If only you were a bit closer...I would take it.

I have a spot like that (where the 3rd row once was) next to my fridge, I like to use it to store jackets and such....things that can be crammed in there and are generally misshapen- I am really liking the AT Drawers more and more...

On the Comb Wash road, we stopped and threw a few logs on top to use for firewood once we were back in camp. Nic, the closet pyromaniac, used his weed burner to start the fire: Before long, we were living it up: The sun turned in and we enjoyed the warmth of a crackling fire only a true pyro...

Our last destination was set to be Monument Valley, though as the sun was creeping towards the western horizon, we saved it for next time. With the pioneers to the area fresh in our minds, we thought it would be prudent to drive back to camp along the Comb Wash. Stopping at some petroglyph...

That would be great...next time?

MPH: Yes, December of last year as well...I can't seem to get enough desert love. After visiting with Jess for a bit, and some free Diet Cokes for the road, we drove up to the Goosenecks SP for Nic to see. I wasn't all that excited about seeing them again, but I once again found myself in awe...

After wandering around Bluff for a couple of hours, we decided to head into Mexican Hat to visit a friend of my Dad's, whose father owns the little pizza/RV/beer joint in town known as Valle's. The walls are covered with coins and currency from all over the world...it is amazing to see that...

From the ruins, we decided to venture down the Comb Wash to see the town of Bluff, which was settled by Mormon Pioneers. It turns out that after an already arduous journey to setup a Mormon presence in SE Utah, the group, led by Jens Nielsen (an original pioneer who came across the plains via...

After setting up camp under some picturesque Cottonwood trees, we were spent from a day on the road, and decided to call it early. We got ourselves rolling quickly in the morning, and Nic joined up with us in the cruiser to mitigate fuel costs, and to enjoy each other's company. Our first stop...

Determined to get one more jaunt under my belt for the year, I had planned on going to Beef Basin for Thanksgiving weekend. As per the norm, few people are willing to brave the cold this time of year, had family responsibilities, and some opted out of going at the last minute. Always up for an...

Valley of the Gods last weekend:

Awesome. Love the ranger comment. Fantastic photos. The Maze is a great place to center yourself...

That sure was fun, wasn't it? Are you coming out again next year?

I give that book to friends and family that have children. Fantastic book. There is an updated version I just saw at a bookstore locally here...mine is the last edition.

Tempting....

Great place to wander....nice documentation.

1st Utah snow:

I use all 3 sizes of the lanterns by Black Diamond almost exclusively now...I rarely break out the old white gas lanterns except for the backyard summer bbqs.

Very nice...I've read some of Jardine's stuff before. It makes you realize just how little we really need to live and enjoy it out there. Things can become awfully cluttered quick. I like light, but I am more comfortable in the 40lb. range...I like my flask, amongst other things... :)

Despite Hilary owning a solid -20 degree down sleeping bag, and plenty of cold weather gear to boot, she usually says, "Have a good time!" when I head out in the winter. She poops in the PETT. (I'd be killed if she knew I was posting this) Edit: COLD is the #1 reason.
