So there are some similarities between this trip and the trip I took to the desert last year with Nate and the dogs. Once again we visited Death Hollow. I really felt driven to try some new places but we really wanted to take the dogs along and there are a limited number of places in the desert where this can take place.If the regulations don't rule out the possibilities the terrain typically will. Death Hollow is really a very hospitable place despite its name. The plan was to leave SLC around 3:00. Naturally we didn't make it out until closer to 5:30. I really suck at packing for these things. We intended to car camp the first night just outside of Boulder but due to our late departure we ended up camping between Scipio and Aurora, very near the same place Nate and I camped last year on our way to Escalante.
