Duke Knife Enthusiast Registered: 08/21/09 Posts: 2004 Loc: Southwest Virginia	Keep your pedal to the metal, Peter! And I agree with ya', buddy re:"somebody has to have a lot of fun & it might as well be me." Since my early teen years I've tried to live by many of the words of wisdom in that famous dog-eared book,"Words to Live Fully/Daily--WWDD"....and you're sure covering at least a couple: --"Too much fun just can't be done." --"Get out while you can." Thanks for your "travelogue", my friend, and do keep those pics coming. _________________________ Duke;RKS#5567 RKCC-CM-087 Southwest VA

JE6245 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/02/14 Posts: 1064 Loc: Tallahassee FL	Ditto on the positive comments above but how do you get back down? Seriously, I'm from Florida and have no knowledge of anything to do with higher elevations and, especially, climbing rocks. _________________________ Jim E. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra Me 2020

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2585 Loc: Southeast Utah	Jim What I was doing was canyoneering, where you essentially going down canyon by hiking and rappelling down the pouroffs that have no way around. You hike into the upper part of the canyon, and in this case you need to swim through a couple of pools to the first rappel, and continue down by hiking and rappelling as needed. Then you can usually walk out the bottom of the canyon and head back to where you started. There is no rock climbing in particular, but sometimes a lot of scrambling. I hope this helps Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Incredibly beautiful country. _________________________ Jim E. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” – Yogi Berra Me 2020

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2585 Loc: Southeast Utah	Hi Guys here are some photos from my latest adventure. There is a spring fed stream, that you can hike up and get to a really nice waterfall at the end. A nice thing to do on a hot day. Wearing water shoes allows you to stay in the stream bed for most of the hike. The canyon starts off pretty shallow but the walls get pretty tall near the end. I am not positive, but I think the photo of the bird may be an eagle. It didn't hang around long enough to get a good photo Peter Attachments ------ Description: stream ------ Description: view from stream near trailhead ------ Description: frog ------ Description: stream view ------ Description: unique rock ------ ------ Description: large bird, maybe eagle ------ Description: deeper in the canyon _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2585 Loc: Southeast Utah	Pap Thanks for the conformation, we don't see a lot of those here, and it may be the first one I have seen. It was huge. I hope you can get back for a visit some time Peter _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
