Lost, while following Butch Cassidy

Started early (camping), with a hike
overseeing Green River and the split rock.
Hiking on the trail with the poetic names:
The Desert Voices and Sound of Silence.

Joined the guided tour, going over the
book of history, with the pages of 150 to
100 million years ago (was only 90 minutes).

The scenic back-way to the outlaw country.
I don't want to miss that.

Towards Diamond mountain. First stop down
another Canyon.

As mentioned yesterday, about the small chain reaction
of destruction.
Nearly all trout was close the extinction due
to the so many dam's and controlled water streams.
That's why they build a million dollar fish hatchery
in Jones Holes.

By the way an amazing drive down
Jones Hole (what's in a name ?)

and a still better, hike down the Jones Creek to the Green River. 

Further, Crouse Canyon and Brown's Canyon.
This seems the area where for the outlaws.
(Perhaps still so, every where signs of no
trespassing).
The outlaws where hiding, or knew escape route
between the mountains that no followers would
find (forget the modern (?) road).

Browns Canyon, the perfect landscape for an outlaw
movie.

Half way, there was a long suspension bridge
over the Green River, just wide enough for one car.
Walking over it was scary. The strong wind and the
long distance made a perfect joy ride.

But, Duvelke made it.

By then it was rather late, and Jarvie's Ranch
and Green River Ferry, started in 1880, now
a historical side, was a perfect camping spot.

Good that I did some shopping over lunch,
to replenish with UINTA, Cutthrout Pale Ale.
