		<description>Thanks Jason!  Ah, I&#039;m just a long winded guy trying to fill space in between the photos!  ;)  Nothing like picking on myself early in the morning!  :)

Let me know when you&#039;re ready to visit the Buttes and the Pocket (that reads odd, doesn&#039;t it?)  The Nissan is ready to go back for more, even if the driver is still a little battered.</description>

		<description>Photography skills notwithstanding, your writing continues to become more and more engaging - your posts soak me in and like Kathy said, I feel like I am living vicariously through your work - very nice set here Rich!

		<description>Thanks Josh.  I&#039;m not done by any means.  Still toying with ideas, and 2/3rds of the photos haven&#039;t been sorted yet.  :)

Mike, the place is stunning.  In Utah there&#039;s a park near the Paria River Ranger station.  I pulled my Airstream there a few months ago and used it as a base camp to explore the area.  That would work fine.  But.....for White Pocket and Coyote Buttes South I&#039;d suggest camping in the area in a tent.  Travel time (even though it&#039;s a short distance) is long due to &quot;road&quot; conditions.

Thanks Kathy.  I enjoy exploring new places, so easy to get enthused!  :)  And I&#039;m experimenting between the &quot;natural&quot; and the edits for this series.  We&#039;ll see what I settle on.  Just last time I did &quot;as shot&quot; I had a bunch of e-mail requests to see the place in HDR.  Do it one way, folks want it another way.....  :)  Gives me a laugh!</description>

		<description>Absolutely astonishing place. I must go there to see and photograph it myself. Might there be a place to park the Airstream nearby. Camping in a tent or the Durango is an option, but I&#039;d like to have my trusty base camp nearby.

BTW, I&#039;m planning to take my father to the Grand Canyon sometime in the week before Christmas. I&#039;ll look for a break in the weather and we&#039;ll take the Airstream to the park for a few days. I&#039;m hoping for some snow covered scenes in the canyon. My last 2 trips to Grand Canyon had indifferent clouds and not terribly good light, but I was surprised how nicely a bit of HDR applied to single shots copied into 5 shots at -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2 EV brought the place to life. Now I want to get correctly bracketed shots.</description>
