On another recommendation from my friend Dawn (the same Dawn that suggested the Rattlesnake Canyon), I made a stop in Black Dragon Canyon to camp outside of Moab, UT for a night and to find the pictographs and petroglyphs there. Pictographs are paintings on stone…
My friend, Nick, likes to invent games and organize sporting events. A recent creation was to devise a way to be able to play Ultimate Frisbee after dark (since we’re into autumn here and the evenings are getting darker earlier and earlier every day). Since…
Today’s video is a short little time lapse that I took in the San Juan National Forest. You may recognize the scene from a clip or two from my CO/UT Time Lapse video. The painter is Paul Matthew of Roar Designs. I walked by Paul…
