Cedar Mesa hiking and photography trip - anybody want to join me?

[HighPlainsPhotographer]

I'm planing a trip to the Cedar Mesa area for late February. I plan on spending 3 - 4 days, hiking, exploring and photographing ruins. My dates are somewhat flexible at this time but I will need to firm them up soon.

I will probably drive over from the Denver area on a Wednesday afternoon, hit a hotel for the first night in Moab. Visit Mesa Arch in Canyonlands at first light the next morning for some photography then head to Cedar Mesa. At this time I'm thinking about camping out of my truck in the Cedar Mesa area for the duration of my visit. I plan on visiting Moon House, Mule and Road Canyon's, The Citadel and whatever else strikes my fancy. I'm open to different ideas from anybody who might like to go.

I'm not an overly ambitious hiker, maybe 10 - 15 miles per day max.

Would anybody like to join me for a day or the entire trip?

I'm actually headed out there this weekend, otherwise I would love to join a fellow photographer/hiker. Possibly some other time.

Now I remember why I'm not a photographer.

But...like in a similar thread, you might have a buyer who will purchase a print for $1,000,000. Just saying...

If I get a $1,000,000 photo (uhh, yah right) I promise to share part of the loot with my hiking partner(s)

I am very tempted to try to make a couple of days available and come down and join you.. do you have any other details about where you are camping etc.. any dates that you are more inclined to go on etc..

I'm open for ideas on where to camp, other then passing through, I have not spent much time in this area. Just thinking out loud...maybe camping somewhere off of Co Rd 237/Snow Flats Rd. I was also thinking the Valley of the Gods area. I might be lame and get a motel in Blanding, but more then likely I will camp.

As far as a date, I'm leaning towards leaving the Denver area the afternoon of Weds 2/23, motel in Moab and then up to Canyonlands early 2/24 for my $1,000,000 photo. 2/24 through 2/27 (or so) on Cedar Mesa.
