Shafer Trail Switchbacks
Canyonlands National Park, UT
This is the way you get down to that road seen in yesterday's photo. You can see that exact road at the left side of this photo. Yes, it's a long way down!
Not everyone likes these steep switchbacks, but the road is well maintained and fairly wide as these things go; plenty of places to pass a vehicle coming in the opposite direction.
I forgot to mention in yesterday's post: this is in the Island in the Sky District of the park.
The greatest problem with communication -- via any means -- is the illusion that it has been achieved.

Shafer Trail and White Rim Trail
Canyonlands National Park, UT
The La Sal Mountains in the far background allow me to apply #MountainMonday
Photo is taken from atop the Shafer Switchbacks. The road below is common to both trails with Shafer branching to the left just before the cut of the deeper canyon in the center of the photo.
You may notice the white sandstone along the right top edge of that canyon—this is the "White Rim" from which the trail takes its name.

For my part, I could easily do without the post-office. I think that there are view few important communications made through it. To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life...that were worth the postage.
-- Henry David Thoreau (Walden)
All differences between groups have not disappeared; this is obvious. Yet they may progressively decline. Exactly for this reason, they assume increasing importance for individuals. It is the rootless, not the rooted, who fetishize their roots.
