Backcountry Skiing Utah - cant ski in the desert

We wanted to cut down the length of our drive tomorrow so decided to drive back to the San Rafael swell to hang out in Buckhorn Draw for a day. So there isn't any skiing in this post...sorry. We drove about 30 miles on a dirt road so we had to make some minor modifications to the RV...the microwave shook right out of the wall. We spent the day sight seeing, climbing around on rocks, etc.
  
The microwave went back in no problem...

Sean gave Rich a lesson on how to throw like a man from up here

Getting there: Take exit 131 off I-70 and head north on Co Rd 332 (Buckorn Draw Rd). Drive until you like the scenery. There are petroglyphs, rock towers, the Wedge and Little Grand Canyon, not to mention plenty of bouldering options.
