War Bonnet reflections

Pingora doubled for twice the fun!

The classic view of Warbonnet from the camping area. For the same shot in the morning, check out this [[105861678]]! Which photo was taken first? This one was taken in 1984.

Incredible place!

A break-down of the license plates by state in the Big Sandy Opening parking lot. Utah (32%), Colorado (25%), and Wyoming (14%) were the top three plates, with California (7%) and Idaho (7%) coming in next.

July 2014: Which county sheriff to call for overdue climb parties ... and 911 will eventually get one to the right folks as well. (Ignore the purple line.)
