Where are you, Jack? I'm in central Idaho and am ashamed to have not yet hit
the Canyonlands. Awesome country. Lots of folks here swing down that way in
the Spring. The landscapes and secret spots are mind boggling indeed. Lot of
fusing inspiration too I bet.

Hey Jacques, ever go on any adventures to the canyonlands area? I know
some real special places down there. Not the ones in the tourist books.
Stop by and pick me up, we can split the gas.

I'm in Salt Lake. The Canyonlands are a great place to get away to.
Lot's of inspiration.

Central Idaho? Stanley?

Not quite that remote. Blaine County, Ketchum area .... once a great place,
now sinking into the terminal mire of development and 'progress'. Actually
this place was remote and slow paced once upon a time... but nobody much
remembers those days, beyond a few of my cohorts. When I finally move away I
will miss Baldy.... but the rest of the area is no longer unique nor
charming, except to realtors....;-) Fortunately, the Idaho backcountry is
still pretty wild and that's always been my muse....Sawtooths, Pioneers,
Boulder-White Clouds, etc....and the great rivers too, of course, especially
the Salmon

"once a great place, now sinking into the terminal mire of development
and 'progress'."

That type of area is sometimes referred to as a "yuppie urban ghetto".
Teluride, Moab, the list goes on. Nice places, but somewhat
disheartening if you watched the changes happen. The last time I saw my
father alive I advised him to go a bit out of the way and see the
headwaters of the Salmon on his way back to Michigan. He died a few
months after that but at least he got to see one of the Crown Jewels of
the west.

I discovered Stanley Lake in 1978. Beautiful area. Also remember a place
called 4th of July Creek. Done a good bit of mushroom hunting in the
area. Traveled up to Sun Valley a few times for my son's hockey
tournaments. Fun town.
