Blanding, UT

We got off the river yesterday morning after an unbelievable 11 days in the canyon. The crew was remarkable and the trip was better than the '89 trip with all of the great hiking. Unfortunately on the third day my camera got doused and died. We will be getting pictures from some of our travel mates.

When we got back to Marble Canyon we were told that they had a dust storm the likes of which they had not seen in years and the inside of the camper was covered in red dust. We spent several hours today cleaning it.

Tomorrow we head to Natural Bridges National Monument. We may not have cell service there so it may be a couple of days before another update.

Here are two pictures from Monument Valley which we passed through on the way here.
