I've been unable to do much for over a month with a severely pulled hamstring which has left my entire leg down to my toes black and blue. Doc said it would be good to keep moving as opposed to just laying around with my leg elevated. And as long as I kept dosed up with Naproxin and / or ibuprofen to keep the pain at bay.
I've been eyeballing maps of the Bisti area (AKA De-Na-Zin) in NM for quite a while and decided to head that way and take my chances with my condition. The bad part was that there's no cell service in that location but figured (hoped) there'd be others in that area that may be within shouting distance if something happened. Ya, right.
Arriving in the late afternoon, I set up "camp".
My dog CeCe standing guard
Within a short distance of camp the jumble of hoodos and convoluted passageways began.
A bit of the moon was hanging above
My trusty guide
Interesting and fragile looking formation. Kinda like a moose ear? I think it was about 8+ feet of cantilever.
Let the hoodoos begin
High table
They're everywhere

After about 2.5 miles my leg had had enough.
I decided to head back. My leg was not cooperating but before leaving the area, I checked out some trailheads for my next visit. Bisti is a HUGE area and much more to see than just hoodoos.
