Thanks for your comments, folks. I'd like to go the the same area again and try and find some more. Maybe this fall when it has cooled off again. Matt used a hitch, and added some rectangular tubing to it with the two can holders (Blitz, IIRC) bolted to the top. Simple, and tucked up and out...

How about September or October? I'm going to try and get back down to Beef Basin or to the White Rim either of those two months.

The Moody Clan would like a test-drive...

Great looking 4runner. That is a nicely modified truck for the money. I am wondering what springs are on the truck, (885/895, etc?) just for my own reference...

I have always had a soft spot for the Vanagons, but especially the Syncros. Awesome to see them in use and modified. The father of one of my students bought a cherry Syncro off of a dealer lot shortly after trade in by someone else. Went in and asked how much it was, and they told him 4200. He...

History and adventure just seem to go hand in hand, don't they?

After viewing the ruins, we stopped and had a well-earned lunch overlooking the ruins and the valley below before making the 4 mile trek back to camp. Both of my knees were angry with me when I returned back. I quickly quit my complaining when I saw my father's foot and it's aftermath from HITR...

After shimmying out there with my camera bag slung over the edge of the cliff, I had to stop and contemplate a native living and thriving here, high up on the cliff, far beyond my realm of comprehension and just be there for a few moments...looking out on the valley stretching out below, just as...

After some downright brutal bushwhacking, we arrived at the other side so that we were able to access the ruins more closely. To access the ledge, you must lay on your stomach and shimmy across a 30" wide shelf with a couple hundred foot cliff to the side. Andy and I were the only two of the...

After another few miles of hiking...we saw the first of the structure we had seen from camp: More to come...

Up on the false top of the 50 Mile Bench, we stopped for a breather. It is about a thousand foot elevation gain over a mile. From the false top: Do you see our camp way down below? The McKay's had stashed a 10L water bag up on top earlier in the week, so we set out to pick that up and move...

The primary focus of many of the McKay backcountry trips is to scope out Native American sites. When we were leaving camp to drive out the HITR, Andy spotted a structure directly above our campsite. We knew we had to get up there to see it up close. After a nice relaxing dinner back at camp, we...

The entire desert was in bloom. Once we had arrived back to the vehicles, we noticed a nice JK attached to an AT Chaser at the parking area. A nice couple was walking back to it, and we chatted about their trailer, and the area, and of course Hole in the Rock. Turns out it was Rick and...

On the way down, my pops (who has -very- limited vision, yet is always up for a good historical adventure) misjudged a dropoff and injured his leg and foot quite severely. He turned back, but the rest of our crew made it down to the Lake and took a little swim in the 58 degree lake water.

A few weekends ago I was invited by the McKay Brothers to attend their annual May S. Utah trip. Although they spend the week out there, I couldn't make the week happen, so we went down for a long weekend. A long-time friend Clair and my father, John came along in my vehicle. We explored Hole in...

Cave! Cave! Do it!

Excellent! (And solo no less...)

I'll take one of the large (2m) awnings. I'll bring you cash this weekend if you'll be around.

Nice...

Chiming in late here... I have both the folding and the 2 burner side by side. I think the side by side 2 burner is cheaper than the folder version (right at 200 for the side by side)... I had a local propane shop make an adapter...it was 10 dollars. I rarely use the larger tank I have.
