First Canyon of Trip - Larry Canyon

We have arrived SLC.
Monday night we are spending night in the bush in an area called Robbers Roost which is quite isolated. We are headed there now. Draw a triangle b/t Moab, green river ( a town) & hanksville. We are about in the middle of that. Near "Ekkers Ranch". Our specific campsite will be at the Alcatraz Canyon headwall tonight. No cell reception out there. It's 42 miles of dirt road to get to paved highway.

Tues am we plan on doing nearby Larry Canyon which should take 6 hrs. Then we will immediately hit Alcatraz for 4 hrs. I'm guessing we'll be breaking camp around 7pm tues night to head to Hanksville where we spend a night in hotel.

We will try to use the SPOT device to send you "all Ok" txt, email after we complete each canyon.

I'm guessing we'll arrive hanksville at 9pm-10pm.

If and only if you have not received an "all ok" from spot, email, txt, or phone by 8 am Mtn time ( 9am CST) Wednesday.... then start an official call-out. Shawn can assist as needed.

More instructions/schedule once we get into hanksville but the plan is for us to leave hanksville 6am'ish mtn time to hit Arscenic, Slideanide, & Constrychnine canyons ....all back to back...all day Wed. No cell reception. This 3 canyon cluster is located in the Poison Springs area, I believe in an area called " The North Wash". We will try to send SPOTS before and after each canyon.

Wed evening after completing these canyons we will head down the road to campouts at the "Sandthrax " campground but I'm unsure of cell phone reception anywhere in that area.

We hope the spot will serve purpose of notice for wed and thurs.

We will try to send a test Spot now
