In the winter of 1985 I was driving through the Mojave Desert with a friend, talking about our apparent need for new river gear. As we passed the Twenty Nine Palms Marine Base, a man unexpectedly appeared on the side of the road selling used ammo cans. My friend and I laughed wildly and quickly came to realize that the moment was "All In A Days' Karma". This blog contains the occasional ramblings of a died-in-the-wool westerner who loves seeing, understanding, and being alive upon these landscapes. I cherish the moments of bliss and irony that come to all of us as we explore the planet and its residents (and perhaps visitors) in the short time we are here.

Historic Showdown in Recapture Canyon, Utah - May 10, 2014

As if living in Wild West dream from the past, local residents in Blanding Utah are attempting to circumvent federal law by trespassing into Recapture Canyon. See the post by the Friends of Cedar Mesa here: http://www.friendsofcedarmesa.org/recapping-the-recapture-canyon-atv-protest/.

I think things are coming to a head in the management of federal lands in certain Western states.
