Have you had bad luck with non-Canon spares Randy? I've had mixed results. Back when I was making videos with Canon video gear, none of the many non-Canon batteries I tried were very good. They just wouldn't last very long before they would no longer hold a charge as long as they should...

Sunday morning I was up and the Jeep was rolling towards home by 6:30am. I headed out via Tippett and Ibapah, taking the road through the Goshute res just because I was feeling so good. Totally uneventful trip home, nothing more to report. - DAA

Been to Blue Mass quite a few times before, just a very pretty area to hang out for an evening. Bunch of pics from the area and camp on this the last night of the trip. - DAA

For lunch, I stopped in at Barbara Mumm’s bed and breakfast, where she made me an enormous cheeseburger on the grill and fed me all the farm fresh deviled eggs, potato salad and fixings I could stuff down my gullet. Good stuff! Then I took advantage of the very reasonably priced gasoline to...

The next morning I headed back down and then over and up again to check out Trout Creek canyon. Tons of cool stuff around there. Too much to list of show pictures of it all. But here’s some of it. Then it was time to head back down towards the town of Trout Creek for...

My thought was to drive all the way to the top of the new route and spend the night at Camp Ethel. But, it’s not to be. Not yet. Only about 1.5 miles from the old barricade, is this one: Still about another mile and a half short of Camp Ethel. You can see the downed timber behind the...

From there, it was a long steep hike back to the Jeep. Then a rough drive back down to the main road, where I stopped in some shade at the Callao CCC campground for lunch. After lunch I headed up Indian Farm Creek canyon just for grins. It’s stupendously rough and beautiful, with plenty of...

You can only go about another 1.5 miles after the old gate, but it sure is a pretty 1.5 miles! The whole canyon is just fantastic. Tom’s was one of the highpoints of the whole trip and the canyon I’d pick to camp in again if I had to choose from all I visited on this trip. From the top of...

Then it was south past Callao and west again along Tom’s creek up Tom’s canyon. Callao is in the distance below in this pic. Tom’s canyon is an absolute gem! The road has just enough steepness and obstacles to make a short wheelbase and low range welcome and to make you pay attention to...

The seed for this trip was planted in my mind last August. When I read that a legal settlement had resulted in the re-opening of several historic routes in the Deep Creek mountains. A snippet of the press release: “Under the settlement announced Monday by officials for Utah and Juab County and...

Someone else will have to name them properly. Jared has told me the name of them, more than once, but I've forgotten (again...). I'm going with PPF's for now. From Blue Mass, in the Kern mountains, Nevada, last weekend. - DAA

Love the La Sals. - DAA

My first attempts at bokeh panoramas with a Samyang 85 f/1.4 that I picked up used last week. - DAA

Nice. It's been years and years since I was out on Starvation, but it used to be a very regular haunt way back in the day. I've got some acreage just a few minutes from there. - DAA

An old Goshute woman that lives by herself in a cave in the Deep Creeks makes them for me :D. - DAA

Yawns are contagious! Couple non-yawners too... - DAA

Quote as I was snapping the pic and asking for an autograph: "Most people only remember my role in Caddyshack and not any of my other films." - DAA

Way cool!!!! Love seeing long tails. - DAA

I leave my heavy camera gear home so I can carry all my whiskey and cigars. Which on most trips, starting out, weigh more than my tent. They don't weigh near as much by the time I get off the trail though :). - DAA
