Yo Volks,

I've been offlist awhile for several reasons. I now reside in Castle
Valley, UT. which is 17 miles up the Colorado river from Moab,  the
closest town to Canyonlands (Island in the Sky), Dead Horse Point, and
Arches. This is some of the most strikingly beautiful country to be
found. . . . anywhere. The possible down side to a late June visit
might be the temperature. It gets hot in the summer.

I missed the original post, but would be happy to correspond with
anyone interested via p-mail.

Re: Travel from Oregon to Austin

I'll second that!!!  It's a state park with a stunning view of
Canyonlands
and very nice campsites to boot.  There used to be a little grey fox
that
hung out there and liked to visit (startle) the campers.
