Most of my digital snap shots were saved into a single folder without any information or date.  Sorry for many I have no idea of when or where.

1999 camped inside the South fork of Canyon de Chilly near the base of Spider Rock. Canyon de Chilly is high in my list of 'must see' places.  By all means take the roads along to top and look down at the canyon before traveling inside it.  It helps give you a perspective.  There is a free campground near the entrance of the canyon.  Travel within the canyon requires a Navajo guide.  A single registered guide can accompany as many as 5 vehicles and rides in the lead vehicle.  Best to go during the dry season when the river is low.  I've personally seen a 109 sink all but a corner of the hardtop under the river during the rainy season.  Guide trips into the canyon are day trips.  You can hire a guide spend he day in one branch of the canyon, spend the night at the free campground then hire a guide to travel the second branch of the canyon.  I was lucky enough to develop a relationship with a guide who's  wife owned land near the base of spider rock and whose family owned property near the Mummy caves on the other branch so have camped at both places.  Canyon de Chilly works best as a 3 day trip.  One day along the top of the canyon, maybe with sunset pictures and a visit to the park office to learn the rules (You will need to pick up your guide there).  It i a good idea to tip your guide, money is scarce there.

Sorry I don't remember where in the four corners red rock area this picture is from.

1997 in The Valley of the Gods park

I think this is just South of Canyonlands National park

Morning in Kane Creek Canyon.  The sun is on the trees but hasn't yet reached the wall yet.  Kane Creek is just outside the town of Moab and offers free camping.  When I'm in the area and don't need major repairs I'm camped in this canyon more often than not.  When I need major work there is a nice campground just south of town along the highway with good showers and UPS delivers around 3PM.
