buddha - thanks for the info. I'll have to spend some time in that area looking for dino gizzards! HA! I think you should lead a band of Baja Nomads
on an epic winter adventure!
"... a graded red-dirt road miles from no-where, unable to move until the road surface mud finally froze up about 3 am and I could resume travel."
HA! That happened to me once after a trip to Fable Valley in Manti La Sal. Rained for two days and I was sliding all over the road. Decided to wait
until the next day and spent the night at a trailhead on Salt Creek Plateau. Rained all the next day too, and snowed during the night. Finally a
ranger came by and told me the best option was to drive out at first light while the ground was still frozen. I did that, praying the whole way,
still sliding around - but made it out in 4WD Low. That mud is treacherous.

Are you NUTZZ?? That's why i'm coming to Baja in a week... epic winter adventure indeed!!! That place gets colder than my ex-wife's heart in winter
(and she still lives there)... Monticello Ut is a literal FRIZZER. On the San Juan River i've been snowed on THIS WEEK. Ain't enough gizzards or
projectile points in all of 4 corners to get me back there in winter... even southern NM is too cold for me now.
Check w/ me next May-ish though... i did professionally guide there full and part-time since 1978, might be fun to meet either in Bluff, Blanding or
Monticello and do a little more Moki-Pokin' and dino-dunkin'. So many choices, so little time..... 
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

wilderone, great story and pics, I have spent two or three decades exploring the back country in Utah. You just
can't go up a canyon without seeing some sign of the Old Ones. I consider Bluff my second home and have hiked most of the Comb Ridge canyons. Anyone
visiting Bluff should stay at/visit the Recapture Lodge as they are back-country and archeologically knowledgeable.
My motto:
Never let a Dragon pass by without pulling its tail!

LOL! Yeah, actually it got to 28 in the canyon we were working in. OK - think about Spring, y'all.
