Descent from the Mesa to the River

After getting back to camp I packed my gear for the hike down to the river. During the
walk back to camp the wind had picked up strength. Upon my arrival at camp, it proved
its power by blowing my tent over twice. Things inside the tent weighted it down enough
to prevent its being blown over the edge of the cliff. The descent was without incident.
I didn't take many pictures as I was pressed for time. Let's "get down!"
