Paul on our early morning hike near Bee Camp. We explored several
of the nearby stone canyons, and managed to find a route to the top of
the mesa east of camp. (But it was a scramble.) We also found a
great rock-skipping pond, and some pretty big flakes of rock to skip.
You'd be amazed at the size of some of the rocks we skipped...well
maybe not. |

Yow, what is it?! It's the Paul from the Black Lagoon! |

View off to Courthouse Pasture from the top of the mesa near Bee
Camp. This was one of the spots we tried when looking for a way to the
top of the mesa. There was about a one 100-foot cliff, and then a
mid-size stone bowl followed by another 50-foot cliff. Too much for us! |

Mike and Bob roughing it through breakfast at the
Bee Camp. |

Mike and Bob, still eating. |

Mike and Bob, still eating. Who needs to ride when there's
food left?! |

The Potty, Bee Camp. |

Happy Burb at Bee Camp. I took the "Above Bee Camp" picture
from the point on the mesa in the background. |
 |
Lawrence and Bob climbing the mesa east of Bee Camp. This is sort of
like a where's Waldo--can you find our climbers? The road to Bee Camp
follows the stream along the bottom of the valley floor in the background. |
 |
An undisturbed white sand dune on the top of the mesa east of
Bee Camp. You see a lot of red sand in Moab, but this was one of the
first white sand dunes I've gotten to see. It probably came from
decomposing Entrada Sandstone, which is white, rather than the Navajo
Sandstone which is red. This shot is indicative of the pristine
beauty we found on top of this mesa. |
 |
I call this one "Above Bee Camp" and it's really aimed at those
who've had the pleasure of camping there. I (Mike), Lawrence, and Bob
spent our last half-day in Moab climbing the mesa next to camp. It
was terrific up there, nearly untouched. This is the view of Bee Camp
from the spur most directly over head. 2-300 feet up? |
