During my week off we decided to go down and visit my parents in Monticello Utah. They took us on a great ride around San Juan County and I took some pretty cool pics of some of the areas we went to.

This is a shot from the top of the Moki Dugway overlooking the Valley of the Gods. It is an amazing view that this picture hopefully captured for you.

Here is a quick shot from the truck that Amy took of the road down the dugway. She was holding her breath most of the way down.

Ethan did not want to get out and be in the picture so he is missing here but I am standing with Amy and Hazen on the lookout at the top of the Dugway.

Another shot from the top of the dugway.

Here we stopped at the Mule Canyon Indian Ruins. It is a restored Kiva with a watchtower that is to our left.

We are standing in front of the house block that is attached to the Kiva.

Here is a wider picture that takes in the whole housing block.

It is amazing that many of these structures are still standing. As you drive around these back roads you can catch a glimpse of walls still holding to the sides of the canyon walls. One of these times I come down I am going to go for a walk in these canyons and get some good close pictures for all of ya. It is a good time of year to be in Southern Utah. Not to hot during the day but still gets a little chilly during the day.

I'm Back

As some of you may know, I took a job last June out in Rock Springs with Halliburton Energy Services. It has been very busy for us out there and as a result my outdoor excursions have slowed down. As well as my update of my site. But I am going to start showing some pics from the gas fields of Western Wyoming. Spring is also coming and we are ready to get outdoors.After leaving the computer and keyboard world I ended right back at it this winter. Here I am sitting inside of our command center at my workstation where I ran the horsepower pumps by computer that we use to push our frac fluids down hole.


Here are a couple of shots of our equipment. We go day and night.

It is great to work outdoors again. And each day at work is an outdoor excursion.
