I have ten days without the Misses May 27 - June 5 and was thinking of a road trip to White Pocket or even the South East corner of Oregon.

I have been to White Pocket 3 times before and if there was some other photographers that would like to visit this place with me I would not mind having you travel to this photogenic landscape wonderland.

Or if you are heading out to a awesome photogenic location and wanted to share the adventure.

For White Pocket it would take me two days to get there leaving me 6 days to explore the scenery.

Cheers...

The Misses says the previous image is from Cottonwood Cove, South Coyote Buttes... (further review shows she is right...again. SHEESH! )

But here is one that IS from White Pocket.

pvstoy, how incredibly kind and generous. If only we could this time around, it cannot work for us. Thank you for the invitation.
 
Thinking about White Pocket over Memorial Day, watching the weather and not making a decision until the day before. If you head down early that could influence the decision.
 
 
Cayuse I have re-cert for cross cut saw on 25 and 26 and won't be able to leave until Monday the 27th. So can't leave earlier.

Sunman thanks for the link for the book. There is a current 6th version and added it to my cart. I don't have this book but have other books and maps, should compliment our sources.

Ski, thanks for the kind words.... who knows where I might end up. I was going to ask Sage to photo guide south east Oregon, but he is selling his rig.
 
Patrick, I will be in that area the first week of June, helping a friend, but can offer some thoughts on what to do/see. I will send you a PM.
 
Well I drove away from home on Monday and 10 hours later was in Kanab Utah. Tuesday morning arrived at the BLM office in kanab. It was drizzling rain and there were about 100 people that wanted 10 spots for the wave permit. Interesting to watch and listen to people. Some people just want a permit and really don't know or expect it takes to get there, especially on a muddy, slick clay road.

But I was there for the second lottery drawing for South Coyote Buttes. Much better odds. I was drawn and today photographed the morning until light was harsh. Got puffy clouds that could give rain later, but will go out for last few hours of light.

Tomorrow will be heading Over to White Pocket for a while June 4 or sooner.

Really surprised to have one to two bars of Verizon.
 
Gorgeous photo!

Yes, the roads can get interesting when they get wet. Someday I'd like to follow House Rock Valley Rd all the way through between 89 and 89A, maybe this fall...
 
Well last night the lighting did not approve just more clouds I left early. Drove over to white pocket and this morning it was socked in with clouds and drizzling of and on over night. I had about an hour with sunshine and grabed a few images and then the Sun gets eaten up by more clouds. And then some nasty dark clouds start moving in with booming of thunder, so I decide to go back to the truck to shower and eat lunch.

I am trying out a new phone Samsung S10 and learning the camera feature and here's a couple images.
