Day Off #4
We have wanted to see White Pocket ever since we heard about it soon after arrival but the directions for getting there (4WD, high clearance vehicle required; deep sand; unmarked roads; no cell phone service) scared me. Fred has gotten us safely to similarly remote destinations over equally bad roads so when he said the recent rains have made driving through sand easier, I agree to make today White Pocket Day.
We started down House Rock Valley Road at 7:45 and two grueling hours later parked at White Pocket. The shaking, bumping, thumping, rocking , bucking and washboarding were worth it!
I lack the words to describe this place; all I can offer is our pictures which cannot do its harsh and unique beauty justice:
We spotted Fred Flintstone's vacation home!
