Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I have often said that Utah is one of the places I wouldn't mind living, and have definitely enjoyed my explorations there.

 I have been in many beautiful places, and did not wish 
 to taste, but to drink deep. 
 --Everett Ruess, VAGABOND FOR BEAUTY 
 
 
 When many of us go on our backcountry excursions, it 
 is often for a taste. A weekend here and there. A week 
 if we are lucky. Some of us are fortunante to drink 
 deep at the fountain of beauty for weeks or even 
 months. 
 
 One place where I have tasted beauty and yearn to 
 drink deep someday is the canyon country of Utah. The 
 canyon country is harsh, unforgiving if you are not 
 prepared..but posses a stark beauty that is unique, 
 gorgeous and dramatic. 
 
 This past Memorial Day weekend went to BLM lands 
 surrounding Capitol Reef National Park. Was again in 
 this land that I have grown to love over the years. 
 
 With the heavy snow fall through out most of the west, 
 there were seeps and puddles in the canyon. Wild 
 flowers abounded. With the stark walls and red sand 
 stone, the views were dramatic. 
 
 I really can't add too much more, I'll let the pics do 
 the talking:

 Someday, will be back for an extended time. Will drink 
 deep.

 Each August during the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, a few intrepid  souls night hike up to the Table Land for the show. In '02 a finishing GAMEr decided to join the fun and all were treated to full blown brilliant Aurora event. 
 'Twas beautiful from our blankets at Katahdin Stream, must've been quite a trip for those up on the mountain.
