I've been very busy I had a 2-week artist residency in New Mexico and fell in love with the southwest it was coincidental then that I'd been planning a trip to Utah with several women to go backpacking in Canyonlands National Park, so a week after coming home from the residency we left for Utah it was a LONG drive, but we were 6 people as far as Denver, where we dropped off 3 and picked up one girl flying in for the backpacking part and then drove on to Glenwood Springs, Colorado--all this in ONE day we had to drive through a snowstorm over the mountains, I credit my friend Julie with nerves of steel, actually there was very little traffic and we only found out a week later that the officials closed the highway later that evening. We got into Glenwood Springs before midnight never even seeing the mountains we drove through the next day we drove to Utah, south of Moab and to Canyonlands where after getting our backcountry permit it still took us 4 hour...
