Today Z and I went out to rattlesnake arches. It was a 13 mile “drive” that required high clearance and 4wd. We rented a truck with this in mind but my god the drive was like barely a path for the big horned sheep. There were quite a few dicey parts. I was just the passenger.
The hike itself was all right. It was great to the canyon where we finally saw all these majestic arches. we never saw another person. It was so remote. It was 3 miles in and then we had to go back.
On the way back to the car, the weather started turning. So we were basically doing this terror drive while racing a snowstorm. We made it off the crummy road just as it really started snowing.
On the way up we saw the first person we’d see all day. They were going the other way- up into the mountain. Now it’s 4pm maybe there’s 2 more hours of daylight if you’re lucky. And they’re not in a high clearance vehicle, they’re in a fucking Tesla. And we try to like let them know “uhhhh no!!” But they drove right past us. There’s no way that car made it. I hope they have emergency stuff. Their battery won’t last the night. Like yeah they probably have more money than sense but I don’t necessarily want them dead. Hopefully they have a satellite phone or something for when they inevitably got stuck. Still. I’ll probably be looking at the papers to see what happened to this person.
Anyway we’re back to Utah tomorrow. We’re driving to Moab.
