No, I haven't done it yet, dog issues of course.

I think I need a boat!

No, I was wearing my Backcountrypost t-shirt and your wife recognized it and asked if I knew you, I did know your name and your pictures but not the dogs.

I met Merlin on Sand Creek this afternoon (oh yeah, your wife was there too) Stupidly I didn't think to take a picture!

Sorry to tell you this but Boulder Mountain on 12 has pretty much peaked and even has snow at the higher altitudes, it happened early this year. There are a few trees that haven't turned at all which might give you some late colour.

Sorry, my sister is visiting so I haven't been online or in the Torrey area. I don't know the road conditions after the last round of storms. My next tour is scheduled for the 9th, hope the roads are good by then!

I've only actually constructed one video, I've taken others and posted them verbatim but here is my creative work, not the greatest but it's mine!

My dog Biff ran off with one of my boots on a hike...

Does the SD card work well with the S5? I've had three S4s now (oops) and all of them had SD card problems with various brands of card, I've given up on them.

My Samsung S4 seems to have a very accurate GPS, I use it every day to track my walks and it's usually right on. It isn't triangulating because we only have one cell phone tower in this area.

Since it is a phone thread what did you use?

There's no question that a dSLR will take better pictures than a phone and most P&S cameras will too, but for me the phone has a few advantages. It's small, I almost always have it in my pocket and when I have signal (surprisingly often given where I live right next to Capitol Reef) I can share...

That 400' down and then up again to Mt Ellen is daunting when you are out of shape. I decided not to climb back up on the way back from Mt Ellen and instead skirted round the west side trying to get back to the path - don't do it! I was forced further and further down the side of the mountain...

Lots of talk about dogs liking water but not swimming, Biff (3 years old) was the same way until this day. Janet held him by the handle on the float vest and gently led him out of his depth. He tried to swim back to shore but she just held him in place. Biff in Navajo Lake, 25th July 2014 (1)...

I live at 7000 feet, what really pisses me off is that I'm not Superman at the beach!

3/21 - 3/24: 4 nights, Tikaboo Valley, Nevada. Counting and measuring Joshua Trees. 6/14: 1 night, Woodruff Narrows Reservoir, Wyoming (though I had no idea at the time!) 6/15: 1 night, somewhere in Idaho (I just stopped) 6/16 - 6/18: 3 nights, Moscow, Idaho 6/19: 1 night, somewhere in Idaho...

No, not at all, maybe my reaction is due to something else.
