CANON DE NACAPULE!

Yesterday Jerry, Skeeter and myself along with some other cruisers, John sv magus, Kate and Dan sv akupara, and Randy and Jenny sv mystic went for a hike up Nacapule Canyon.

The morning turned out to be a great day for the hike, and once we got into the canyon because of the rain for our storm last week there were many water pools. 

When we reached the Y in the canyon, we decided to go to the left, which is not as long, but has a lot more pools of water.  The first pool of water had a lot of dirt and leaves but was the largest by far, to go further up, you had to climb a rope that conveniently left there to help you up and down the rock.

Unfortunately we were unable to get Skeeter up so Jerry stayed down below with him while the rest of us went up.  There were about 4 more pools up on top, which is what started the waterfall down to the large pool of water below.  I dropped my camera case in one of the smaller pools of water so Randy and Jenny decided to go in and get it...I think they wanted to go swimming anyways, but thanks for retrieving it. 

poor skeet wondering why he can't get up there!

Skeeter and I saw some frogs and snakes by the pools, Skeeter wanted to play, but that was not my idea of fun. 

We also saw some seed pods that were on a palm tree, Randy tried the inside of one, but not quit sure what they were, very interesting anyways.

There was much green vegetation and some nice flowers growing due to the recent rain, much more lively than the last time Jerry and I went through.

Skeet looking handsome as ever!
