| Day 3 finds us in the canyon of
Fornocal. A nice enough drainage which was mostly dry in the upper
section, with spring fed flowing water the further down you go. |
 |
| |
| I don't have a lot to say about
Fornocal. To tell you the truth, I don't really remember much about
it. I thought looking at these pictures would bring back some
memories, but I'm drawing a blank. It's like someone borrowed my
camera, ran through a canyon taking photos and returned it to me
without my knowledge. That's probably where the ideas for those bad
sci-fi movies about memories made to order (ala Total Recall) got
their origin. |
 |
| |
| Which gives me another business idea -
for a nominal fee I can digitally edit your image into these photos so
you can amaze your friends with pictures of your exciting vacation at
a fraction of the cost of the real thing (and you don't have to eat
paella). Click the image below for a sample. |

| A bit tired of waking up every morning
only to put on a layer of damp neoprene, on Day 4 we decide to start
off with a pair of short, dry canyons. The first one is Portiacha, a
side drainage of the Rio Vero. Not much to the canyon really, except
two outstanding photo ops. As the main subject of the photos, Steph is
usually forced to hang from the rope for long periods of time while
John and I shout instructions - 'Come down a little further', 'Look
this way', 'You're a tiger baby, snarl at the camera.'. |

Here's John from the top of the second photo op. I like
the angle of this shot, though you can eliminate the weird perspective
by tilting your head sharply to the left. |
 |
| OK, better straighten up, you look
ridiculous, and people are starting to talk. |
| |
|
This is looking up at that same rappel featuring a very
nice bell shaped alcove. Canyons really don't get much more scenic
that this. |
 |
| |
|
Can't have too many pictures of this one. |
