Peter, these a re really impressive pictures! Thanks for sharing!

Peter,

Keep the pictures coming. I really like seeing the area.
It's like National Geographic at every update.

The scale of those landscapes is incredible!

Better and better!!! Do you have your Utah CCW and do you pack a snake pistol? It is my understanding that you can pack in a park now. I have a Bond .45/410 twice/shot and in snake country, I load with a .410 bird shot and also pack a couple of #3 Buck shot for nasties and even a couple of slugs just in case. Makes for a nice belly gun and one can always switch barrels to something else like a .22 if so desired.

A few more photos from this week, a few from a river area (beavers were active, but didn't see any) and some from a sandstone dome area.

More great shots, Peter. Did you ever get your Jeep?

Pap

Hi Pap
Haven't gotten a Jeep yet, now I am thinking about trading the van in on one, since I would hardly drive it once I have a high clearance 4x4. I will probably order a 2013 Jeep as soon as they are available. Still waiting on my Utah CCW also, it has been over a month, I wouldn't have thought it would take that long, since I have had a PA one for years.

Mine took about 6 weeks and I had an Arizona and an Idaho CCW, so go figure. Then when I received mine they had the wrong dude's picture!! He was uglier than me!! That took another 3 weeks to get that straightened out, but I finally got it. Interestingly enough that the Arizona CCW doesn't require a picture. You'd think with all the hoopla on the illegals that their CCW would require a picture ID. Very smart to hold out for a '13 Jeep as I hear the new ones are awsome.

These photos make me want to go camping out west. When I look at them I like to pick out my camping spot, like that big open domed space in the photo that's second to last. Looks like a great spot for some peace and quiet.

Went on another great hike where there were many petroglyphs along the cliff face. Very interesting variety of ancient art.
There were also some alcoves with ruins, but were too hard to get into with out ropes. On the way back down, a young fellow was going up to do a base jump (this is when you jump off a cliff with a parachute). We stayed to watch and I got a few photos. There will not be any photos of me base jumping, I am happy to hike back down and will not be jumping off any cliffs. It was cool to watch though.
