North/West Tour : Day 7 : Utah
After Josh Hawkins slayed out the Flagstaff rails and we caught a venom filled coral snake… we began our journey north to Salt Lake City. We couldn’t quite make the whole drive in one night, so at about 4:30 am, we pulled over to what seemed like a nice sandy, canyon spot. When we woke up to the blazing sun at 8 am, we were alarmed by a dung beetle burrowing underneath the tent. We cruised outside and found to our surprise, a massive cave towering about two stories high. Good thing we found that the night before. We took a gander inside, and it was pretty amazing, in fact, the remote spot we thought we had found wasn’t remote at all. It was right across the street from a mining museum and golf course. After taking a few essential group shots we started heading north on route to Salt Lake City. I don’t know what directions Jared was following but we ended up over shooting the highway by an hour. It actually worked out for the best, because we came across another canyon area, with spectacular views and more photo opportunities. Needless to say with all of our sight seeing and Buffalo jerky stops, we didn’t get a whole lot of skating in that day.
