Price River and Beckwith Peak in Utah


My favorite old picture.  These trees and this cabin are no longer there.  The river washed them downstream shortly after I took this picture in 1977.  The dirt here is just silt and the river gets some very big floods occasionally.

Reflection of Old Cabin on Price River in 1977

Well framed reflection of old cabin on the Price River at Woodside in Emery County.  This cabin and tree are no longer there as they were taken shortly after this picture was taken in 1977.  The river has since changed course even more and has moved I would say at least a quarter mile to the south.  Without this picture one would never know there used to be a cabin and tree on the river at this location.  Please notice the beach or shore also in the picture.  The beaches are no longer on the river.  Willows grow right up to the water's edge seemingly the whole length of the Price River in this area.  I have also noticed that on the San Rafael River.

Looks like a gateway entrance.

In the distance about twenty miles away is a long bluff or mountain. These two bluffs on the right and left seem to not only frame the distant mountain but also provide a gateway. If you look closely at the right and left bluffs you may be able to see profiles of faces. They are there but are hard to see on this reduced image. This not only makes a good landscape photo but is also a good rock art formation.

Sternface Crop

This is a cropped image of a picture I took of a rock formation that I call Sternface. This is the crop that the previous sketch was made from. This stoneface in the Uinta Mountains of Utah may be a carving or representation of God to the Native Americans. The Native American words for God are Towats and Shinob. Towats being Father in Heaven and Shinob being the Savior.

Sternface Sketch

Here is a sketch of Sernface. We have named him Sternface because he looks kind of mean or stern. This is actually a rock formation in Utah in the Uinta Mountains and is known as stoneface on USGS topo maps. I will post a regular photo of this sketch so you can get a better picture or idea of what he actually looks like. Sternface is the most popular of almost 100 pictures that I have posted on redbubble.

I dare you to do things

From page 13 of I Dare You. William H. Danforth quoting Colonel E. L. Daley.

"No longer will you step aside to let crusaders by. Others shall step aside for you because you are now a crusader. You have the ability to do things. You know where you are going. The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.
