Day trip to the Drip Gorge

Today we ventured out to the Drip Gorge in nearby Ulan.
Here are some shots of the family exploring about:

SJ and Monkey try holding up the massive rockface along our hike through 'The Drip'. It was super cool that every so often a spray of water would gently tumble down from the rocks high above. 
To provide a little scale, here are SJ, Monkey and Doodle stopping by one of the open features where there are all sorts of nooks and crannies where little animals (like bats in the evening) look to make their home.

Here the family stopped for a group shot after lunch. This is about the spot where we decided to turn about as too much exposure in the middle of the day (plus the heat) are ill-advised.
It was a stunning hike and the constant sound of the thousands of cecadas around us was super cool.

Great to talk with you all today. Doodle looks and sounds healthy and happy. Before he left, he expressed concern that he would have an accent compared with the locals. Has he mentioned it since?

He has not said a word about it since. Thank you find the reminder, I'll check in with him.
