#112181 - 07/09/13 05:57 PM Mill creek, right hand [Re: Peter_Kaufman]
Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	I have been out a lot but didn't have time to post some new photos. We went up the right hand of Mill creek, some stream crossings, petroglyphs, and two critters. Still hot here 103 today, but only 9% humidity, so it doesn't feel too bad once you are acclimated to it.

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7376 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Very nice shots, Peter, I was almost a herp man in college but no money in it so I went with forestry. No money in forestry either, but I could still buy an occasional Randall and some Beanie-Weenie's.

#112369 - 07/21/13 08:06 PM Mann's Peak, LaSal mountains [Re: Peter_Kaufman]
Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	Went hiking up to Mann's Peak in the LaSal mountains this weekend, a scenic drive and much cooler temperatures because of the elevation. Not a long hike, but quite a climb with the peak above 12200 feet. Some nice views from all directions, but we could see weather coming in and not a good place to be in a storm. We made it back to the vehicles and on the way back there was rain and pea size hail with the temperatures in the 50's. Back in Moab, dry and around 100 Peter Attachments ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Description: storm brewing ------ ------ _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7376 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Lots of big Muley bucks in the LaSalle's, not to mention big elk and moose. Did I say bears?? Yes, one doesn't want to mess around with angry clouds in the mountains. I once read a story of a lady hiker in Colorado that was caughton a rock outcrop with a storm approaching. She had a metal frame pack and took it off and put it 50-60 yards from her and then hunkered down. After the storm blew over she waited until the storm was 4-5 miles away, then retrieved her pack. As soon as she put it on, she got hit by a bolt. She lived but had major physical issues ever since. Be safe out there.

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2582 Loc: Southeast Utah	One of my goals when I moved to Utah was to go canyoneering, so I have learned how to rappel and some rope skills and off we went. We had to do several rappels into pools that were pretty deep as well as walk through pools and swim to get down canyon. Perfect activity on a hot summer day. The last rappel was about 80 feet, my longest so far Peter Photos are all rotated on my computer, don't know why they are not here Attachments ------ Description: fins up the canyon ------ Description: on rappel ------ Description: almost down ------ Description: off the rope and time to swim ------ Description: heading down another level ------ Description: canyon view ------ Description: canyon view ------ Description: canyon view Edited by Peter_Kaufman (07/31/13 02:48 PM) Edit Reason: tried to rotate photos _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
