On October 15, 2014, I'm heading west on a two-month walkabout in southern Utah and Arizona. My ultimate aim is to see the Wave, a phenomenal rock formation in northern Arizona.
But, let's face it, the Wave is just a day trip. (You couldn't stay any longer if you wanted to - a hiking permit to the Wave is only good for one day. If you're lucky enough to get one at all!)
So what am I going to do the rest of the time? I'm going to hike every day. There are a million great hikes out there. I'm going to take pictures and produce little videos. I'm especially interested in ancient Indian rock art - I'm going to track down and photograph every petroglyph and pictograph I can.
I'm also going to Tai Chi. Just started it, and I'm fascinated by it.
Lastly, I going to play my flutes. I have two Native American flutes made by a Navajo craftsman named Jonah Thompson, both in D minor pentatomic. I'm a poor excuse for a musician, but they are very easy to play. On a good day, I can make them sound just right. Can't wait to play in the desert, home to the legendary Kokopeli, where the instrument was invented.
