Better internet access tonight. https://searchingfor.wordpress.com/2017/10/10/leslie-gulch/ https://searchingfor.wordpress.com/2017/10/11/snakes-oh-my/

Bad and non existing internet. Not a bad thing, but it makes it a challenge to post while on the road. Here is Monday's post. https://searchingfor.wordpress.com/2017/10/09/next-stop-the-owyhees/

Not to the Owyhees yet, but here is the beggining of my trip. This morning I woke up to a dusting of snow. Winter is around the corner. With the lack of cell/internet coverage, the next posts may be hit/miss until I get home. https://searchingfor.wordpress.com/2017/10/08/im-off-2/

I've been to Hart Mountain too. Nice place. I think I will most likely pass on this trip. I'm trying to stop flittering around on trips, jumping from one place to another. Stop hurrying, seeing only the highlights, then hurrying back to work. I want to slow down and adsorb a place and get...

Thanks. I was hoping I might see fall color on the trip.

I've been to both areas, but haven't made it to the top of the Steens. One year I was too early and another year an early snow storm came through. Thanks for the reminder, I had tunnel vision only looking at the Owyhee's. If the snows hold off I can stop at the Steen on the way home. I'm...

I'm leaving in a few days for the Owyhees. I'm going to focus the trip on the west side; I don't think I have enough time to travel the Mud Flat road over to the east and see the area around the Bruneau River. But??? Places I have identified to go include: Succor Creek Leslies Gulch Jordan...

Thanks for the link. Looks good. I wish it had more Canadian forest fires, but maybe that will get added.

I thought I remembered someone on this site about a year ago telling about a web site that projected smoke density in the future. Kind of like a weather forecast, but it was a wildfire smoke forecast for days in the future. I've search this site and the web and can't find anything like that...

I have a number of ideas you can pick from. Most are included in my blog in a Sept 2013 trip. See link below. Paisley caves. They are a world-class heritage site where the earliest directly-dated human remains (DNA) yet discovered in the Western Hemisphere were found in human coprolites dated...

If you make it to the Steens, something a little different is the Diamond Craters a bit north. Below is a link to the brochure. https://www.blm.gov/or/resources/recreation/files/brochures/DiamondCratersTourBrochure_August07.pdf Page Springs is a nice campground. A nice walk from the...

I haven't gotten out my map and followed Foy's route but it sounds like it goes close to the Gravelly Range Backcounty Road. This road intrigues me. I may drive it in September. If you take, please report in. http://www.bigskyfishing.com/scenic-drives/gravelly-range.php

Reminder. Comments on Bears Ears is due before May 26.

What type of dog is the pup? He is mighty handsome.

For more information about the San Rafael Swell area see: http://www.emerycounty.com/travel/ There is a map and travel guide to download. I found them packed full of information.

I heard about Gold Butte a few years ago and have it put on my to-go list, sort-of. Since I travel by myself, I try to follow my rule of: I don't drive down a road further than I can walk out when it looks like the road isn't traveled once a day by someone. I've been thinking Gold Butte may...

How does one get tanks recertified? Thanks

If you are thinking of driving around the north end of Salt Lake, maybe you would like to check out Devil's Playground. I haven't been there but it sounds kind of cool. I would love it if you would check it out for me and report back. :-)...

Thanks for sharing. Your slide show brings back good memories of places I've been and adds new places I want to go to my list. What camera do you have? I'm thinking of buying a real camera to upgrade from my smartphone.

I ended up not driving the Beef Basin, so no update. Maybe some day in the future...

I've taken two trips to southern Utah with my two dogs. In the National Parks you can not take your dogs on the hiking trails, so I have stayed away from the parks. But there is no shortage of wonderful cool places to go with your dogs. The Wedge, Buckhorn Draw, the San Rafael Swell, Cedar...

Thanks for the trip report. I sat down the read the entire report enjoying my virtual trip with you. Your photos are a pleasure to see and the description of having patience to wait for the correct lighting has inspired me to continue to work on slowing down to enjoy the little things.

I wish this was my trip report, but I have been at work hitting the keyboard, talking on the phone, and doing what I do to earn a salary. But a friend returned from a cool trip and I want to share it. I can't seem to get a link to work so you will have to google it. Google: Guadalupe Canyon...

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading your trip report. And thanks for the introduction to the Lost Coast. I didn't know that such an isolated coast existed in California. It is now on my todo list for some day.

Thanks for the report from an area I don't know.
