Mas Gooseberry Mesa Por Favor

23 01 2008

I can’t get enough and it’s not going to stop anytime soon. The Gooseberry stuff, I mean. I’m an addict. It’s beyond my control.

Karl Burns posted a link to some pics he took on the Inaugural Gooseberry 100k Report in the comments section. I then borrowed some pointers to make them “pop” from pro outdoor photographer Adam. Here are my faves:

Dug, Paul and Myself waiting for the detoured group to catch back up and in no hurry to go anywhere. See how happy and peaceful Dug looks, that’s what a day on or around Gooseberry Mesa will do to you. I mean, wow! look how beautiful it is and the weather, don’t get me started on the weather.

Barely walkable in sections but tons of fun.

Nice silhouette of Dug pondering his place in the universe. Yup, that’s what he told me he was doing.

Gooseberry sucks. The Jordan River Parkway Trail is WAY better.

I think you might need to take the photo-tweaking down a notch or two, unless the shangri-la that is Gooseberry Mesa really does grow blue bushes.

Ditto on the J River P Way! No pesky rocks, dirt or slopes to worry about. Just good, pedestrian-ramming fun.

Soooo Jealous. Its wet outside and I’m at work but these pics help remind me why we do it.

KK-That’s the one photo I didn’t edit. There really are blue bushes up there.

Brad, I’m talking about the 3rd photo down. Here’s the original photo. Those bushes in the upper left have a slight blueish tint in the original, but in your image they are deep, bold blue.

Maybe you could use the “Blue Bushes of Gooseberry Mesa” as a tourist attraction. People will come from around the world (and stay in your nearby yurts) to view this miracle of nature. :-)

KK-I was there and the bushes are blue and so was my face.

innovatel-Thanks!

Kerry-I’m thinking March some time. I will keep you posted.
