That looks great, thanks for sharing.

I got to really like desert landscapes when I worked in Jordan.

Cheers, Michael

Hi Woods,
What a wonderful trip, sound a good bunch of folk and in stunning scenery. I like slot canyons, always a sense of mystery to them and a feeling that you may be the first to be down them (would love to do the ones around Petra).
The mystery rucksack is an Arcteryx by the way. Not sure of the model.
Take care,
GB.

Thanks Goatboy!....Arcteryx it is then....i'm not real farmiliar with the brand, though i hear they have a military grade rucksack as well...woods

Looks cool. What about snakes, wild animals etc if you are bivvying rather than in a tent ?

I'll tell ya true amigo...i can't stand tents...ive been doing it this way for fifty years with nothing more than sore hips to complain about.
reckon the good Lords been lookin out for me...though as of late, i have discovered hammocks and i use one exclusively while on long canoe trips.
the problem with using hammocks in a desert are obvious...woods

So are snakes a problem ?

Cracking pics and write up woods. Great to see friends enjoying time together.

not that ive noticed...i see rattle snakes all the time and more than once at close range, ive even killed n ate a couple n turned one into a hat band...on another unlucky reptile, after i caught, killed, skinned n ate em, i put his rattle into the soundhole of my guitar.
legend goes it improves the tone...though i can't say its improved my playin any...so i reckon they're more concerned about ol woods...or they should be...woods
