[Ben]

How about this view, and these from the surrounding area, same canyon:

I don't care what any one else says, that is beautiful.

 

[Artemus]

Could it be Dark Canyon?

 

[Ugly]

Could it be Dark Canyon?

That is the area yes... is it too much to say it is one of the tributaries?

 

[Artemus]

No it is not too much.

Are you asking for a better guess?

Woodenshoe...

 

[Ugly]

No it is not too much.

Woodenshoe...

Yes, and YES!...
Woodenshoe it is.

 

[Artemus]

Yes, and YES!...
Woodenshoe it is.

Well obviously I walked right by this baby. A couple of times...

 

[Artemus]

Next one.

 

[Rockskipper]

Down by where Black Dragon ends.

 

[Artemus]

Down by Mexican Mtn?

Yes, but a wee bit more precision please?

 

[Rockskipper]

Whoops, I was too slow on the edit. See above.

 

[Rockskipper]

Or maybe I should say starts. Or maybe I should try saying nothing for once.

 

[Artemus]

Down by where Black Dragon ends.

Indeed, close enough. I will give it to you but could you help me find the wreck on satellite view?

I think I shot this in 2003 on the approach hike to the Lower Black box hike/swim near Swazey's leap. Dennis, you know where it is, right?

 

[Rockskipper]

I actually wasn't that close, all I knew was that it was on the Mexican Mtn road, but I got myself all muddled and thought it was somewhere around the head of Black Dragon which isn't even that close. So, you should post another one.

I can't post anyway, as I'm on my iPad with no photos, so why am I doing this in the first place, you ask. I guess just cause it's fun to see how close you get, even if you're not close. But I'm still going to try to find it, now that I know where it is. And if that makes sense to you, you're in trouble.

Well, the Mexican Mountain road is on the other side of the mountain. The north side. This is on the southeast side. That butte on the left side of the picture is the shoulder or Mexican Mountain.

 

[Rockskipper]

You mean I was close and didn't even know it? No wonder I can't find it on the map. Did you come in from the Jackass Flats side? I originally thought it was the SE side, then decided it was too low.

Came in on the standard approach from I70 to the south.

 

[Rockskipper]

OK, that's the side I originally thought. You start at the exit that goes down to Temple Mtn if you go the other direction. But go ahead and post another. If you make it a lake in the Uintas I'll never figure it out.

 

[Artemus]

OK Skipper, I am going to watch you closer this time.

 

[Rockskipper]

Great photo! Someplace south of the Uintas.

Those look like Joshua Trees
