I hate to do this: New Years 2018 with the Ancients

Dave, what a wonderful trip report. I can only say that at this moment 383 people have viewed the report and 375 are speechless.
You have put quite a challenge on your self, keeping the narrative as sharp and focused as the pictures. The best....

Incredible landsape, incredible history, incredible pictures. They should not be tucked away in an internet blog. Thanks for sharing, as always!

As always, excellent trip report, photos and narrative. You are a true adventurer!

That was done very well!
Absolutely stunning photography!
Nice report! :)

Loved it, Thank you.

You ARE the lucky one. Wonderful,x10, thank you.

What an absolute pleasure. You again, stir the heart and create dreams for many. My wife and I thank you.

Whazoo - I'm going have to disagree with you, I think this is your best pictorial yet!! Great trip report and between your new camera and great compositions and LR/PS skills you really ended up with a beauty of a trip report! Those ruins look exactly like the same ruins I led a workshop to photograph back about 15 years ago, (oh, just kidding, lol). Nice job hunting those down, I can only imagine all the work that goes into it, I would never release any information on the location! Keep them trip reports coming, you're the only one that doesn't enjoy them! Be safe my friend!

A real treasure Whazoo ... ancient ruins and art along with snow and ice in the desert. The ruins are especially amazing. It must have been quite an effort to haul all the building materials up onto those ledges. And I guess the poles must have come from the mountains?

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I'm DYING to get out in a camper again but since I sold the old one and am waiting on a new one, which is taking forever, I'm just, well dying. So thanks!
