Kanab Point

Another AZ Strip Trip

Adam and I headed down the Trumble road for about fifty miles before turning off and heading East towards Kanab Point. I have talked to a few people that have been out there and I had even seen a couple pictures but nothing could have prepared either one of us for this place. Incredible , beautiful, awe inspiring , trippy, mind blowing. Those are a couple words that could be used to describe Kanab Point. Still doesnt do it justice though. Between the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Kanab Point there is no comparison. Kanab Point win's hands down. For me anyways. The fact that it is a two hour drive on a ruff dirt road and we had the entire mesa too ourselves plays a big part in my choice. We hung out and admired the views for probably an hour and a half before heading North along the rim of Kanab Creek. After driving for a few miles, getting stuck once and nearing a half a tank of gas. Bolth factors shaking Adams nerves almost to the point of no return, we made camp on top of a little canyon that I have hiked once before. Fun place to camp , you cant take a step without finding at least a piece of arrow head or some kind of anasazi artifact. After a delicous dinner of dutch oven potatoes. My recipe , a pound of sausage, a pound of bacon, one onion and two bags of hash browns. It is more a health food version of dutch oven than most. We kicked back and played guitars for awhile staring at the millions of stars in the clear desert sky. Nice night untill Adam fell ill. Couldnt handle the two pounds of grease I guess. Pussy. We bolth retired to our tents to wait out the long cold night. Woke up to another cold day this time with wind. Spent the day hanging around the fire and taking a few hikes around the canyon before packing up and heading back into society. If I could give any sugestions to anybody who might take this trip in the future.
Dont come back.

Willie

Willie Nelson in St. George Utah. It was a freakin cool show. Once in a life time for me Iam sure. I doubt that old man will make it back to Southern Utah for another. Then again he might have a better chance than I do myself. He looks pretty damn good for a seventy four year old. Actually he look's like the people I passed in the hallway of the Burn's Arena upstairs before the show. Wearing black pants , black t-shirt , stoner shoes and a cowboy hat. Funny, I looked at them with pity and or disgust. Willie on the other hand I looked at as a badasss rebel who doesn't give a damn about what others think. He had his old gutiar. Complete with the hole from being picked one to many times and red, white, and blue strap like I have seen many time before in old video's and on tv. Best song of the night? Poncho and Lefty.

Hikin with my boys

New Blog

I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time but as most of you know I'am a very busy man. I have people to see and places to go. Nah, I have nowhere to go and I hate most people. I avoid them at all costs. If it means faking a phone call in one of the grocery store aisles or scoping out the vehicles in the parking lot before entering then so be it. Life has been a little crazy for us lately down here in K-town. I have been working out on the strip staking uranium claims. It goes against everything I believe in but I have no other work at the moment and I get to hike all day. So I love it. I just hope nothing comes of it and they leave all of the places out there alone. Sloan is completly hammerd from taking care of her three boy's. She works hard and even though she get's a little nuts' she is an awesome wife and mom. She just got put into young womens. She is the come back story of the year. Just kiddin, she has been back for a long time. They will never take me alive though. Boden is getting big and we are losing control of him fast. He is an awesome kid and loves to do anything outside. Jett started walking on Christmas Eve so thing's have gotten a lot harder around here. He loves chasing his brother around even though he get's the hell beat out of him for it. They are a blast and Sloan and I are looking forward to a fun summer with them .
