A reunion and a backcountry wedding reception ... A reunion and a backcountry wedding reception ... Our good friends Mark and Judy returned from three+ years in the UK. They’ve been catching up with friends, seeing places they missed and reacquainting themselves with the American West. …. @ramblinghemlock and I grabbed a camping spot near the Needles district and took off hiking for the day. Soon a friend of theirs joined Joan and me that evening, with Mark showing up at night. … The three of us went to The Confluence saw what I think iis one of the most storied sites in the American West. It is where the Green and Upper Colorado (Grand) Rivers join and form one of the most important rivers basins in the world for historical, cultural, and economic reasons. … After this hike, we made it back to our site, and Judy joined us and surprised Joan and me with an impromptu backcountry wedding reception with cake and champagne! … The following day we showed a well-known backcountry panel and Newspaper Rock off the paved road. An excellent weekend to reacquaint with friends! … #hiking #camping #petrogylphs #pictrographs #Utah #Moab #CanyonlandsNationalPark #canyonlands #ColoradoPlateau #TheNeedles Ph# 8 c/o mark and ph# 9 c/o judy

Usually with links for expensive gear modeled by photogenic people doing things I am not nearly cool enough to do and then rhapsodizing about in a way that sounds like a cross between a Zen monk and the latest Banff Film Festival entry.

After our time in the San Juans, we went to the ed After our time in the San Juans, we went to the edge of the Colorado Plateau to Chimney Rock National Monument. This Ancestral Pueblo settlement perches on a prominent overlook with rock formations that line up with an 18.5-year lunar cycle. … Located at the edge of the mountains and the Colorado Plateau, this area also served to trade with various goods found onsite. Most prominently, Chimney Rock is in direct alignment with Chaco Canyon ninety miles away, with possible signal fires getting seen across the distance between these two points. The Pueblo founded other settlements in the area. … I last went there just after Chimney Rock became a national monument but glad to return as there’s always more to see, and it is a place where Joan’s never visited. We both enjoyed seeing Chimney Rock while in the area. .. #colorado #sanjuans #sanjuansmountains #ChimneyRock #ChimneyRockNationalMonument #archeoastronomy #ColoradoPlateau #AncestralPueblo
