What day were you on Long Canyon? We ended up coming through there Friday night after a day on the White Rim Trail.
Our weekend: We ended up running the White Rim Trail & Long Canyon on Friday, then over the Abajo Mtns and into Montezuma Creek (southeast of Monticello) for camp Friday night. Finished the drive south and then spent the afternoon at Hovenweep, down through Arizona to Four Corners and Shiprock (new mexico) for lunch, back to Monticello on Rt 666 and then camped out on the edge of the mesa overlooking the Green near Spring Canyon (Hey Joe Canyon). Woke up this morning and made our way back out to 191, spent some time in the Swell on the way home via Black Dragon Wash and up Buckhorn to Huntington. A ton of driving (over 1100 miles and nearly 400 of that in the dirt) but an amazing trip and the rigs help up!

The trail to eye in the whale can be done by a SUV, it has a few difficult spots but not to bad. You have to go in from the salt wash road since the best part of the trail washed out and the park service so nicely just closed it instead of fixing it. It's amazing what they can get away with without public input. It's really not worth the drive out there as far as jeeping unless you just want to see the arch. When you could make the loop it was a fun jeep trail but no more. I have heard just hiking to the arch on the hiking trail is pretty good?
Yea it was pretty packed over the weekend.

Pucker Pass That is one of the finer names out there. I take it that ain't the kissing type pucker they are referring to?
