Welcome back to earth. Great shots. I’m thinking you’re one of the younger ones posting here. I surely couldn’t make it through that environment.

Since snow, cold and deep water were keeping us from our next objective, we changed gears and headed to "The Slickrock Ocean". Lower and hence warmer than where we had planned to hike, the wettest winter in Utah history was now our friend. The Slickrock Ocean is normally a difficult place to backpack in because of no permanent water sources. This years rains made that issue moot. We spent 8 glorious days hiking "The Ocean".
Stay tuned for more!
Stay tuned for more!
I like the rainbow image the most.

I doubt at 71 I'm one of the youngest here. Maybe the most adventurous and most experienced at backcountry travel.
