Now they would prefer you to leave your car at the entry and board park busses . That means that at the principal lookouts , one is treated to the smell and noise of clattering diesels …same in Zion’s the last time I was there .

Correction : (after looking at the current park map ) it is still possible to follow the queen’s trail from Sunset Pt. to Sunrise Pt.

And coincidence , when I was a college freshman , one of the prettiest girls on campus was from Hanksville.

the hogback isn’t easy to get to.  it’s on state route 12.  12 runs between torrey, near the hq of capitol reef nat. park, and highway 89 just south of panguitch.  the hogback is near the middle of that, between escalante (small), and boulder, (tiny).  not on the beaten path to anywhere.  you can also access it via the burr trail from bullfrog marina on lake powell.

the burr trail isn’t paved all the way-

-and the ferry from hall’s crossing to bullfrog is shut down due to low water.  you can get to bullfrog from hanksville.  not an easy place to get to, but it and the rest of route 12 are worth seeing.

brice canyon (national) and kodachrome canyon (state) parks are down that way – both worth a look-see

I owned an AMX at the time , so was hanging around his pit area a lot . I had a good camera at the time and on Friday he asked if I would get photos of the car and plane together since they had matching (AMC) racing colors , before loading the car onto the trailer the next morning . I said that I would for a ride with him .
The deal was on ! I had to sit on the floor pan , the suspension and tires were rock hard , so it almost shook the fillings out of my teeth** , and my ears rang for weeks , but it was the ride of my life !

** the Salt has little ridges every few inches , so the ride is like driving on a cobblestone road , only worse .

Wendover and the Salt Flats ( probably the only person who can say they rode at Bonneville with Craig Breedlove in his record setting AMX at the end of Speedweek ) , the High Uintas , Moab and Arches , Pangitch and Bryce , Zion’s , Cedar Breaks , Lake Powell , even Delta , on the way to Baker NV and the caves ( between Delta and Baker on July 4 weekend , drove in that heat without A/C , and for over an hour without meeting another car , thinking “If we blow a radiator hose , we’ll die before anyone finds us !” , but never saw or drove the Hogback . Next time out there to visit the grandkids , I will .

a fun little piece of road i found in utah.  i was too busy driving to deal with a camera, so this is someone else’s video.

I was able to watch the beginning of Tucker last night on my phone. He brought on people last night telling how they were getting rich and even promoted by warmongering in the Mid East . How the media loves it,especially the left because it gives them something to talk abourz Bolton was one and how he must be happy with the selling of slaves in Tripoli now. Goldberg who wrote award winning fake news on conspiracy WMDs that cost 100,000s civilian deaths and 1000s of our military. Instead of getting kicked out of journalism he got promoted with left DC media fighting for him and one gave him and his kids rare horses. There’s a reward for being a murderer by a big mouth and fake news pumping conspiracy theories. War at other people expense. They should draft them send them there. People who feel inadaguate do this the speakers said.
That we have a history of this from Polk, Rosevelt and WW11, V Nam, then Iraq. Some sick people behind the scenes.

even Hillary wishes we still had Saddam back  …to counter  IRAN  Fortunately Trump didnt attempt to be Saddams surrogate ,so who will it be ISRAEL ?  Who wants to be Saddams replacement dealing with IRAN   ?  RUSSIA ,CHINA ..maybe Fat BOY from N.K will give it a try..

What a HUGH MISTAKE HILLARY was as Secretary of STATE ..”He came ,He saw ,we killed him ,thanks HILLARY you idiot ! It was the best of TIMES when Shite Muslims were fighting Sunni Muslims ..leaving us alone ! UGLY FAT Bitch ! in a EMPTY PANTS SUIT  she is to Blame for all this…and now  we have daughter of BITCH to deal with  ! SHE never was anything but an EMPTY PANTS SUIT !

The ones slowing this need to step down for CONFLICT OF INTEREST! ADULTS need to get behind these girls because they’re being threatened! It took decades for women to get scholarships and the people who are supposed to be representing women are not only failing them they’re showing a conflict of intererst and incompetent to represent them. Put a horse in the men’s race and tell them it identifys with a women or man in this case.

silly and all bulled up…we deserve a bit of fun…but gold bug sentiment is now irrelevant…more powerful forces. than us…big money and big traders and money managers are moving in…if they can defeat the Cartel, we’ll have our bull mkt…if not, then we won’t…so we can all relax and have a good time…and make, lke me, horses asses out of ourselves…until the fun ends.

Good article. What should we do with advisers who want to put us into an unwarranted war? That sounds like the worst kind of treason to me.

History of Gold Bulls

Here’s the new chapter.

Gold to $165o, silver to $20, and Bitcoin to 50k in the ultimate distraction exercise.

Those banker guys are real cut-ups no?

Who Survives The Iran Counter-Offensive?

“I give Trump a lot of credit here for not falling into the trap set for him. He now has to begin removing those responsible for this quagmire and I’m sure that will be on the docket when he meets with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping next week at the G-20.”

or just me??

I know I’m a great indicator for whatever the opposite will happen – let’s hope it stays that way.

Moreover, Xi is not an absolute ruler. While he controls most of the levers of power, there are still factions within the Communist Party of China (CPC) that could turn on him if he does not mount a sufficiently aggressive response to the US. He is not in a position to accept a deal in which he – or China – loses face or power
