    Petrichor
    There are times
    When a natural phenomenon chimes
    And your senses recognize sublime
    Like the smell of the air
    After the rain stops
    It just pops.
    A magical elixir, a potion
    Earthiness from the fusion of elements
    Wafting from earths kitchen

    Love Organ Pipe. Note on the drive featured in this video… it is so beautiful. While it is only 21 miles, it took us 8 hour in our class B Roadtrek Zion. And when we got back to our campsite EVERYTHING was coated in a layer of dust. Still worth the drive but wanted to share the complete experience. Also, the showers at the national park campground are solar heated so are Only hot during the day when we were there last February.
