Mussentuchit-Last Chance Loop
A friend wanted to check out a Butch Cassidy signature near Willow Springs Wash last week and invited me to tag along. It had been raining in Price (where I live) all week, and snowing in Sigurd (where my friend lives) all week, so we were surprised when we met at the junction of I-70 and UT-10 to find that conditions were sunny and dry. It sure didn't feel like it was almost Christmas. We were even riding without our coats for part of the day! We ended up doing a loop south across Mussentuchit Flat, then west along Last Chance Wash and back north to where we started.

The Butch Cassidy inscription was pretty interesting--it was spelled "Butch Casady," which is supposed to be an alias of his. I'm still uncertain whether it's authentic, but it at least looked pretty old. We checked out some rock art in Mussentuchit Wash, rode on the Mussentuchit sand dune, and just basically did some enjoyable sightseeing for most of the ride.
