What Next

I’m trying to decide whether to stay in Moab another day or two, or head elsewhere. Plenty of options exist from here. I still think I’ll head south as I haven’t been down there in years, maybe do some hiking in the Needles on the way. I just need to get out on a trail [...]

Sunset in Arches National Park

Corona Arch

Corona Arch, Moab, Utah.

Love it or hate it?

Seriously.. I can’t decide if I like the idea or absolutely hate it (though I’m presently using it). Nearly every commercial campsite I’ve seen lately has free wifi. It’s about to the point where wifi is more readily available than mobile coverage.

Grand Staircase Escalante

This place was incredible. I didn’t really plan on staying there, but I’m glad I did.

My plans for some camping in Goblin Valley were shot due to heavy rains and a [...]

Road Trip 2011

I’m having a blast. Granted, the weather and crowds have been rather unexpectedly unpleasant when encountered, yet the lull between those makes it all worthwhile.

Road Trip 2011

Heading out for a few weeks or so. Here’s the run down. Subject to change!

Work, work.

Work’s been interesting lately.. Laser tag, go carts, hiking, baseball games, paintball. There’s been a lot of annoying and ridiculous briefings and lectures mixed in, but all in all the whole post-deployment down time has been fairly nice. Paintball was a lot of fun and I think I may have to invest in some gear for [...]
