    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.

    Album Deserts

    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.

    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.

    Paintbrush Canyon / Cascade Canyon Loop -- Grand Teton NP September 11, 2023

    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...

    Guess the spot: Utah Edition

    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?

    Guess the spot: Utah Edition

    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.

    Adirondacks, NY, part 3 of 5, 10/8-10/9, 2022

    I like the aside for the mud description as well. Having spent some years in Quebec, I believe the myths about the Quebecoise are correct.

    Rescue Blanket as Multitool?

    Also worth noting from the end of the video that if you are wrapped in a rescue blanket at night, a drone with thermal might not see your body heat... Interesting to use it as a sling, or as a really flashy piece of additional clothing! In winter, I like using one as the ground cover in my...

    To Do in 2024

    I am up for hiking, hiking rehab, any of those... so that sounds perfect. As for my 2024, -There are always two goals to get me out: at least 1 night sleeping outside every month, and at least 31 bag nights Including: -More consistent hiking this year, I need to get back into short, during the...

    New Year's morning saw a 530am wakeup call and starting the year on Mount Olympus. @scatman some mahogany for you. Not as bad as some years, but the inversion smog cut into the views. The day ended with fried wontons, egg flower soup, and chicken bulgogi - all homemade.

    Fiftymile Mountain rim and ruins tour: 13 May 2023

    Really cool report. I have had this marked, but never made the drive and hike up there. I just might have to for an overnight next time I am in the area with "free time" or at least unplanned time! The photos and writeup are sweet.

    What's Cooking?

    We did sugar cookies too, but I need to get a bison and a bear. We had a moose, but the legs usually broke, so it got relegated. There was 25 of us related siblings and kids and such together for Christmas Eve. A bit of a madhouse. My dad gets excited to cook only a few times a year, and one of...

    Album Deserts

    Once you see the patterns or find the therapod tracks, you can see there are quite a few. They are not as distinct as the tracks in some other places, like this one over by Moab. (after a rain storm)
