Harris Ridge


Awesome spot.  Sitting in the breeze under a gibbous moon with a pine fire at my knees.  I'm somewhere above Glendale, but can see and hear no civilization.  Got cell, though.  Said goodnight to the girls.  To get here required that I move a 20 inch white fir from the road.  It worked out OK, except that when I went to roll it, the branch broke and I impaled myself on the stob.  Might have had to go home but in the end it wasn't too bad.  As the sun set, I went out to the point and made some pictures of the Paunsaugunt.  I thought, as I stood there, this is the country of Fray Escalante, and J.W. Powell, and M. Dixon, and even Bishop Lamy.  But it isn't the country of the motor-head from Phoenix or the bobo from Salt Lake.  Please, God.
