With Wind Advisories for blowing dust and high fire danger, I doubt many RV's and high profile vehicles will be underway tomorrow in Southern Utah/Northern Arizona. Given the weather forecast, we have changed plans, and rather than heading for Lake Powell, we'll bivy here at Mike J's (MOUTON NOIR) pad in Moab, Utah.
Yesterday, Mike and Susan took us on an off-road adventure in Canyonlands National Park, something they enjoy, have the proper 4WD equipment for, and are highly skilled at. We wound our way from near Dead Horse Point on Island In the Sky, down narrow switchbacks with steep drop offs inches from the wheels to keep you honest. On our way downward to the Colorado River we passed nonchalant mountain goats at "Thelma and Louise" Point, where rumor has it the denouement of that classic movie was filmed.

Castleton Tower, a 400' sandstone tower, was first climbed Sept.16, 1961, by Layton Kor and Huntley Ingalls. Their route, rated 5.9, remains one of the 50 classic climbs of North America. photo by Ann Contos.
Thanks, Mike and Susan!
