Although I also love reading about Abbey wandering on foot through really flat desolate deserts, a bit like the ones you left behind in SoCal. My favorite thing is wandering somewhere and finding myself somewhere familiar, as you did coming to the arch. It always surprises me that I am as close to something known that I had no clue was nearby. Had that happen a few times as a field scientist...wandering for miles, thinking I was totally lost (in the days before GPS) and coming out 20 feet from my truck. I was blessed by 35 years of working mostly alone in the wild lands of the west. Lucky me, SCS and NRCS in the days before they thought people should map soils in pairs. We worked in solitude. You make me remember those solitary days.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-46330556029559326362016-03-28T21:17:06.763-06:002016-03-28T21:17:06.763-06:00find it amazing how much Abbey was influenced by B...find it amazing how much Abbey was influenced by Bcb!!! as we all are--- have you made it to Ft Liatikcuf ?? care on reading backwards-- great blog and pictures! finally----Walden Creek Rv steveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-2062634629835712282016-03-28T20:27:11.919-06:002016-03-28T20:27:11.919-06:00Just getting home to Indiana after spending the mo...Just getting home to Indiana after spending the month of March in sunny warm Florida. I enjoyed the beach walks, swimming in the ocean and the lush greenery of Florida in March. But, I would much rather climb and hike in the beauty of Utah's red rocks as your pictures show. Not much elevation change in Florida hiking.John Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898180689507479092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-58542770139197978782016-03-28T19:40:38.552-06:002016-03-28T19:40:38.552-06:00Ahhhhhhhh...perfection.Ahhhhhhhh...perfection.Metamorphosis Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07637866156639686101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-18198131862608170162016-03-28T19:15:17.594-06:002016-03-28T19:15:17.594-06:00Nothing quite compares to Utah rocks!
