We left Hugo and drove to Montrose, CO and spent the night. Then drove to the San Rafael Swell area west
of Green River, UT. We set up a camp out on a BLM road that goes to the west
part of Canyonlands National Park. Love
the BLM camping – they don’t have all the rules the parks do. And it is primitive camping with no amenities
which we like. Our solar panel provides
all the electricity we need and our camper is self-contained: perfect if it is
not cold! We did
hiking in the canyons of the Swell and explored places we have not previously been. We were in this area a lot in the
early 90’s but it has really changed.

A different kind of track left by an unknown traveler.
Sunrises were nice.
The camp.

Of course I will give you a kiss.

One ranger referred to these kind of things as cowboy-glyphs.
This is the first sheep we have seen in this area.
A petroglyph and a couple of bullet holes.
Some hoodoos near camp.
A few cattle wondered in once in a while.
