Wadi Hiking

Today we thought an adventure was in order while we are exploring this barren Negev area... So we got dropped off at the very bottom base of a canyon - a finger of one of the "wadi" systems that drains water to the plains- and hiked out. 

It was a HARD hike- sweet mt crystalite holds no flame to today's experience. It was a terrifying hike- we literally had to climb ladders out some places were so steep. And it was awesome. One of the coolest things I've ever ever ever done.  Much like in hezekiahs tunnel I was terrified/uncomfortable most of the time so I took precious few pictures- but the view from the bottom, the hike up and ultimately the top where we arrived about an hour before sunset was INCREDIBLE.  



We read psalms 90 and 91 at the top- those attributed to Moses who lead his people through here.  He famously says that God IS from everlasting to everlasting. Looking from horizon to horizon as the sunset in front of us His majesty was clear to see. There was really only one thing to say: good one God.
