Trip Leader Notes:
"ALL SWAMPERS MUST
-
Wash boatmen feet at the end of each day
-
Refer to boatmen as Sir
-
Walk 10 feet behind boatmen & act like you don't know them when they're talking to chicks
OR ELSE SUFFER THE FATE OF ?"
Camp Kitchens
In 1866 Charles Goodnight took a herd of 2,000 longhorn from Texas, to Denver. The distinguishing feature of his wagon was the box on the rear with a lid that lowered to become the cook's table, the “Chuck Box”.
Almost 150 years later the wagons have been modified but the chuck box remains the headquarters for the back-country outfit. It is more than just a place to eat meals; it’s the social center, where good food is cooked, tall tales told, and the days events recounted.
Old Time Needles
This is a picture of Bates Wilson in what I think is Squaw Flat in the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to go on some of these early trips when NPS Officials and Congressional Delegates went into the Needles Country with Bates and Moab NPS folks and citizens.

We will meet in the BW parking lot Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. There is no cost for this trip, we are just a bunch of friends meeting to do canyons together, this is not a class or a guided trip! more info here.
