Devil's Garden again
Here we are with Brian (l) and Jeff (r)--our Search and Rescue Team
Looking down the "pour" into Egypt 3 (slots)
Cath and Me with our new "Hostiinella" shirts--the ones that jinxed us!
Inside part of the Egypt 3 slotJune 12-15 Cathy, Steve, Rob and I went to Escalante to do some day hiking. I wanted to check out more of the Hole in the Rock area. I love that place! Well, I got to know it a lot better than I expected! Rob and I got separated and though Cath and Steve made it back to the car, Rob and I got lost. Yup! Lost. We wandered in the desert for almost 24 hours before being found by some hikers looking for us and then, a bit later, Search and Rescue. We were grateful to be found alive, I can tell you that! It was definitely a life changing experience. Adds a whole new meaning to the title of my blog--Life is Good. In spite of the ordeal, the area we hiked in was beautiful. It was in the Egypt 3 area, and is has a very long, very narrow slot canyon. Before getting lost we had a really wonderful time!

Cool pics!
Oh my gosh, you got lost for nearly 24 hours?! That is absolutely NUTS!! I'm glad you were found! :) I'm also glad that you posted again after so long. Cara and I were talking the other day about whether or not you would ever post again!
We are so happy that you are home and SAFE. But a good story, and really good pictures. I want to go there someday. But I am a little nervous! :)

You are never going to teach Orienteering at Girls Camp again! Ha!
