The dance of the grebes

Posted: April 02, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 3 Comments

Who knows why grebes dance?  Just because it’s spring, I suppose.  Or maybe they finally got vaccinated and can feel the lure of the open road. There’s sound in here, but it’s pretty faint – mostly just the wind, the nearby blackbirds, and the grinding of a zoom lens that’s starting to give out on … Continue reading "The dance of the grebes"

An equinoctial letdown

Posted: March 21, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 6 Comments

It’s hard to feel let down on the first day of spring, but here we are.  It’s all the fault of Rich-Illinois – if he didn’t make such a big thing about seeing your shadow on the equinox, I wouldn’t have minded that it was overcast today in Moab for probably the first time in … Continue reading "An equinoctial letdown"

Natural Bridges

Posted: March 17, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 3 Comments

We’re out of Color Country now and have moved on to the southeast corner of Utah – Canyon Country – which, surprise surprise, is still pretty darn colorful.  We’ll get back on the bikes again soon but for now we’re still on foot when we’re not driving.  Today’s hike through Natural Bridges National Monument is … Continue reading "Natural Bridges"

Back to Zion

Posted: March 13, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 9 Comments

We’ve finally moved on from our stay in Saint George.  We had other plans for where to wander next, but a late winter cold front dropped snow to the valley and convinced us that we should avoid the high routes east.  Instead we booked two nights in Springdale, the small town at the entrance to … Continue reading "Back to Zion"

Utah Hill

Posted: March 09, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 1 Comment

It seems odd to find a bike route in Utah called simply ‘Utah Hill’.  Why this hill specifically, when there are thousands to choose from?  Maybe it’s because it’s near the Arizona border and it’s the first ridge you would cross climbing out of the Mojave Basin before they blasted a blasted freeway through the … Continue reading "Utah Hill"

Zion in black and white

Posted: March 06, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 13 Comments

I’m feeling badly about this month’s challenge, and owe an apology to my compatriots to the north and down under. Pretty thoughtless and self centered to declare this Kodochrome month while we’re in Color Country and most folks are still stuck with a pallet of grey, white and brown. Oh well.  What’s done is done. … Continue reading "Zion in black and white"

On the Zen Trail

Posted: March 05, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 2 Comments

For a change of pace from biking through the endless colorful panorama of southwest Utah, we decided to take a walk today.  Rocky found a fine hike for us, one close enough at hand that we could just start from our front door:   The Zen Trail. We were still surrounded by spectacular views everywhere … Continue reading "On the Zen Trail"

In Color Country

Posted: March 03, 2021 Under: Challenge of the month By Scooter 2 Comments

The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) is a major stakeholder in Utah, having responsibility for over 23 million acres of public lands.  They divide the state up into five districts: We’re in Color Country for the next ten days, and then will move on to stays in the Paria River, Canyon Country and Green River … Continue reading "In Color Country"
