    Army Kilt Pics

    My lady and I did some 4x4 exploring up in Utah yesterday. Headed up Cottonwood Wash road which sorta follows Cottonwood Creek - so named for all the cottonwood trees along its banks. Cottonwood Creek is a tributary of the Paria River which flows into the Colorado River.

    Needed some more pics of my USA Kilts Army tartan semi-traditional kilt so wore it. Tell you what...hiking around it got dusty and dirty. Got home, brushed it out, took a damp cloth to a couple mud spots, steamed it out with the Gizmo and it was good as new.



    This was taken in a place called the Narrows, a near slot canyon this little creek has carved out over the eons of time.



    This is Grosvenor Arch. Actually there are three arches. Two in front behind me and one around the other side of the rock.



    That's a bit of Cottonwood Creek in the lower right corner. Pretty typical of the terrain along the creek. The white isn't snow..its the salts that leech out of the creek water.

    A good trip, lots of fun. We also stopped in at Kodachrome Basin State Park but were soooo busy ooohing and ahhhing that we didn't take any pics.

    Great shots, Ron! Glad you're enjoying your US Army tartan - mine went to the Phoenixville PA Celtic Heritage Festival this weekend (and then on its maiden voyage into the washer - too much dog slobber to just spot clean). So when it comes time, know the PV on gentle cycle comes out nice - just hang and finger finish the pleats and once it dries (about 15 seconds in Zonieland) you're good to go!

    Great shots Ron! I love to see the different settings that you use there in the SW. My family visited that area when I was a wee'un on our annual trip out to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Every year we would take a different route and go through other states to get there and the biggest thing I do remember was the grandeur of the scenery. It impressed me then and still does!

    Oh boy, Ron. I can't wait to pick your brain a bit on places to see and things to do when we get out to AZ this August. Great pics!
