Thanks guys! Hard to take a bad photo of that place.

Sorry for the delay. Was on ANOTHER trip ha 2 week one this time. Lots more to come I suppose!

As the light faded away finally to nothing. We all just sat around the fire completely satisfied with the day and the best campsite I think any of us had ever been too. The DeTour-123.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr Dome Plateau had not disappointed us. We knew that tomorrow was going...

We were in photo heaven and could not stop as it only got better as the light faded away and brought out the many colors of Utah’s landscape. 2017-09-29 - 00078 - The De-Tour - Day 13 by Dan, on Flickr IMG_4193 by mike digirat, on Flickr IMG_4195 by mike digirat, on FlickrIMG_4199 by mike...

One thing was certain, the desert crust up here was doing stellar. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it so tall and thick. The DeTour-92.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr IMG_4164 by mike digirat, on Flickr IMG_4167 by mike digirat, on Flickr The DeTour-93.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on...

well..I guess it did its job..sort of. “Tagged the tcase there, watch your line!” I informed Dan and Mike over the radio..was pointless though as they both had belly skids. Still they swung a bit wider than I did to avoid too much contact. The DeTour-83.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr...

And it didn’t take long before we found ourselves on a steep downhill. None of the ledges were super big though after a quick walk down and the wash was damp but not muddy. Onward and downward! The DeTour-53.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr The DeTour-54.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on...

Dan had a blast during this spot having to pick a line on 31s. Of course the trail wasn’t that bad and he had no problems. But it was still a really fun time! 2017-09-29 - 00045 - The De-Tour - Day 13 by Dan, on Flickr The light was great and the views also very nice. We were back in the...

Soon I’d caught up with Bob who gladly pulled over to let us by. “Hey your group turned around back there” I mentioned to him thinking perhaps he hadn’t heard the screaming lady. He was an older gentleman after all.. “Oh yeah, they just think its too bumpy. But not me! Im going all the way...

Chapter 12: One site to Rule them ALL The night wasn’t bad all things considered. It was weird to be able to hear traffic from the highway down below. But still slept good. However, we were parked close to the road and lots of traffic picked up on it. It was a popular destination and lead to a...
