After climbing so much in Joshua Tree, my upper body needed a break (it's tough getting old ya know...), so I headed to Zion Canyon for 2 days of hiking. The weather was perfect, fall colors were still around and there were very few people. Good stuff! Pente really liked the Zion campground... lots of places to scratch and roll in the dirt. I'll be heading 
home tomorrow for a few days before I head South to El Potrero Mexico. Life is good! :-)
After the madness of Vegas it was great to arrive in the desert climbing dirtbag mecca known as Joshua Tree... Here you can live cheap, climb lots and generally detox from the crazy world we live in. I've been going to Josh since '83 and still love it... Great climbing, great weather, beautiful landscapes, super fun people and a laid back scene. This trip I was also fortunate enough to learn of the desert sushi fest, which was a great time... I've been here 9 days now and will likely begin heading NEast Sunday or so... In the meantime, it's a rest day in Josh and many calories are in order...
