Tobin's Halloween 2010 trip report

[Tobin]

Thank you for the great trip everyone! I really appreciated everybody's help with the boys, and the quick pack up job Sunday morning. Also, thanks for humoring us with the trick-or-treating Saturday night.

I love the San Rafael Swell area!

More pictures and write-up soon to come...

Eagle Canyon Arch. Here we are looking at a couple different cameras. I wish I worked a little harder at this camera angle and stood back a bit farther. Hopefully Jack got a better shot.

Parking at the Lone Warrior pictograph panel.

Heading under I-70.




Chuck cruisin' ahead of the group.


And parked. We were so close to our destination and had to turn around. No way to bypass this one.


Road was way to bad to fill in. We were so close to our destination and had to turn around. No way to bypass this one.

Dang I wish I could have come man! Those pictures are pretty sweet. I would have loved to explore some of those mines. Did any of them go deep at all?

Yeah, some of them went deep. We didn't get real deep in the majority we saw though. For the most part we went through each site quickly, looked up at the beautiful holes and old equipment, and left. It killed me, but I understand that stuff is not for everyone. Especially with me being the one with 2 little kids. We did get back to the Lucky Strike Mine though! We barely went in anything there also.

I really think we need to get down there and setup camp right in the town to really get a fill of that place. I wish we could do it before your mission.

I will post some more photos soon.
