The weekend of 12 Dec 08, Tracy and I headed down to southern Utah. I planned to check out a few roads in the area. We found some really nice stuff outside of Moab and Green River, and we spent the entire weekend in the same general…
Over the long Thanksgiving weekend of 26 Nov 08, Tracy and I headed out for another long weekend kayaking on Lake Powell. We rented kayaks from REI and then headed to Bullfrog on the north end of the lake. We had tried to kayak here earlier in…
The weekend of 31 Oct 08 Tracy and I took a great trip to Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch. Buckskin is supposed to be one of the longest slot canyons in the world: a solid 15 miles of high-walled, narrow canyon. We had a permit for two…
