On Monday we hiked Pleasant Creek. I have wanted to hike the canyon for a long time and wanted to show the gang the petroglyphs at the top of the canyon. I think I’ve posted images of them on the blog before, and they’re pretty nice. Couldn’t find them this time. I didn’t spend a [...]

Went to a few new places today. One was not really new, I’d been there before about 30 years ago. Long story: buy me a beer and I’ll tell you. Hog Springs is a small rest area between Lake Powell and Hanksville. Just to the south of the rest area is a very nice Barrier-style [...]

Albert took us into the back country, a place visitors don’t usually get to go without a guide. Well, Albert lives in the Valley, so he was just taking some friends to see his home. We visited Susie Yazzie, who, at 96, still cards wool and spins it into yarn, saw some interesting sights and [...]

Well, it was a day to remember. Lots of stupid stuff happened, but some good to offset it. I decided to go to the Procession Panel today. I had it in my mind to do a panorama of the whole glyph. That is, take three or four images and merge them together. I haven’t seen [...]

Went to Cold Spring Ruin today. I wanted to be sure Nick got to see it and, of course, I don’t mind seeing great places like that. Imagine my amaze when I started seeing pictographs and petroglyphs in a place I thought I had photographed thoroughly and had see it all. Turns out I was [...]

Well, it didn’t fall, that would have hurt. But I finally got to see the Procession Panel. Our intrepid group of gawkers headed up the very same canyon I’ve gone up three times before. This time we had a book that gave route information. It was a little better than the books I had earlier [...]

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time and finally got to Monument Valley. We took a day-long trip through both Monument Valley and Mystery Valley. Mystery Valley is only accessible to non-Navajo people with a guide. We had a great guide, Don, who had a good sense of humor was courteous and [...]

I’ve disappeared from blogging for a while. As I understand it, I have just gotten over the worst sinus infection that any human being has ever survived. At least that’s what I think I heard from the PA who looked at my ears, nose and throat and started laughing. Or maybe it was from me. [...]
