pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7496 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	I really enjoyed your article in the latest Knife Knews on southern Utah, Peter, very interesting and informative. You'll have to go on s high mountain hike to a lake with fish for an excursion this summer. Are you ready for the Moab hoard to show up this spring?

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2604 Loc: Southeast Utah	Thanks Pap There are some lakes in the LaSals and I am sure that I will visit more there during the summer. I think that some tourists are starting to trickle in now that the snow is melting in town. I will know for sure that tourist season starts when beer at the Brewery goes up to 4 bucks from 2.50 in the off season.

tunefink Knife Enthusiast Registered: 09/13/05 Posts: 4077 Loc: Bambalam	I was in Moab during the Jeep Safari one year...... and not on purpose. Rock crawlers everywhere you look!!!! My girl and I rented a RV in Vegas and drove the Grand Circle. A great trip. Moab was by far my favorite stop. Canyonlands and Arches are amazing parks. I also recall great breakfast at the Jailhouse Cafe....!!! _________________________ Always, buying, selling and trading. www.randallmadeknife.com

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2604 Loc: Southeast Utah	I have been out a lot but haven't posted lately, so here are some photos from the Alcove Spring trail in the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. It was a beautiful day with temperatures in the upper 50's and sunny. Still some snow on the shady sides, but it is melting daily. Hike was about 13 miles out and back with a 1300 ft elevation change from the trail head to the valley below. At the end are the rock towers named Zeus and Moses, I couldn't tell which was which. Jeep Safari in 3 weeks so tourist season will running full tilt.

pappy19 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 10/31/07 Posts: 7496 Loc: Garden Valley, Idaho	Spring is in the air for sure. Are you going on any of the Jeep activities? Seen any big horn sheep in your travels? Do you pack a pistol on your excursions?

Peter_Kaufman Knife Enthusiast Registered: 02/14/08 Posts: 2604 Loc: Southeast Utah	Pap I will be working at the vendor showcase. I don't prefer to do trails when they are that crowded, as some obstacles can really slow down the group. No big horn sheep seen while hiking, but Sunday morning on the way home from my dog walk there were three mule deer does across the street from me. Steve, I think the animal is similar to a Sasquatch or Yeti Peter Edited by Peter_Kaufman (03/04/13 08:57 AM) _________________________ Peter Kaufman NRA Life GOA SAF RKCC CM-023 RKS #5642 SHAG # 005 Ironwood Nut Life is too short to have ugly knives
