Camped at Glen Canyon, Hite UT, April 21, 2011
Just passing through
This is a one night stop as I make my way slowly east toward Blanding UT where I've made arrangements to pick up my mail next week. On the way I hope to find a camping spot or two along White Canyon and hike the canyon floor. There are ruins of Anasazi cave dwellings in the canyon walls I'd like to have a look at from below. I saw some of them from an overlook on a trip out here with a friend many years ago and they've peeked my curiosity. I think it would be neat to get an idea of what it might feel like to live in the canyon.

Walking the edge, I am. ...
... On some days breathing, eating and not folding into a ball in a corner is all I can manage. I had a few of those days in the past three weeks. It reminds me, in ways I do not like to be reminded, just how damaged I really am.
Like a character from the television show "Cheers" once said, "It's a dog eat dog world out there - and I'm wearing milkbone underwear."
