Nope, but I could be convinced. Right now, one would have to deal with the snow... hahaha

I am a winter desert person, but bugs and busy all depend on the location, weather and the year. Gnats, noseeums and flies can be a pest. I did have snow one Memorial Day, a few inches on Boulder Mtn and big flakes in Torrey. Bug pressure varies wildly depending on location. All the bugs are...

I did not want to interrupt all the banter about @scatman bikini, not being old, and all of that fun, but I could not find the Micro Trip report thread that I remember, or maybe falsely remember having. So I will interject fast, and then back to the regularly scheduled banter @Rockskipper ---...

From his job description on his defunct webpage: Chef Ugly is usually good to go with just good campsites, good food, and good company. He rarely charges, unless there are outrageous requests or you want to tip him bc he does an Onion Train or flips shrimp into your mouth. He does also really...

This also reminds me, there was some good food had in SE Utah what was now a few weeks ago: Some golden curry in the Needles... and plenty of Easter candy, like Peeps and cadbury eggs. Clamatoes and homemade chili with dogs... Those might be circus peanuts in the background of the pic too...

Last night, I made enough souvlaki for a whole week... It will give my wife something to eat with salad while I work events the next four nights in a row. A week or so ago there were some peach bourbon babyback ribs. I was not patient enough and only got these to 197d... some were perfect...

Some phone photos from last week. I might have shared this one last time I came across it. A few interesting shapes. This is looking at CP4. Tumbleweed sadness throughout Chesler. CP3 and CP4 have the brunt of it, buried. This was Chesler four or five winters ago. Before drought and...

Much of Cedar Mesa saw rain and snow last week 3/17-3/24. There was water everywhere, but that can change quickly with some sunny days. There were some cedar gnats starting to come out when it was warm. Barely an annoyance to what they are later. The cottonwoods were starting to leaf out by Hite...

Nice to hear from you Perry. Bell is a fun explore when you are up away from everyone or anywhere past where people stop at the waterfall. I imagine the ridge gets spicy as you hit the Bells- that portion is just out of sight over/behind the ridge in your second to last photo. I am def...

It was not initially by choice. I just washed my bag and it was drying. I heard a noise and went downstairs, and discovered she had taken up residence :roflmao: Luckily we also just clipped back her claws.

Snow and Slicrock and stuff. Home for the night. No stars, only clouds. At night there was an owl, during the day there were some canyon wrens with their calls that sound like they are running out of gusto or battery power by the end.

Miniatures:

The dilated eyes tell you she is up to something, or that she has lost all control of her few brain cells. This time she is claiming the sleeping bag as her own.

Great loop and great trip report! That is a good long day. I also feel fall colors were a couple weeks later last year. I think Cody's orange shirt color is a good color for blending in with the fall foliage, when it is changing. Those obstinate moose I think are keeping daily score through...

We jumped over @Kullaberg63 with a new clue here... But maybe he is out braving the oncoming blizzard doing a quite respectable route in the desert or the Rockies?

Yessir! @Kullaberg63 that was fast!

Ladders is also good. Alright... Here is one. Not in Escalante. This string of peaks have a name. What are they? or where am I?

@desertvic welcome to BCP. Spencer Canyon. I stayed the night last spring just up and to the right of your photo. Did you venture down into the canyon?

Finally a little winter. Some snow with earth shadow and a little friend: Some snow with some mountain mahogany:

Love the fall colors in these reports, and the great writeup. I am glad you shared.
