PictureThis is on the way to the trailhead. The Desert National Wildlife Refuge is one of the last places in the lower 48 United States where you can go to be alone while surrounded by wildlife and flora and endless adventures await. I fall in love with this place more and more each time I visit.

It was SO COLD that night! We made a giant fire to compensate.

The next morning after camp we hiked up the trail and all of a sudden there is the Hidden Forest Cabin of Desert National Wildlife Refuge.

And YES the stove and the sink works! There is a bed platform too but I prefer my tent so that Sean, Chaco, and I can have a slumber party.

Line drawing first and then watercolor next!

Adding watercolor after my line drawing. At this point my hands were FREEZING and I was SO ready to just go into the cabin. ​

I'm not going to lie my hands were SO cold after painting this cute little postcard painting. I had to paint on a beautiful day in the words to the sound of woodpeckers and Chaco and Sean running around. 

Chaco really has a great selfie face. Sean and I are just cracking up!

On the way out it was a bright and sunny day just BEGGING for us to come back! We had already forgotten how cold it was that night!

Until the next adventure! Into the van we go!

Thanks for spending time exploring some of my art adventures outdoors. 

Where should I go next? Comment below!

Happy Adventures!
