If This Is Hell...
Yesterday, Buddha (the dog) and I spent the day hiking at Hell's Hole. Two of my favorite places are Hell's Hole in Colorado and Hell's Roaring Canyon in Utah. So, I guess if someone tells me to go to Hell, I'll gladly do it.
I had planned to drive to Hell's Hole to see the changing aspen, take some photos and come home - maybe be gone 3 or 4 hours. But I lost all track of time - heck, I totally misplaced any concept of the existence of time - and we got back home 7 1/2 hours later. With very tired paws.
I could write much, much more, but duty calls and I have to go to work today.
The photo above is one of my favorites from the day. Yellow aspen leaves floating on the water. The trees you see are only reflections.
It looks to me like the leaves are floating on air.
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

In Wyoming, there is a place called Hell's Half Acre ... it's on the road between Casper and Shoshoni (40 miles east of Casper). I remember stopping by there with my friend Carol (!) who lives in Casper. I think the cafe is closed now....
Another one to visit?
Sorry that should have read 40 miles WEST of Casper.
"Walking through Hell with Buddha" sounds like a Grateful Dead song. :)
I often wonder how some of these places get their names. Like when I hiked at Horsethief Falls, did someone just think it was a cool name or is there actually some story or history about a horse thief? I couldn't find it if there is....
Dancing,
I used to live for traveling to different hot springs. Now I guess I'll have to change my quest to all places named "Hell".
Thomas,
It does, doesn't it?
Or else a Zen teaching.
Otowi,
Whatever the stories behind the names, I think that people use to be much more creative and colorful in naming places than they are now.
