Every so often someone starts a thread and comments that there are too many "negative" threads; while most here realize that the forum does attract a lot of Jeep or Parts complaints threads, why is my Jeep broken threads, and just some general snarking when opinions differ, it is sort of the nature of the interwebz.

Well, I don't want to bog down the "What Did You Do With Your Gladiator Thread?" and I'm not sure I'd call this a Trip Report, so my hope is to post this In the General Topics Section and that the mods will allow it to reside here. I'm going to post a bunch of pictures and share some stories over the next day or so and, if the mods allow it to stay here, then it will float to the surface for several days and maybe folks can get a smile and remember that the forum isn't always about "the last Jeep you will ever own." :LOL:

I'm also going to tag @WILDHOBO @RudeJeepin @chorky @azmojave @Rusty PW @NotSo Bright White @Charles 236 and @Hootbro since they reacted to the brief post I made in the "What Did You Do To Your Gladiator Today?" thread and figured they might like to know that I'm telling a bit more than a condensed version here...

With all that said, I'm retired and my wife is an Assistant Principal having several weeks off over the summer; so we tend to get away from the Arizona heat and head up into the mountains and wander around with no agenda other than to move up and down in elevation in order to regulate the temperature and avoid the rain. This is truly an extended camping trip (Overlanding?) with no intent for hardcore wheeling (we both have Wranglers for that).

So let's start with some Zion night sky. Zion gets a little busy for my preference so we tend to hang out in the Dixie National Forest just north of there and about halfway to Bryce Canyon. Supposedly, Zion has some of the least light pollution in all of the US:

We swept through Monument Valley and I'll let you google pics of there but we "swept" through so that we could head up the Moki Dugway (been there so many times I didn't take pictures) and we made our way out to Muley Point. Muley Point sits on the canyon rim north of Monument Valley and gives you a great view of Monument Valley that isn't typically seen:

The canyon rim is a pretty neat feature:

It is being eroded and undercut and these big blocks fall off:

And off course I'll throw in an obligatory camp shot:

Next we will drop back down the Moki Dugway and cruise through the Valley of the Gods

It's a latte made with half & half...
I was partially serious.. Coffee Black is the only way I drink coffee. I don't even know what's in a Latte other than what you said..I don't do dairy at all can't stomach it at all.

Roger that. Yeah, at the end of the day, all a latte is is coffee, sugar and dairy. Usually the sugar gets replaced by something froufrou like hazelnut syrup (or a hundred other flavors) and the dairy is steamed and frothed but can be replaced with soy milk, oat milk, skim, whole, whatever. LOL While my son was going to college, he worked at the Starbuck's that is about 100 yards from where we live, so I got well educated ;)

Huh, never heard of such a thing. I don't do Starbucks obviously. No offense but I will take my Cofffee black .. heck I drink a thermos of coffee daily . I am a dedicated coffee drinker. If I have a cup left in it in the morning I will drink it cold then fill back up with fresh black coffee. NOW I do go fishing and back packing etc.. and have made lots of cowboy coffee . If the coffee is ground fine it will froth up some.
I was thinking of getting myself a Turkish coffee pot for the task.
