Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

Went down to the BLM office to try my luck in the Wave lottery again today. It was a packed house, with 65 people hoping to get one of the ten permits to the Wave - almost twice as many as yesterday.

The bingo balls went round and round, and the second one out was mine!

So I just sat through an hour-long presentation on how to get in to the Wave and back out again. It's a bit tricky, but they provide permit holders with a secret map that includes 10 photos of key waypoints. It's a pretty good map.

The weather prediction for tomorrow is excellent. I'm going in!!!

Should have known it was my lucky day. Last night at my Ponderosa Grove campground, I was visited by half-a-dozen mule deer. And, just before dawn, the coyotes howled like a chorus of demons. First time I've heard coyotes on this trip.

    Thanks, Lisa! As you can see, I found my way. A compass is a handy thing...
