So, how are conditions in different canyons in Utah lately? I know y'all have been getting out there. Heaps? Imlay? The Baker slots? Cedar Mesa? Capitol Reef?


Also, does anyone want to get out to any of these areas this weekend?


Thanks in advance.

Just got back from Escalante, did Neon without a wetsuit. There was some water, but the deepest it got was waist deep, the big pothole was bone dry.

Did Mission to Mars today in Escalante. The big pothole,usually a swim, was only belly-button deep. Kayd and I went in, and were able to set up a tyrollean for everyone else.

How did you get out?

I stemmed over it, and hauled out the other two in my party. It was deep enough that one of them standing on the others shoulders still needed a little extra from me to get out.

I haven't heard of Mission to Mars? Can I ask some details? Haha

Long approach, especially on foot.

No more hints, eh? Is it close to Temple of Doom? Similar names.

Elon Musk is on the exploration team...

Some say the potholes will be full of water, but I have my doubts...
