On Friday the 13th I head out to the San Rafael Swell for a trip put together by Cruiseroutfitters (Kurt) consisting of members from the Wasatch Cruisers and ExpeditionUtah. This would be the first group camping trip that I had attended of this size in awhile.
The plan was too leave Bountiful too meet up with another group to caravan down to camp before it got dark. Unfortunately, there was a 8 car pile-up on S.B I-15 that caused some major delays. Fortunately, I had been monitoring my CB (don't know if this was a no-no)listening to truck drivers directing each other on how to get accident.
Ultimately, this put us a little behind schedule due to the detour. Despite this incident the rest of the drive down to camp location was mostly uneventful. Despite getting lost/confused as to where the group was camping at for the night. We did eventually find them at the first location we had originally stopped and where able to set up camp for the night.
A view of the Swell from camp on Saturday morning:
The wind coming up and out of the canyon made it very chilli.
Group shot prior to leaving camp:
Heading out to the MK (Morrison Knudsen) Tunnels:
Morrison Knudsen Tunnel site. Due to vandalism and some vulgar language and images that have been sprayed painted in and around the tunnel. I will not post the photo's on this site.
