It is now called Hunt & Gather. They have a wide variety of meals, many people here enjoy it. Bought by new owners a year or two ago. My favorite restaurant over in Garfield County is Hell's Backbone, I consider it really delicious. Escalante Outfitters is nice too. Kiva Coffeehouse is also...

We totally got that amount. Easily over a foot, and there was much more closer to the mountains. In Teasdale, which is close to the Boulder, there was more like two feet when I went over there on Saturday. It's all melting down very fast now since it's been warming up, but there still is snow...

We got a big amount of snow in Wayne County yesterday (specifically in Torrey and around that general area). More snow than we'd gotten all winter. I believe it was around 14", from what some friends posted. I don't think we'd gotten that much at once for about five years or more. Really great...

Still mostly very dry down here in southern Utah. We have gotten some snow, and holy moly it is definitely c-c-c-cold right now, but it's just mostly very danged dry. There is some snow on the Henrys and the Boulder, but when you face north toward Thousand Lake and all the redrock cliffs...

Not a super bad year for me either, although I'm definitely looking forward to 2021 and hoping that will be a much better year eventually. Since I already live in the beautiful, remote middle of nowhere, it's been mostly easy to stay safe and healthy out here. So that's been good. The tourism...

Absolutely sending you and especially your wife all the healing thoughts. Hope she fully recovers as soon as possible.

Blargh. Some people are just so very extremely annoying when out on the beautiful public lands. :(

Yep, it totally should. During the spring/summer/fall season here around Torrey, I often find toilet paper and other disgusting literal crap on the ground in areas where a lot of people camp or park their RVs. Pisses me off every single time. If I happen to have a plastic bag with me I'll pick...

Yep! You're up, @Henk.

This lovely arch should be well known by some folks. Which one is it?

Bloody Hands Gap.

Agree with everything you said, and I especially want the above part to happen. I also really want the courts to rule that no US president can ever reduce monuments. On the Biden website, it does say this, which I most certainly hope will be true: Protect natural and cultural treasures. As...

I love the Boulder Top (as locals around here often call it). Parts of it actually do get a fair amount of visitors in the summer, but yes, many parts of it are totally absent of humans most of the time. I love that there aren't many folks up there. Great photos, and I'm glad you went up there...

Tourism has just skyrocketed in the area very recently. Like all over southern Utah. It's been busier in the past month than in the same timeframes during the last several years. Kinda nuts. Spring was dead quiet due to shutdown, and this fall has totally exploded with folks visiting. People...

Really beautiful photos!

It's impressive he survived. Since yesterday I've watched the video about 5 times. I think it's an extremely educational one on how to deal with such a situation (that will never happen to 99.99% of people, but hey, being prepared for a potential similar situation is still a good thing). I've...

The view from just south of Roundup Flat up on Boulder Mountain (Utah) yesterday, looking south/southeast over GSENM. It’s usually so clear you can see into Arizona. Dreadful, though we’re lucky we have no fires here right now. (Knocks wood hard so we don’t get any...)

There are still plenty of places to camp around the general area where others will not be. The majority of the cars, RVs, campers, and tents are quite visible from the highway. Just gotta scoot a ways down some of the roads where people don't usually go, and there are plenty of empty spots to...

It's crowded in Torrey. People are camped alllll over the place, especially since the main CapReef campground is still closed. And someone killed a marmot in the park yesterday when driving down the road. :( Anyway, the amount of people is typical for this holiday weekend, but it just feels like...

Very true about summer being the traditional monsoon season, as opposed to spring. I am wondering, however, if this spring might be a little off kilter from normal. Weathers patterns are changing in lots of places. Our monsoons down here where I am in southern Utah last summer were incredibly...
