Evening Walk on the Goose Neck's Mesa

After bringing up both loads for the night and having a snack, I took a walk toward
the south end of the mesa to talk advantage of the evening's last direct sunlight.
I stayed close to the base of the ridge and got about two-thirds of the way to the
south end. The forms and colors of the rock were fascinating. Cutting the walk
short due to diminishing light was disappointing.
