May your trails be dim, lonesome, stony, narrow, winding and only slightly uphill. May the wind bring rain for the slickrock potholes fourteen miles on the other side of yonder blue ridge.May God’s dog serenade your campfire, may the rattlesnake and the screech owl amuse your reverie, may the Great Sun dazzle your eyes by day and the Great Bear watch over you by night.

Ah to be in the desert after a snow storm. Few spots are more beautiful than canyon country with a white icing of snow.
Edward Abbey, born January 29 in 1927. His birthday.
Great quote for a much needed desert/canyon fix. Thanks for the great images.
