With my roomate studying for her Series 24 test it was time to get out of the house for a few days and heading west to Kofa seemed like a good plan. Friday morning after I got on the road and headed towards Yuma. The plan was to stop at the headquarters there and get a map and maybe get some...

Congrats! Always great to hear about milestones and successes! Hope you keep it going...

Patagonia Lake while pretty was to me too overrun with the kind of RV's that like to plug in when we went in early December. Parker Canyon Lake south of Sonoita was pretty though not especially rugged. There is some exploring to do in the Huachuca Mtns that I haven't gotten around to yet, Same...

Congrats on the new camper! I'm a member of the same trip reports club :D

I'm using OP/TECH as well. Like being able to setup the cameras and binoculars and swap things around between the double sling and single sling straps depending on what I need on a given day. The heaviest I've put on so far is a gripped D600 with a 200-500 on one side and a D7000 something on...

Quick tally off the top of my head is 41, about half of those came during the March-April time frame then things slowed down as I got ready to move south and haven't gotten out as much as I'd like since the move. Hoping 2018 brings many more new places but do't anticipate a bump in the number...

Machete, ammo cans, bug net.

Happy Holidays all! As the daylight grows longer may we all enjoy trip planning and looking forward to another year of wandering and adventures!

Gorgeous!

Sounds like many of my trips anyways! :D

Sounds like the makings of a Clive Cussler novel.

Got an email that said my model is on backorder for an indeterminate amount of time.

Nice shots! Really like wandering that country, thanks for jogging some memories.

Some good news this week!

I went through the "Boycott Utah" stage when some of this first came about but I have friends there who rely on tourist revenues and after talking to them I figured out an alternative that works for me : I contribute more to SUWA, Friends of Cedar Breaks, GSENM Partners and other groups than I...

Thanks for all thr÷ parts. Reminded me of our trip this past spring and got me thinking about another one. Maybe New Years on the White Rim ?!

Or a propane firepit that will let you have a fire even when there are restrictions in place.

Nice write-up! Oh so true about only scratching the surface, it seems that every trip to Utah presents me with new areas to go back and explore more in depth.

Both! I had never noticed before but the last publication from SUWA listed the Legal Director first on the masthead. There will be a battle but also think it's important to get this funded so that people are aware how to visit without making an impact.

Happy Thanksgiving all! Forecast is calling for temps close to 90 degrees tomorrow, I'm not missing the rain and snow at all. May go camping for the remainder of the weekend as is my usual Thanksgiving MO.

OK, so not to buy the land and keep the monument from being shrunk, hopefully the courts will take care of that. Rather there is a project on Kickstarter to raise money for a Bears Ears Educational Center. Goal is to raise another $100,000 by the end of the year, they already have $230,000...

Maybe this should go into trip planning but ... Anyone planning on making the journey to Salt Lake for the Monument Rally being put on by SUWA (and others)on December 2nd? I'm thinking about making the trip north with maybe a stop at Bears Ears along the way

I got close to 50,000 from my AT3's on the Tundra, always carrying the Grandby. They still had a moderate amount of tread left when I went to the ST Maxx last February but with a month long southwest trip in the offing that was going to include Tuweep and the White Rim Trail I wanted a newer...

^ Whitmore Overlook appears to be a fantastic spot!

Valley of the Gods in Utah is a drive though and isn't too far north of Monument Valley. From there up the Moki Dugway and can cross the Colorado at Hite and head north and west to either Cathedral Valley (driving tour in Capitol Reef) or through the San Rafael Swell. Lots of places in Utah...
