@ramblinghemlock used a cotton bandanna pee rag re @ramblinghemlock used a cotton bandanna pee rag regularly since 2010 in environments as diverse as the desert of the Colorado Plateau to hikes in the Smokies. ... This past year she started using the well-known and popular @kulacloth favored by many backpackers. ... Here are Joan’s thoughts on contrasting the Kula Cloth to the humble bandanna EDIT: For the curious, we added a link to a $10 MYOG kit (with 100 fasteners) that requires no sewing! ... 🥾More thoughts via link in profile.⛺ ... #hiking #backpackpacking #camping #LNT

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
@ramblinghemlock and I went to the Weminuche Wilde @ramblinghemlock and I went to the Weminuche Wilderness in the San Juan Mountains.  Though still summer in our desert home, autumn’s arrived in the alpine terrain. The ground cover’s russet, you can hear the elks bugle, and there’s a nip to the night air. … With no 14ers or prominent alpine lakes, we had this stretch mainly to ourselves. Just how we like it! ... #colorado #sanjuans #sanjuansmountains #continentaldividetrail #Weminuche #hiking #backpacking #camping

@ramblinghemlock and I started a volunteer role as @ramblinghemlock and I started a volunteer role as a Utah cultural site stewards ( @ut_shpo ) at @fremontindianstateparkmuseum. What does this mean? Joan and I perform monitoring, make notes about site conditions, outreach, and give information about the sites we assist in overlooking. … The state park is just off I70, has camping, and makes an excellent stopover point on your way to and from other areas in Utah. The park itself is along a vital travel corridor both now and in the past. Additionally, the park had a significant settlement of the Fremont people ~700 years ago and later formed an important place for the Paiute, Shoshone, and Ute. In the 19th century, traders and settlers came through. … Pictured here is the well-known and easily accessed “Cave of 100 Hands” that features petroglyphs and pictographs created by the Fremont. And one of the sites we’ll monitor. .. #utah #fremont #fremontindianpark #petrogylphs #pictographs
A Pando-rific Weekend … @ramblinghemlock and I s A Pando-rific Weekend … @ramblinghemlock and I started a volunteer role at @fremontindianstateparkmuseum this past weekend (more to come on a future post) and took the opportunity to explore more of the nearby area. … And that meant hiking and camping at Fish Lake. At nearly 9,000 feet in elevation and six miles long and one-mile wide, this natural lake (the largest in Utah) makes for a unique and historical landscape. The Paiute long inhabited this area, along with forming a significant trading route along the historic Spanish Trail. And a place we want to see more. .. Among the highlights of this area include Pando - an aspen clone considered by many to be among the oldest and largest living organisms in the world. And we camped within sight of it all weekend. .. I have a feeling the Fish Lake area will become a frequent stomping ground for Joan and me. … #hiking #camping #Utah #FishLake #Pando #spanishtrail #greatwesterntrail
