Tom's Utah Canyoneering Guide: Egypt 3 Slot Canyon, Escalante Hast thou a large thirst for Slot Canyons? Here you go. Miles of slots. Long sections requiring sideways shuffling. A journey of wonder through the bowels of the Navajo sandstone. Bring a rope and a harness, and you can finish with a short rappel into a pothole and a quick wade or swim. Scars have recently appeared on the final-rap arch from people pulling their ropes. DO NOT PULL YOUR ROPES OVER THE ARCH. Bridging near the start of Egypt3 Getting There: from Escalante, drive south down the Hole in the Rock Road 16.5 miles to a good dirt road on the left, signed to Egypt. The Start: walk back to the unimpressive gulley, and drop into its bottom. The Slot starts slowly and builds. After several hours of very stimulating redrock spelunking, the canyon opens out in a major way. Downclimbing a short ramp in Egypt3 The Final Section: head downcanyon from the arches. DO NOT pull your rope off the arch. Partner climbing is required to exit the potholes.

How to Avoid Being Fooled by Bad Maps Maps are big these days. Blogs and news sites (including this one) frequently post maps and those maps often go viral—40 maps that explain the world, the favorite TV shows of each U.S. state, and so on. They’re all over Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, and news organizations are understandably capitalizing on the power that maps clearly have in digital space: they can visualize a lot of data quickly and effectively. But they can also visualize a lot of data inaccurately and misleadingly. A map is not just a picture—it’s also the data behind the map, the methodology used to collect and parse that data, the people doing that work, the choices made in terms of visualization and the software used to make them. Education about using maps (and geography as a whole) is not thorough or common in U.S. schools. At the same time, the use of geographic information systems (GIS) has exploded as computers and software get more powerful and less expensive. Maps are still fun, even the inaccurate ones.

Backpacking Checklist ... and you'll never have to say "Oh, crap!I forgot to bring ____ ". Without a backpacking checklist, I inevitably forget something. Nothing can ruin a trip quicker than leaving behind a piece of important gear or some food. The following is a checklist that has worked well for me for most two and three season backpacking trips. To help you come up with your own backpacking checklist, consider consulting "The Complete Walker" , a book which goes into amazing detail about every possible thing you might need. 3-Season Backpacking Checklist Also, Double Check The Following... Note: For DAY HIKING, use the "Ten Essentials" as a checklist, along with the first aid kit. * Starred items: consider for colder climates or early/late season trips.
About PELAGIOS stands for 'Pelagios: Enable Linked Ancient Geodata In Open Systems' - its aim is to help introduce Linked Open Data goodness into online resources that refer to places in the historic past. Why do we want to do that? Well, we think it will make all sorts of other things possible, including new modes of discovery and visualization for scholars and the general public. Pelagios also means 'of the sea', the superhighway of the pre-industrial world - a metaphor we consider appropriate for a digital resource that will connect references to ancient places. A short (10 slide) presentation providing a compact overview of PELAGIOS 1 & 2 is available online here. Pelagios is a collective of projects connected by a shared vision of a world - most eloquently described in Tom Elliott’s article ‘Digital Geography and Classics’ - in which the geography of the past is every bit as interconnected, interactive and interesting as the present.
