Keep working at it … it takes time, but you’ll get there! Don’t be afraid to ask questions, introduce yourself to everyone and get your name out there. And, of course, I’m only a Skype call away if you need a personal cheerleader.

I can’t believe it’s been 10 months either – that’s awesome!

Hey – It’s good to be catching up with your plans – Now that I’m off the AT until next year I have more time to visit. Things will move just the way they’re supposed to for you – Good luck!

I live in Utah and have visited the Swell a few time. It is a very soothing and romantic place to visit. Plan to go again this fall to take pictures of the rock art. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the area. Many more places to visit in Utah that are just as spectacular.

Hi Amiee, I just discovered your blog, read the whole thing, and let me tell you it is AWESOME. I just finished grad school and for the past couple months, I’ve been thinking about getting a subaru and living out of it in red rock country…. And then I discovered your blog! So inspiring!

Comment on What NOT To Do On Desert Road Trips by climbingguy

In the desert, normally small things like running out of gas, or getting a flat which you can’t fix, or blowing a radiator hose can be a really, really big deal. People conditioned to living in a world filled with people and technology and instant communication cellphones routinely underestimate how quickly you can get into deep, deep trouble if your car stops, for whatever reason.
Get yourself a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) and stick it in your glove box. Batteries last for 5 years. It will save your life, and the lives of others with you if needed.

Ha! Just took my first desert road trip (mini one through Joshua Tree), and can definitely vouch for the importance of following these “don’t”s!
