Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

[Matt]

My barber apprenticeship is going really well.  I cut Imogene’s hair yesterday…

beautiful @Matt

Very excited to get into it today.  We’re starting with a 5 miler at Dead Horse Point St Pk.  Hopefully that and lots of coffee will remedy my post drive back trauma and sleep deprivation caused by the kids’ first night in the hotel.

I’ll put up some scenery shots here and some 16 oz slub shots on the sample thread.

Hope you guys have fun today and thanks for letting us all tag along. Looking forward to more pics. Beautiful country.

Dead Horse St Park…

The park is named Dead Horse Point because cowboys used to corral wild mustangs here but after choosing the ones they wanted they’d leave the rest penned in to die of thirst.  No one knows why.  Here’s one of the fences they made…

There’s a 100 mile road at the bottom of the canyons that you need a 4WD or AWD to travel.  It takes a few days to drive and you can camp along the way.  We’re planning to come back to do that with the kids.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Wow that place is so awesome. It kind of reminds me of Drumhellar in Alberta. I'm so jelly.

[Matt]

If only the photos could really capture how crazy the views are.  We’re having an awesome time.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That's great. I hope you continue to do so

That sound uber-fun….

More Canyonlands today…

Amazing views. That landscape is truly alien to what we have here in Missouri and I can’t wait to take the family someday. Love how full the kid’s vests are with patches!  What a gift you guys have given them.

[Matt]

They hate those vests now.  They weigh a ton and they’re constantly getting stabbed by the pins but we make them put them on every time they get a new one.

@Matt holy f*ck, awesome pictures! Looks remarkably like Gosport
