FRETWATER: Wasatch Plateau Aspen Color Tour
http://www.fretwater.net/2014/09/wasatch-plateau-aspen-color-tour.html
True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. September 21, 2014. Wasatch Plateau Aspen Color Tour. If wonderful-ness were a tree. I thought we saw big Aspens a couple years ago on Table Mountain in Nevada, but these were much bigger. Despite 100 miles of dirt road I was glad that the old '77 ran like a faithful steed yet again, carrying us to the hinterlands of Utah for a dose of fall color tailgate camping. Big tree.little hugger. The faithful steed waits. Biggest aspen I've ever seen.

FRETWATER: Wilderness in the Water
http://www.fretwater.net/2014/09/wilderness-in-water.html
True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. September 3, 2014. Wilderness in the Water. This summer, as the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act approached, I was reminded of a trip I did a couple years ago when an interesting aspect of wilderness first occurred to me. I would say this is the way it's supposed to happen, but all too often in our day and age this annual wildness of the rivers is tamed by the placement of dams. Where we are tonight the river roars and foams like a wild beast.

FRETWATER: High Uintas - E. Fork Blacks Fork
http://www.fretwater.net/2014/08/high-uintas-e-fork-blacks-fork.html
True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. August 13, 2014. High Uintas - E. Fork Blacks Fork. While Lisa and I were crossing the Highline Trail our favorite part was what we patched together between the East Fork Blacks Fork and Red Castle. To put it all together was a memorable trip of fantastic scenery.and a reckoning of sorts with the lightning that scared me senseless in Oweep in summer 2013. Will write about that, and more, later this winter when I have some time. Mile 0 of 46.

FRETWATER: Origin of Fretwater
http://www.fretwater.net/2008/05/origin-of-fretwater.html
True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. May 26, 2008. Fretwater is the name of a rapid in Desolation Canyon, named by explorer John Wesley Powell in 1869 after his expedition wrecked a boat there. Powell travelled nearly 1000 miles down an uncharted river naming things as he went. Fretwater is one of my favorite John Wesley Powell place names. It's also a good one word description of the events in 2008 that led me to start this collection. When I hear the name Fretwater. How I chose the name.

FRETWATER: March 2015
http://www.fretwater.net/2015_03_01_archive.html
True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. March 31, 2015. The Robbers Roost country! I have taken the liberty to refer to it as everything draining into the Dirty Devil River from the east. Its a wild piece of country that always delivers a great adventure and usually the kind of beating that makes beer taste damn good. Links to this post. March 16, 2015. Thwarted by The Maze. A 75 degree forecast for redrock country in March is enough to make a Salt Lake City local roll out.

True stories from 16 years of rangerin' and ramblin'. June 1, 2014. Have you ever noticed that epic trip ideas are sometimes born on epic trips? In August 2010 Lisa and I sat on top of Wheeler Peak, in Nevada, at 13,000' looking across Hwy 50 at the obscurity of Mt. Moriah Wilderness when the idea to "check it out" was born. Mt Moriah from FS road #469. Mexi-Slop on the tailgate. Coffee b'none campsite and the faithful steed. The Table - and north to Deep Creeks. West to Schell Creeks. Love the site pal&...
