There was a new update posted on the 27th. Things seem to be improving...

A weekend of sightings along I-90 in eastern Washington/ Friday 9/23 a Hawk on a Tundra eastbound just east of the Batum-Scgragg Rest Area. Sunday 9/25 Hawk on a red Dodge westbound just east of the Winchester Rest Area and then either a Grandby or a Hawk on a Black or Navy truck westbound out...

This weekend outside Vantage, WA, time for some fall climbing. Sent from my SM-G920V using Wander The West mobile app

I haven't been paying attention to the weather down there yet as my journey is still too far away but the rehab on the roads will be sunshine, wind and time for them to dry out.

Looks like the most recent update was posted yesterday, http://www.blm.gov/style/medialib/blm/ut/grand_staircase-escalante/road_reports.Par.6539.File.dat/2016-08-24_GSENM-Road-Condition-Report.pdf

Some of my favorite reports! As much as i enjoy everyone's photos and descriptions I really enjoy your unique reports! Thanks for sharing.

There are worse ways to spend a couple weeks! Might be a good time to take up fly fishing ;)

I have the Benchmark and DeLorme maps already and have just ordered the Trails Illustrated maps for Grand Gulch-Cedar Mesa (706) and Manti-La Sal National Forest (703). I like maps and guidebooks and may end up with more before I leave. I've also downloaded the area onto my tablet in...

Also, a checkbook is handy for paying campground fees since they always seem to be amounts that i don't have the correct change for.

200 miles/day means your going to come across some sort of grocery every day or two, even with the new gas can you'll still need to refuel periodically so there will be trips to civilization and you have a fridge. In the immortal words of Douglas Adams

It'll be the 27th or so before I would be exiting Cathedral Valley. Camping in VotG until Monday the 24th.

Looks like a great trip! So many places to explore.

Where are peoples travels taking them after the Utah campering weekend in October? My original thought was to perhaps go to Hall's and take the ferry across to Bullfrog and from there go up to Boulder via the Burr Trail then along 12 to Capitol Reef and up through Cathedral Valley And out the...

I have two, one by Crazy Creek and one by Camptime. The Crazy Creek is an aluminum table and resistant to heat but takes some maintenance every now and then to realign the slats. The Roll-a-Table from Camptime is vinyl covered wood but the top isn't resistant to heat so need to be a bit...

First question, what exactly does 'city type pickup truck' mean? Many years ago, when the earth was young but after the dinosaurs I worked in the Needles District and went into both Lavender and Davis Canyons as well as Beef Basin. Beef Basin from 211 I remember as being a fairly decent road...

Beautiful photos!

I have a Grandby on a Tundra with a 6.5' bed. Tailgate is off, I have four pressure treated 2x4's running lenghtwise to provide a bit of extra support as well as lift to clear the deeper bed sides of the Tundra. For towing I bought an 18" extension that gets used for bike racks and some...

Have a small inverter that I almost never use. I did just buy an AC adapter for my camera and might try shoooting some shots with the intervalometer so maybe there will be some future use.

Pretty sure that it'll all work out but yes, you have a permit spot. More info can be found here. Here is a link to a Google map showing the TH, canyon rim and ruin locations (approximate).

I have no problem dropping the top and taking a group up to the TH. Breaking camp doesn't take long and I can fit 3 others pretty comfortably in the Tundra. 4 others gets a bit cozy but can be done though everyone might want a window for the views on the Moki Dugway.

I have a permit for the 23rd to hike into Moonhouse Ruin with a couple spots open. I think there are still some permits available for that day if others are interested. Only 20/day are allowed in.

Nice write up! Fun following the adventures, now if only Google and Tacoma would agree on driving times :)

Going Canyonlands/Arches puts you a long way from St. George and if you cross the river at Page or Marble Canyon after the North Rim then you are going to go to either Hite or Moab to cross back. Zion/Bryce/GSENM will all keep you withing relatively easier driving distance to St. George...
