4/21/08 … 2:14 p.m.
I know I’m no longer in Southern California when, flying in to Grand Junction, instead of the usual freeways, I see mesas and rock bluffs pushing out to the distance like massive wooden tabletops. A ridge of rock bluffs rises up to the plane as we land. The bluffs are tall, standing up against the dry desert atmosphere like sentries. The plane touches down. Beyond the tarmac, I can see the desert. It has a glassy sheen to it in the afternoon light.
I’m here for a Land Rover Adventure, a two-day excursion into the canyonlands of Utah, Off-roading in Land Rovers. It’s a rare chance to experience a part of the country that I’ve never seen before, on the backs of the world’s most competent vehicles. I’m hoping for a memorable trip.
