Rick,

I have been looking at my pictures from Blanding and I have come to the conclusion that I did not take enough pictures. I only took about 40 pictures down there. I know you took a couple of hundred plus video. Any chance at you posting more of them?

Cool! Nice shot of Jack driving across the parking lot. Where was that lilarch? I don't remember seeing that.

I took the shot from the same place I took the shot of Paul sitting on the ledge. It was very close to the gnarly part of the Oh sh*t trail.

Paul -
If my memory serves correctly, that arch was only about three feet tall. It was at the turn-around point for Hotel Rock.
About photos of the run in general - - I agree. I took too few for such a great trip!
You up for Colorado? Best way to improve our abysmal photographic performance is to keep on going to Explorer Runs until we get it right !!

Hope to see you in October.

My problem was just the opposite I took so many shots between, digital, 35mm, and video, it has become an editing nightmare.

Right now Colorado does not seem like it is going to happen. Who knows things may change. With Arch Canyon and Victoria(Island Rock Crawl) only one month apart the road miles are starting to get to me. I think it is finally time for me to find some local trails.

I have just finished my write up on this trip. You can see it on my web page at http://www.geocities.com/Baja/Canyon/8253/archcanyon.html

Nice trip report Paul. I linked to your write up from the Arch Canyon page. http://www.4x4central.com/arch.html

That was a nice trip report. Unfortunately, it with the great pics just makes me want to go back there, do it all again, and search out some new stuff (Beef Basin?... Where we turned south to Hotel Rock, it's a north turn. It's three days through Canyonlands).

I sure hope you can make more runs down here. It's not all that hard for us to try to learn to speak Canadian and you've got an awesome truck.

When you hosting the "All Explorer Northern Rockies Run" in Alberta?

Rick,

Thanks for the link. I have to go back in there and correct some spelling mistakes so I will link back to your trip report when I do.

Jack,

Three days in Canyonlands? Where do I sign up. I would love to do that trip but it doesn't seem possible right now. Work is very busy and I will be all alone here for July because almost everybody is going on training courses. Also it is a bloody long drive.


I'm sure you can learn to speak Canadian Eh? but spelling Canadian is probably harder. I know for sure that I can't spell American y'all(well I can but it bugs me) but I can speak it pretty good if I put my mind to it.


If I can ever get out on the trails I will find somewhere to have a Canadian Rockies run. I have an idea about the Rocky Mountain House area but I have yet to see the trails out there. It might not be 'till next year but I am pretty sure it will happen.
