Water in the wilderness--the Nahal Og in the Judean Wilderness during the winter rains

This is university work? (Would you rather be lost in the library?) Somewhere in the Buqe'ah Valley in the Judean Wilderness.

On the way to the Hyrcania, one of Herod the Great's desert palace fortresses.

From Hyrcania eastward over the Judean Wilderness and the Dead Sea. What a grand morning for class.

I think we are here.

The Second Temple History class on top of the Hyrcania in the Judean Wilderness. Who needs walls?

The Wadi Qilt above Jericho. Tradition puts Jesus' temptation in the area. Both are full of awe.

Noah Pilon from Vancouver, checking out Jericho public transportation. Or would you say "Mountie?"

Walking into Jericho on the "Jericho Road."

"Hans, if you put your fingers in their mouth they'll stand still." At least that's what the shepherd said, here on Azekah.
