Reminds me of the Maze Overlook until the edge. Beautiful.

California has damn near everything. But it doesn't have southern Utah. I wish I could live in both places.

Good stuff. Where could I go?

What mountains are we looking at?

Thank you for sharing. The pics were great. I visited Fern Canyon decades ago. It was guided tour only back then. I wonder why that changed.

Lockdown has been tough but I was starting to believe that I was missing a couple of weeks. I did that trip from the Green River put-in to Mineral in 1978. It was July and we saw maybe 3 other people the whole time and they had motors.

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful pics. Am I the only one who wonders what 10-17-20 means?

Thank you for sharing. I did that in 1979 with two other people and 2 6 man rafts. One raft was loaded with enough beer and food to supply a platoon for two days. It was a beautiful float. EDIT: it was 1978. 1979 we went from Mineral Bottom to Hite marina with Holiday Tours. $295 for 5 nights...

I grew up in Wyandotte. If I had 3 days off I headed to the UP. Brevort, Eppoufette, Cut River, and such. I swam in the big lake at Whitefish Point in June 1973. Once was enough for me. If I had 2 weeks off I headed west. 1976 found me living in Flat Rock, MI. I found a book in the library...

"This book had nothing to do with the title. It should be called "Self-Flagellation in the Mud Bogs of America's Greatest National Park." But it was a great read anyway." Somewhat like Trout Fishing In America by Richard Brautigan. It had little to do with trout fishing.

Welcome. I now know the meaning of GYE. Today is a success.

What is the reason for the long, narrow clearing?

Beautiful. Where do you call home now?

Beautiful place and pictures. Thank you for sharing. I miss the U.P. Did you get a chance to swim in the big water?

I'll go first. Michigan?

That was special. I haven't been there in almost 50 years but when I saw your pic of the Appalachian Trail sign I could actually smell it. Such a special place.

It's along a road that heads south out of Bodie. You come up on a little ridge covered in oak brush. You leave the road on a two track heading west for a few hundred yards. You can sit up there and witness sunset and sunrise on Bodie. In the morning we hiked into Bodie and got back late afternoon.

Beautiful pics. Thank you for sharing. BTW, Bodie is also worth seeing. There's a great camping spot that is in some brush on a hill about 15-20 minute walk from the main entrance.

Needles Overlook. One of my favorite campsites for storm watching in the summer.

I suppose a good motto would be 'when you see a placid river, realize that it started somewhere probably not placid'.
