Less than a month before the journey begins!

Hello world!

My name is Lance Nelson Porter. On October15, 2014, I'm going to throw my camping gear into the back of my truck and go on a two-month walkabout through southern Utah and Arizona.

My primary goal is a fantastic rock formation called the Wave, in northern Arizona. It's not easy to get to the Wave. It's three miles from the nearest road, and there is no trail. Additionally, the Bureau of Land Management only issues 20 hiking permits to the Wave per day. 10 are issued three months in advance, via an on-line lottery. (I tried that - no luck.) The other 10 are issued on a same day basis at the Kanab, Utah office of the BLM, again by lottery. That's my last chance.

I invite you to join me on my journey! I'm going to chronicle my adventures right here in text, photography  and video. Come on along!
