This video is a continuation of my previous one (“Exploring the Desert on a ‘Feeling Less Cautious’ Day). On my way out of the canyon, I stopped in a small cave I frequent and made up a quick meal of tamales and Mexican hot cocoa (Abuelita).

It was a simple thing, but it was interesting to notice the difference between the adrenaline-saturated adventure of climbing my way through crumbling canyon walls and sitting beside a fire looking out at the view. Two very different approaches, but both very good for the soul.
