Every sentence will make you think plus Abbey really knew how to write. May also make you want to move to a small house trailer in the desert.

Looking forward to that book as I ordered it recently. It won't arrive soon enough.. I went there to experience this place for it's wonder and beauty. It's hard to see how much has changed though in twenty years since I was last there. More like a playground than a national treasure.

I've stopped going to Moab except during off-season times like October/November. Arches has become like Disneyland with the crowds. Lately we have been going to Fruita, Colorado which is only a little further and about half the costs and no crowds. Same quality trails to run and outdoor awesomeness.

I don't know if you listen to audiobooks or not, but the audio version of Desert Solitaire is great. The reader is perfect for Abbey's crankiness.
