Flaming Spires

Adventure always starts with an idea, and leads to something greater than expected. The idea of adventuring is to have new experiences which can only be found by exiting your comfort zone and searching exploring. This night was an off trail night, just falling short of a predetermined goal which I had no knowledge of in the field. I started a journey some time ago I call star collecting. Basically you find points (GPS) of interest and mark them with your navigation systems. Then when you're out in the field, rather than wander blindly you can seek out these points. This was one of those nights. Not nearly as sucessful as I'd hoped, we fell short of my target and ended up with this instead.

 

I thought it was quite beautiful to see what appeared to be spires on fire quickly lighting up and dissipating almost as quickly as they came. Right below here is a narrow long slot canyon and as I ran through it in almost dark you could see the bats. They looked like alien creatures and their eyes seemed to watch me as I moved through their home.
