@ramblinghemlock and I another weekend camped out. @ramblinghemlock and I another weekend camped out. The warm weather did cause some concern in December but admittedly made for some pleasant days and temperate nights. … A quick camp on a Friday, some hiking on Saturday, and then spending the night in Cortez with the following day hiking with them made for a mix of the isolated camps Joan and I prefer and enjoy the company of friends who share the love for this area. …. #Colorado #hiking #camping #petroglyphs #FourCorners #Canyonsoftheancients
The ever cool @ramblinghemlock #Repost @ut_shpo . The ever cool @ramblinghemlock #Repost @ut_shpo ... Pictured here is UCSS Steward Joan West. She is monitoring an incredible site on land managed by our partners the @utahsitla (Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA)) near Moab Utah. ⠀ ⠀ Despite some significant natural and human caused damage in the past this site is in amazing shape and a well known stop along the extensive trail systems around Moab. ⠀ ⠀ Local communities play a big role in the preservation of Utah Archaeology. This site is an excellent example of cultural resources being monitored and appreciated by all who visit them. Playing no small part in this site's preservation are the trail regulars who are sure to check-in on the site during their hikes. Here's a huge thank you to our community of preservationists!⠀ ⠀ #preservation #utahhistoricsites #archaeology
November often means some dispersed camping and hi November often means some dispersed camping and hiking. And @ramblinghemlock and I spent the past holiday savoring a relatively small area from our camp with minimal driving but lots of hiking to make the best use of the limited daylight hours. … Our friend Mike joined us on this trip to see both previously seen favorites and places new to Joan and me. … We saw the Ancestral Pueblo structures, images, red rock canyons, and a wickiup with scattered lithics nearby. And no Thanksgiving would not seem complete without at least one photo of preparing a meal (PCO @ramblinghemlock) …. #Utah #hiking #camping #pictographs
The ultimate 2021 gift guide .. It’s better for The ultimate 2021 gift guide .. It’s better for the environment and better than any so-called “green friendly” label ... You probably don’t need another new gadget ... Outdoors, a passion about minimizing the clutter of life often seems yet another way to acquire more stuff. Don’t need it? Don’t buy it. Replace what needs replacing instead. ... “Do not be in a hurry to spend money on new inventions. Every year there is put upon the market some patent knapsack, folding stove, cooking-utensil, or camp trunk and cot combined; and there are always for sale patent knives, forks, and spoons all in one, drinking-cups, folding portfolios, and marvels of tools. Let them all alone” — How to Camp Out by John Mead Gould, 1877

Bears Ears - The enemy is us. ... With the reinsta Bears Ears - The enemy is us. ... With the reinstatement of the Bears Ears National Monument, many people seemed quite pleased and even triumphant. The land, the beauty, and the sacred get more protection from traditional western industries such as mining or energy exploration. . ... However, protecting public land without the education, resources, and staff to effectively administer it makes for an empty gesture in many ways. Though volunteers help fill the gap, the many archaeologists and people who work for the public land agencies can’t adequately keep up with the many people who come to a place once it gets advertised and becomes a bucket list item “to do.” ... While an oil derrick and the infrastructure put in place to extract said oil certainly causes issues. However, do 5,000 people visiting a previously quiet site with their footprints, body oils on rock images, and the large carbon footprint used to fly into a regional hub and then travel further to such areas cause as much harm? ...
