Fabulous. And Spectacular. Photos can never really capture what you see in person. Now if we could just time travel way way back and put together a time lapse video of how all that got carved out.

Very cool place...................were some of those taken from Dead Horse? RE: Point and Shoot. I bot a Canon Rebel a couple of yrs ago, and am OK with it, but I don't think it takes any better pictures than a good old P&S. The nice thing about the Rebel is you can add great lenses. I'm not enough of a photo snob to want to have to lug around all the lenses it takes to get great shots though. I am tempted to buy another p&s for our trip to EU next Fall. And agree about the lenses on phones. Qualcomm was touting it's Mirasol technology yrs ago, but it looks like it was all a bunch of hooey.

I made a lot of money off T@L. My partner and i gave tours to clients. Europeans or just somebody with a sedan. Lunch at Dead Horse then down Schaeffer, and out Potash. At the bottom where schaefer meets potash is the junction of the White Rim trail. Dont go unless you have brass ones. 110 miles of the most rugged beautiful canyon country vistas, washes, obstacles, erosion, ledges, drop offs. I have been around it a half dozen or so times. Twice on dirt bikes. One day trip, 110 miles, thought i was going to die both times. Once we went in the middle of summer. Hot,dry...6% humidity. We hid from the sun. We were waiting for the full moon. What night....primal. One more and i'll quit. Another time, we hiked out to the confluence. Split the 'Y' so to speak. Helluva view The two most important supplies to take. Water, lots and lots of water. And spare tires....at least 2, preferably 3. Sharp edged rocks are brutal The 'road' you see below you at Dead Horse...is it In the early 80's, maintenance was a foreign word. (Grin)
