Re: Canyonlands National Part, White rim road for a week
what im lookin at for a water container

they also have the 7 gallon i was originally (and still might get) at the army suprlus store for around 15 dollars
its the material that most tailgating coolers are made up. that hard plastic
im not sure whether to get a mini stove for hiking use or a bigger for camping use that can hold two pots
reason for the smaller is it wont take up as much space and will do the job right

of course im gonna need some cookware but i think only a stirfry pot will suffice

Re: Canyonlands National Part, White rim road for a week
I am more partial to the three burner stoves for car camping. Mainly because I like to be able to cook breakfast and make coffee at the same time. The stoves don't take up that much room and are pretty easy to find places where it will slide in. I wouldn't want to take one backpacking though. :D I have seen people do that. :hillbill: :shake:
Re: Canyonlands National Part, White rim road for a week
Three is nice. Two, IMHO, is essential for car camping. Gotta have my coffee. :D
Looks like a great list so far Blake.
Oh yeah, and DON'T FORGET TO PUT YOUR CARD INTO YOUR CAMERA!!! LOL, I want to see the pics.

I doubt you'll need lockers.
I did this trail years ago with my dad's old '95 chevy blazer (talk about a low pOS). Looked like this:

Who knows...if you have them make sure they are ready to go. Several us found out the hard way earlier this year that some of the trails there had changed quite a bit from what we remembered due to some of the heavier rains they have had.

Re: Canyonlands National Part, White rim road for a week
oh and im curious, any rules against beer out there? not like im gonna waste myself out there. just have a beer while im listenin to music and look at the stars or something.
Re: Canyonlands National Part, White rim road for a week
Rules AGAINST beer? Blasphemy! Good lord no man!!! I'm shaken just at the thought.
Of course you can enjoy beers. It wouldn't be a camping trip without it.
Seriously, I need to go meditate and find my center now. Not cool.
