This is first of a three part tale. It is about prep. We scout out Bluff, Utah as a place for provisions each week and to gather intel, by befriending locals looking for personal experiences in remote and special places. Even looking for the less spectacular, yet a place of solitude...and secret gems...and nudity free. When you pick up an historical mag and mention that you live where it is published and where their headquarters are and how a bad guy messed up a dig down there, the world opens up. And so it did.
We find an un-publicized riparian canyon and take a two mile nude scouting expedition to prepare for the following day. Meanwhile, a strong weather front treats us to a discouraging desert experience, which proves to be the darkness before a new dawn, so to speak...and kinda literal.
Two more parts will follow, through a fantastic geology and a little naked Indiana Jones.
