Day three...

We spent the rest of day three working on the roof, getting more supplies from Rawlins, Fixin' a Flat, papercreting and improving our general living conditions.

We ran out of water for the papercrete and ran out of daylight to fully finish the pyramid before dark, so it was a productive but rather unsatisfying day.  Frustration led to another long night with little sleep, and when we woke up in the middle of the night it was really cold and the entire night sky was overcast, causing both of us in our sleep deprived state to panic and imagine getting poured on with heavy rain before we could pack up everything before we had to leave to go back to Denver.

So, at 3:00am we got up and got down to feverishly putting everything in the car that was coming home and everything that was staying into the pyramid to await our return.  Note: the car was parked 1/4 mile away on the main road since the Civic isn't much for offroading in its old age.

In less than two hours we were ready to head home, but too exhausted to drive safely and not quite ready to bail on our project without some pictures.

Oh, and it never did rain.  The sun came up while we were napping in the car and it was yet again a beautiful (if a bit cold) sunrise!

We were parked out by the highway on the road that runs through our property, and since it was nice again, we drove the 6 miles back to our driveway to get in a few parting shots.
