Looks beautiful! Sometimes I get the cranky, is it gonna be worth it feeling at the start of the trip too. I have never, every regretted getting out. Glad you had an awesome time.

Love the plant photos!

Has anyone been following this? What do you guys think? I know where I live in Utah, the debates over land between different user groups (especially oil/gas exploration v. conservationists) is super contentious. It will be interesting to see how everything pans out...

This is partly to get suggestions, and partly to commit to doing a trip report for it. One of my best friends is coming to visit, arriving Wednesday or Thursday of this coming week. We're hanging out locally for the weekend, and then hitting the road! I'm even taking a week off work! Rough...

Fancy!

It worked!!!!

I don't know how to embed, so apologies if this goes wonky...the first part of this is good as well.

Looks awesome! Bummer about the permits filling up though; I have a friend who is coming to town in a few weeks and was hoping that Salt Creek would make the feasibility list for us. Looks like not so much :-/

Highly recommend Timothy Egan's book by the same name!

Not me, but a friend brought Koob sticks on a backpacking trip (for reference: http://www.playkoob.com/). The rest of us were like...gosh where in these woods can we ever find hunks of wood to play with???

I see naked hikers at a far higher rate than one would expect, actually. If you're wondering about reaction, mine is usually "oh hey!" followed by some giggles after we pass, followed by not thinking much about it. The last time, I came across a couple. The woman was wearing binoculars around...

Awesome! I used to live around that area but never made it out to the ice caves. Good on ya'.

I just saw that today! So great.

My solution for sleeping bag/sleeping pad, stored hanging (I have an Air Core too): My sleeping bag has two hang-loops at the foot. I put two picture hangers into my wall, up near the ceiling, spaced as far apart as the hang loops. Put the loops on the hooks, done. For the pad, I took some...

Seconding toe socks under regular socks. Injinji (spelling?) makes pretty light liner socks.

I feel like I've researched myself into a circle on this one. I'm in the market for a warmer-weather, down sleeping bag that is decently light and very compressible (space saving is my main priority, this will basically be for two-season bikepacking and backpacking in the desert). I already...

...and, riding at home with bonus self-appearance. Not a great phone photo, unfortunately.

Somewhere off I70 outside of Green River.

I hope so! Feel like I'm coming out of a winter adventure slump.

Hello from SE Utah! I backpack. I bikepack. I play outside. Y'all seem like a similarly-minded, decent group of folks. I get out a fair amount, but I don't feel like I'm making the most of all the time I have. Figured hanging out here would help me get inspired to get out there even more.
