Not sure what this face means… ImpromptU-Ah-14.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr But this is a happy one! ImpromptU-Ah-15.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr We got to the bottom and I got the tools out. Unner grabed some screw drivers for me to use as well. Devin, prepared to...

I loved how there was snow on the mountains. I found it very cool to see how contrasting the landscape and temperatures are within miles of each other on this whole trip. Ben was quick to get his rig up to the ledge for the classic TOTW photo. IMG_0124 by Benjamin Springli, on Flickr...

For his first time in the rocks, Gavyn had been doing great. I think this was one the second time I spotted him all day. IMG_4827 by Benjamin Springli, on Flickr IMG_4832 by Benjamin Springli, on Flickr IMG_4834 by Benjamin Springli, on Flickr Kirsten was still slaying rocks with the manual...

Once again i have the tall tires but lowest lift ha need to fix that some day.. IMG_0042 by Benjamin Springli, on Flickr While inspecting Gavyns rig a big closer I saw that he had one of the very clean and now excint Whitson metalworks Roof rack. ImpromptU-Ah-37.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos...

Of which there are..quite a lot. Over 28 I think. We lost count haha nothing deep mind you but fun to splash through! The road is pretty long but we were in no real hurry and enjoyed the scenery. ImpromptU-Ah-18.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr ImpromptU-Ah-19.jpg by Monte Nickles...

ImpromptU-AH! Back to Utah We Go! It really had not been that long since we had been to Utah. Actually it had barely been 5 months. But Devin and I were still thinking about how amazing our last trip was. (If you missed it, check it out here) So there I was on the couch at home after...

Thanks for reading! You have a wonderful weekend yourself! We ended up just taking away all things that would be an attractant to him. Then left him alone :) Worked pretty well. Thanks for the comments Russ, its great to hear back from people.

Exactly!! Why i put it in. And really it was something i noticed near the end of the trip. My truck on this trip isn't anything super special. No lockers. But does the job to get out! Thanks for reading. You're welcome and thank you for reading as well!

haha Long as it gets you there and back its a proper vehicle! Thank you for reading and commenting. It was a fantastic trip. Thanks!! Yes you do! Though some pretty cool stuff in Texas.. I find it kinda funny how i watch many of the people i know go to other countries and explore far far...

I've wanted to come here ever since my good friend Marc @SconnieHailer had posted photos about it a few years ago. This time I wasn't going to miss it. M~D~U-39.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr M~D~U-40.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr M~D~U-41.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on...

At the intersection we once again turned north to head up Lands End and Flint trail to exit The Maze from the North, the original way we had entered. Despite it being our 3rd time here, I still had to take photos which was fun and I let Devin drive to Flint. M~D~U-20.jpg by Monte Nickles...

Chapter 8: The Final Stretch The next morning, was a late morning. Thankfully the tall rocks sheltered us from the hot sun to allow us the chance to sleep in after a very late night. I crawled out of the tent a bit gingerly expecting the skunk to still be there. Thankfully, it was not...

Well there ya go! Long chapter and a ton of photos. Enjoy! Thanks Russ! Been crazy a work indeed the last few weeks. I think this week though i have more time and can get this thing totally wrapped up! Which is good because i have plenty of other ones to start! Glad you're enjoying it!

M~D~U-52.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr Our trail T'ed into a bigger trail and even had an info board on it. M~D~U-53.jpg by Monte Nickles Photos, on Flickr We decided to continue down hill because..why not? But then it became obvious, we would be going down for a very very long...

Also, it did not take us 8 hours to get there. In fact it took us around 4. this meant we had quite a bit of daylight left and Devin and I decided to go check out the short hike the Ranger had told us about. Mike said he didn't mind and kept setup up his camp and walked around himself a bit...
