    How grand the view
    Pinks, yellows and blues
    The mountains sing
    Their song of delight
    The beauty of the sun
    As it brightens the night
    And you washed in color
    Absorbing the sight
    How grand and beautiful
    In the evening light

    Catherine, you are doing something that I wish I had the guts to do when I was young. Now, at 70+, it’s no longer possible. Who was it that said: “Fear regrets. Never fear failure.” I guess my grandmother’s saying is most true: “Too soon old, too late smart.” You are a brave young woman who is pursuing her passion. I admire that. Keep following your dream and posting your video story!

      Keven, if you have the desire you can do it. In two months I will be 83 and I do this type of exploring quite often, if fact, I have been at the exact spot where Cat pitched her tent. I have had a heart attack, have had both knees replaced and have had my lower back fused. Everything hurts when I am out camping/exploring, but do you know what, everything hurts when I am "camped" in front of the TV. I have a travel trailer but haven't used it for four years since my wife passed from cancer. My preference is to travel in my 1995 GMC Suburban or my 2007 GMC Denali. I can do everything I want in either and they even give me more opportunity for back country exploring as both are 4 wheel drive. Remember, memories... not regrets or wishes! Good luck!

    One of my favorite things before my knees went bad was solo backpacking and bush-craft. You're absolutely taking life by the reins and doing it right. One of my most favorite areas in the U.S. is Moab and Canyonlands and I love getting out there yearly and Jeeping all over the beautiful landscapes. I love doing the La Sal Mountains Loop. Wonderful sunset vid...my favorite time of the day in any desert is those few fleeting moments at Sunset, especially when there are clouds and light rain. It brings out the vibrant colors of the desert although it all fades to darkness to soon leaving me wishing for an encore and looking forward to tomorrow's dusk. Cheers Catherine. Get some!

Although I am physically challenged, I am doing my homework, and planning a trip to Moab and all the surrounding areas in early May. I will also visit Mesa Verde in Colorado. I plan on a 10 day journey. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's you, who inspired me to get back " out there" and see places I had not been yet. Love you, and be safe! God Bless. 🙏😇

Got a good laugh on the ramen. I survived on too much of that stuff in my college dorm rooms when the dining hall was inedible. Bittersweet memories. Excellent video once again. However, I must especially comment on your choice of music at the close. While always great, you outdid your previous choices there. The sadness and parting conveyed via the music was spot-on! Praying that Almighty God continues to uphold, bless, guard, guide, and protect you in your adventures!
