I had this whole section of the Canyonlands To myself.  Just me and the snake, and about a million bats and some bugs. And that's all.

I love off the beaten path camping.  Campgrounds are bleh (even though I spend a fair amount of time at them lol) other than they usually have running water and what not but to get out where no one else is around is truly a nenjoyable time.

Beautiful!

Seems like it could be challenging if wind picked up, no?

If the wind picked up, you'd have to be in your tent or it would blow away. On the plus side, you could see where it went easily enough.

The same bike.  I got that sorted out - it just took time and patience.  It seems to be running as strong as ever now. Smile

The best part was when I jumped my bike across the canyon.  Of course, there was no one there to see it.

Z-man, where was that? First guess is the Grand Canyon, but it could also be one of several places in the same general region.

I'm betting Moab Utah, in Canyonlands National Park. Out off Deadhorse point, or somewhere along the White Rim?

Seems I missed some posts here.  Smile  That was in Canyonlands Nat'l park.  White Rim Trail.  The overlook, it wasn't a campsite, just a place I was able to get my bike before I couldn't go any farther except down.

I have that picture somewhere here, but I'd have to post it to the web in order to get it to show up... I'm so lazy.

There is a huge cliff there, I managed to finish peeing before anything hit the ground.  Awesome.
