Camping outside of Green River,Utah. Great place and its free. Its also the take-out for Desolation and Gray Canyon river trip.
T-bone. Deep thought.
The put-in at Green River State Park.
The old bridge from the turn of the century. Green River,Utah.
Crystal Geyser. A weird sight out here in the desert. Pretty cool.
Some crazy old shack in the desert.
Its cool to watch the scenery change from desert to canyon country.
First nights camp on the river. By Dellenbaugh's Butte
Dellenbaugh's Butte(Anvil) at left,looking south towards the slickrock of Moab.
Sweet hangout above camp.
These were good.
The second day was a little cloudier and colder.
Very old waterwheel.
Great side-hiking in Three Canyon.
Tom,passed out. Nobody around for miles and miles. Had the place to myself,it was awesome.
We camped on this super cool,tiny sand island on the second night. We had my satellite radio and firepan with us-so we had a great time.
Third day was super nice. Very warm and no clouds.
Not sure what the story with this figure is,but i know its been there since before the 40's. This was at the river register,where your allowed to carve your name in the rock. We obliged. 
An inscription from an expedition in 1909. Almost 100yrs old and still looks good.
The saddle at Bowknot bend. You can see the Green river on both sides here. There's also an amazing picture of this area in the March 08 edition of National Geographic Adventure,p.66. We just so happened to have the copy with us for reading material.
The Green on both sides of Bowknot bend. It takes 7 river miles to get from the Green in the right side of the photograph-to the Green on the left side. It's a huge bend.
A great camp on the bend. Our third nights camp was on this perfect beach. We had a bonfire,drank many cerveza's and even saw a wicked,green meteor.
Another view of the saddle at Bowknot bend,from the opposite side.
There's a cool,ol dirt airstrip located right by the take-out. It also happened to be mentioned in the same issue of National Geographic Adventure too. Crazy. It's a good,little write-up about backcountry shuttles and how rare and unique they are. It's usually somethin unique to only Alaska,but Idaho and Utah have a couple of these old airstrips still in use. I really wish i would've done my shuttle this way. The article is on page 67,next to the superb picture of Labyrinth Canyon itself.
We made it. 68 miles and four days later.
And a super steep,scary drive back up to the rim from the take-out.As usual,my cousin Tom and I got the itch for some desert fun. I suggested we float this 68mile section of the Green River in Utah,since my ultimate goal is to float the entire Green River through Utah. We started from Green River(the name of the town and the river) and floated south down to Mineral Bottom,near Canyonlands and Moab. It's probably some of the flattest water i've ever seen. Not even a ripple for 68 miles. But the scenery and solitude definitely made up for it.
