We sold our house in Escalante. We had to move out by the end of November. It was a horrible amount of work. Too much crap. I was so tired of it by Sunday that I decided to run to the top of Antone Bench via the Roundy Trail. Well, run isn't really the word. It is about a 1600 foot rocky vertical slog to the top of the bench. I wasn't running so much as sweating and complaining and feeling sorry for myself. There was snow under the pondos on top of the bench and the wind was cold. I went over to the east side and looked out over the canyons of Mamie Creek and Death Hollow. It was a spectacular view all the way to the Henrys. Since it gets dark early in late November, I had to turn right back around and get off the bench before 5 pm. I didn't want to be scrambling down the trail after the sun set. Whew. Then it was time to turn in the keys and say goodbye to the Escalante house.http://picasaweb.google.com/aorlemann/AntoneBenchUtah#
