On the flip side, I think plenty of people here can attest to having completely underwhelming, frustrating, and downright incorrect diagnoses and experiences with medical professionals in addition ...

"Escalante and the Waterpocket Fold"
Great images Brendan. I especially like the one featured here...the blocks sitting in the river. I can't wait to get out there soon. I typically spend about 15 days in the area every summer ...

Re: Engine know-how does not replace good knot skills
