At the beginning of May, Jamie and Dad M. headed back to Utah for a second round of flying around back-country airstrips, camping, and hiking. We took the 182 again due to the recent undoing of the 170 that we’d planned on taking, but everything seemed to work out in the end as we took a lot of stuff.

Even though we were in the same plane, this time was a little bit different than last time (Fall 2008) because we went in the spring, so we were dealing with different weather. Most notably wind which made afternoon flying very bumpy (I threw up 3 times on the first day). Also it snowed on us during our first night. Nevertheless, we had the opportunity to do some great hiking including some amazing slot canyons. Below is a picture of Dad working his way through one called Spooky Canyon:
This was an amazing experience and we had fun with our guide whom we met through Craigslist.
There were a lot of flowers in bloom which spiced up the desert.
Also had the chance to revist an old Uranium Mine (the Wee-Hope), explore and old ranch and a remote “development” (at Gold Creek).
Overall we had a great trip, and I can’t wait to go back soon! I’ll post some HDRs and Panoramas soon!
