Yeah.. you just like that sort of stuff. :mrgreen: No big deal. The rover just stalled in a big puddle. We hitched back to Kanab, at dinner, then got picked up and headed back out to get it. It dried out by then and we drove it home.

| It is different - odd hoodoos. They are on the backside of the huge White Pocket monolith. In the background is the popular Wave - North Coyote Buttes. There was a gorgeous rainbow back there when we were there but it was too far and too dark for a good picture. |

| I love hiking when it's cold, and in remote areas. I guess it calls to my desire for solitude. I want to be at White Pocket right now. Alas for a 20-hour drive. :? |

Yeah..... long drive to head out and explore one little pocket of sandstone. The Europeans travel clear to the USA to do it. I just don't get it. I mean is pretty out there, and I can see people planning long trips around Zion and Bryce. Maybe it is the remote area that gets to them? |
