Hello all,
I am on a seven month trip through Latin America and decided to start a travel blog. It is still in its beginning stages, but I hope that you may enjoy some of the stories and pictures. ...

Thank you for your kind words. It was a fun trip. And yes, the harder/more intense stuff you do the harder it is to find people to do it with. My schedule is largely already full for this year...

Sorry, this is @ Moab Mark. Mind if I ask where the last photo was taken (the one with two waterfalls)?

Solo trip in the Grenadiers, Needle Mountains, Animas Basin etc.

I'm free those days but will have to see if any other plans come up. Still have several canyons in the area that I want to hit: high on my list are Not Mindbender and Larry, as well as other options...

Recently bought the new Panasonic TS-4. Pretty much the same as the old models, but supposed to have a new panorama feature. Haven't actually tried it out yet, though. Took it through Choprock (in...

My schedule has opened up for the next week and I really want to get out and do some canyoneering. Still many canyons in the North Wash that I want to do (Leps, Butlers, and more). Forecast looks...

Just came across this thread. How nice to see it and found a few new reading ideas.

Just started "Back from Tuichi: The Harrowing Life and Death Story of Survival in the Amazon Rain Forest"
...

Goblin's Lair was my idea!!! You're welcome! :)

Planning a trip to the Needles this spring and was wondering if anyone knew when the best time of day is to photograph the various arches. The only thing I've been able to find is that Druid is good...

Hey Penny, heard you were looking for me before. Was just cruising some of the old posts and came across this one. I'm not free the MLK weekend, but would definitely be down for some canyoneering...

Dean, actually I was referring to a guy from SLC that I was going to meet Nov 9-10. I'm still planning on being there tonight (Nov 9)- find my red car (CO plates) if anyone else will, too. ...

After checking with work and hearing from the other guy I was going to meet (who canceled), I'll now be there Nov 9-13. At least, I'm planning on being there the night of the 9th. Is anyone...

I wasn't real happy about it, but I actually had my 2WD Pontiac Vibe out at Chambers while we were there. Did the hill fine, but was dragging on all of the sage brush between the ruts. Heard there...

Really? Good to know. About as pleasant as going out to Chambers?

How about the Exum River?

Could try calling Backcountry or Mountaingear etc. I'm sure they would be interested.

Just got my days off adjusted. Will now be there Oct 27-30. Planning on mountain biking most of the weekend (I think), but could do some short canyons or hikes if there is interest.

I haven't used the 5.10s, but I agree they look bulky and ugly. :haha:

I am, however, a fan of the Exum Rivers. Happened to pick up a pair when I first started canyoneering. Good grip, nice...

Thanks for the info guys, especially Tom. Sounds fun, I'll have to check my options for what I can get to. Merry Piglet sounds like it would be a blast.

How hard are the potholes to...

Was wondering if anyone knows what the road conditions are like going toward the Forks of West Butler. Is 4x4 mandatory or can it be done carefully in a car (with moderate clearance)?

Also...

Not really sure where to put this thread, but here seems good.

Thinking of going to moab Oct 27-30 for:

Canyoneering - Dragonfly, U-Turn, Granary
Mtn Biking - Pipe Dream, Moab brand trails,...

My days off (right now) are Nov 6-10, so unless I get some more time off I'll only be there the first day. But I'm planning on being there right now.

Also, you might update the first page/post to...

If anyone checks this Thursday morning, I'm hoping to get to Granary Spring at 8-9 AM. I'm looking at doing NE Fork Twin Corral, swinging back to camp, and then maybe going to Horseshoe Canyon if...

Are people planning on doing a canyon Thursday morning or not until the afternoon? Like I think EvergreenDean said, I may not be able to be there until Th afternoon. Otherwise meeting at Granary...
