Cayuse and I have been discussing having a WtW meetup in beautiful Utah.
 
I was leaning towards Valley of the Gods, but he pointed out, not much for good hiking there and suggested Cottonwood Canyon / Grand Staircase / Escalante area.
I've not been there (except for my recent cannonball run through it)  
It looks great! Possible campering location?  37°14'26.8"N 111°55'15.4"W

location is subject to change if we all decide someplae else in lovely Utah works better for us all. * * We are also lookng into doing a day of Group Volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary Kanab, if there is sufficient interest here!

As I get braver I get stronger, and as I get stronger I get braver. It’ a good cycle.

We may be in the area around then, but probably with the travel trailer. Heavy duty boondocking will more than likely be out.

The coordinates that are on the post are fairly close to 89 at the south end of Cottonwood so depending on the tracel trailer chances are  you should be able to make it in there.

A little bit east of there, other side of the river.

Great idea!

 

We're taking a week off in August to reconnoiter the John Day Country in Oregon and another week in November to explore KOFA & hit Joshua Tree on the way back home.

 

We'll see if we can squeeze Utah in between.

The wife and I will be in the area around that time, may swing by. How many rigs will fit in that area? If you get much rain you may want to relocate, that road it like ice when muddy. Alstrom Point is  another fantastic spot to camp with great scenic views over Lake Powell.  Ron

Rain will definitely require a relocation!  There are some places as you go up over Buckskin MT. on the other side of 89 that could also support a group.  As for how many rigs, not sure but on the other side of the road on the backside of the fins.monoliths there are more places that could be used this was just thrown out as a possibility if it looks like lots of people are coming the location might need to be adjusted accordingly.

Closer to Kodachrome Basin SP would not be a bad thing.
