Kristian - you are a great writer, I dig reading your perspective on tripping, and your photos bring a new perspective and a desire to Get Out on the Road!
Sadly (I know I speak for a lot of us) you have a serious lack of photos of yourself. Soo... I am adding some to your montage.
First of all, if you are ever looking for a guide to .. well anywhere really, Kristian is your man. He is a solid outdoor adventurist, knows his way (or can find his way) anywhere. He knows so many little known facts, even about areas I thought I knew. The time I spent on the trip from Moab through Valley of the Gods, Monument Valley down to Toroweap was my first real taste of overlanding in true style.
And then of course meeting up with K.C. .. these guys make a pair of all out expedition men - proving such adventures are accessible to even the weekend warrior of overlanding. No sweat.
On the trail ....
Then we met up with Walt another stonghold of the OL scene. I don't think I've met anyone so immaculately organized with their gear (not even K) :Wow1: Anyone could take a lesson from Walt!
Yes, we definitely hit up the full gamut of weather .. I think we can all agree that the vast expansiveness of the desert allows the weather to well up in the skies in a full unabashed exposure.
To the man .. the myth .. the eco-tourism promoting junkie and overland legend - for guiding me through the back roads of redrock and mountain peaks, sun to snow. As they say in Utah: "I had a reeal good time". :smiley_drive:
(and great job on the yoga sesh, for a 1st time yogi you kept up a great attitude and what better way to experience the grand canyon?)
