It's a #sublimesunday y'all! Got 40oz. to Freedom blasting and a fresh pot of Yirgacheffe on. If it gets better than this it's probably too rich for my blood.
Got to talking about desert rock formations with 
I'd been meaning too anyways, seems like we can't go more than a day or two without a new news story about people needing to be rescued or dying while out hiking in the southwest.
Apparently everybody and their cousin decided to take up hiking when the pandemic hit. Judging by the casualty count, a good number neglected to familiarize themselves with best practices in their haste to get outdoors.
Wonder if that's been a global phenomenon or one of those peculiar American problems? Anybody else noticed the same thing in their part of the planet?
Most of these photos are from when I was in Arches National Park in Utah back in late September of 2017. It was hot then, near 90 (30C) and just barely feasible to hump camera gear and enough water over some of these trails. In the heat of summer (or the September we're having) I don't think it'd be possible.
It's been intermittently pouring the rain today so it's an indoors sort of Sunday. We're going to pay the southwest another visit next year, editing these photos has got me itching to start planning that. Anybody know of some cool, off-the-beaten-path places to visit out that way?
Hopefully we can dodge the flash floods that seem to be in fashion lately. There's some slot canyons that I want to revisit with a wide angle but them and rain don't mix well.
That's probably enough lollygagging in the land of no rain. Y'all have a good Sunday, or what's left of it at least!
