DAY 11 – KINGS CANYON
It rained ALL night last night. Our Not-So-Waterproof-Tent” was OK but not perfect!! A little bit of drying of sleeping bags and tent and soaking shoes was necessary!!! Pauline managed to find some bread had arrived at the shop but noticed it had been eaten by mice! When she went to exchange it for another, she ended up asking for her money back as all the bags were the same!!
It was a bit difficult to know what to do today. It is very overcast and raining from time to time. A lot of people moved out today, presumably to move on to somewhere dryer! The Parsons are only here two nights so HAD to do the big Rim Walk today. We decided to do the two shorter walks – The Kings Creek Walk and the Kathleen Springs walk – today and hope like hell that the weather fines up for the big walk tomorrow! Both were absolutely beautiful and so secluded. It was amazing seeing how the stockmen used to trap the cattle in the gorge near the spring water. Little fence building needed with the natural fence of the gorge either side.
Off to “The Roadies” again tonight. The kids are absolutely loving them! Bridget Parsons and Beth are particularly enjoying watching their Dads dance to the Twist (NOT!). Ben got to sing the national anthem tonight, like Tess the previous night. We are hoping and praying for the rain to stop so the tent will dry!!
