Balance

I should have posted this before "From The Road" but I didn't get around to importing the photos until just now, but whatever.

I have this strange obsession with balance. You know, like getting your tennis shoe to stand up on end in a shag carpet rug, or, finding the exact spot where a number 2 pencil will spin perfectly about the point of a nail. A little neurotic I know, but I'm OK with it.

So, last week a bunch of us went down to the Swell to hike some slot canyons and I totally got sidetracked with stacking all of the rocks that were around our camp. One stack turned into 2 stacks, 2 stacks inspired tall stacks, and then a far away stack. Before I knew it there was probably 7 different towers at various places near camp. Anyway, some pictures from the trip...
