Still have lots of family and friends in Spokane, weather is mixed. Highways are clear right now but winter driving conditions. More cold weather in the forecast but the 4-5 foot drifts that were in eastern Washington have been cleared. Usually the worst part of the drive is through the...

Congrats on the sale!

2/4/2019 heading south on Alma School in Mesa, AZ saw an older Hawk/Grandby on a white F-150(?) turned off before I was able to catch up.

I've seen RV's parked in the lots at Salt River Field but don't know what the rules are. Usury Pass and Lost Dutchman State Park both have campgrounds.

Thanks for sharing. Stayed overnight at Salt Point a couple years ago and got poured on. Would like to go back and have weather like you had!

Glad you enjoyed Kofa! I spent my last trip there not too far from Skull Rock, since I was going to be there for several nights I didn't want to have people coming through camp all the time as they visited. And you're spot on, there is a ton to explore in the area.

Enjoyed reading about Kofa, I was up Kofa Queen Canyon for three nights over New Year's and ran into member DaveL and his wife on the way in.

Enjoyed the first two installments! Looking forward to reading about the rest of the trip!

I'd look at going to Toroweap on the way there then across 89 out of Kanab and down House Rock Valley Rd to 89A, nice campsite overlooking Badger Rapids in Marble Canyon.

Thanks, mounted to a D7200 for now. At some point I'd like to upgrade to a D500 for the better focus and buffer but it won't be happening anytime soon unless one of those to good to pass up deals comes along.

Thanks! I do have a gimbal, will pretty much be a necessity, can't imagine trying to handhold that lens.

Got a new toy, Sigma 800mm 5.6, still getting it figured out but I think it's going to be fun!

Will do. It looks like there might be some stealth camping available west of San Antonio, at least that's what I'm looking at right now. Might end up on the Mohave Rd instead.

With four days off for New Years my current plan is to head east and visit Bosque del Apache and perhaps White Sands NM since I'll be traveling solo. That being said I would be open to a trip on either Camino del Diablo or the Mohave Road, just don't really want to do either one by myself for...

Hoping to put a keg of this in my kegerator from one of the local breweries. Otherwise I'll be watching for it in the local taphouse!

Vic- I've done both sides a couple times and they are different with Comb Ridge dividing the two. On the west side Comb Ridge is much more vertical while accessing things from the east in Butler Wash there are more ruins that you can gain access to and I find better hiking along that side of...

Interested! Now that Mexico is a weekend trip for me I'm especially interested in hearing about El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar and beach camping along the east side of the Sea of Cortez while avoiding Rocky Point.

They do grade the road periodically but yeah, it gets bad in a hurry. Sees a surprising amount of traffic. Air the tires down and find the sweet speed to smooth things out, there's a lot to see out that road and the side roads off of it. A WtW photo meetup/workshop would be very interesting...

Pretty sure it is on Dance Hall Rock (out Hole in the Rock Road). I've at least seen photos of cottonwoods in potholes taken there.

Back when I was doing lots of whitewater I started using an ammo can for carrying meds/toiletries/basic first aid and sundries that I always wanted nearby. I would strap it to the raft frame next to me if rowing a boat or if in a kayak I would get one of the boatmen(women) to give me an easily...

Always try and wave. And happy to chat but sometimes the four legged ones start barking and cut short any visiting.

Big state, long border with Montana, what time of year? The Magruder Corridor and Lolo Motorway would both be worth checking out but probably not until July. If you get into August you'll start seeing smoke from all the western fires, or at least that's been the pattern the last 5-6 years...

Thanks. I think we'll go Valley of the Gods - Moki Dugway- Beef Basin- Indian Creek- Arches- Willow Springs- Hanksville-Bullfrog-Burr Trail- Boulder-Cottonwood Canyon-Kanab and then home. My roommate has never seen most of that area while I've traveled through all of it pretty extensively...

Thanks! Headed up to southern Utah in 10 days to spend some time wandering around. Nothing like seeing someones photos and reading about their trip to get me excited to revisit some old haunts!

Yes, the bridge that's at the top. Also have one of it along Cottonwood road pulling that trailer.
