Surrounded by the Amasa Back, Hurrah Pass, Anticline, and Dead Horse Point and with the Colorado River running alongside, you’ve discovered Base Camp. A one of a kind wilderness lodge.

Some Clarifications
This is me working on bookings at my desk with Jax's bed and Jax right next to me, as it should be. Heather called yesterday to say that there are comments on Facebook about Kobae about to have a friend apparently from the recent post about a lady calling me from Moab to tell me she found a tortoise, sent me a picture of it, and ask about it. That is never going to happen. Kobae is a lot of work and he's mean with attitude issues. For every five times we go hiking I save his life at least once because of the dumb stuff he does. His choice for what path to take is made from one foot off the ground and he's nearly always wrong so he's in trouble all the time. Four out of five times he gets out of it but once out of every five he doesn't and not only do I have to save his life but occasionally, once every couple of years, I put my life at risk saving his. Why would I want two of those? Second, we don't know until they are six or eight years old if they are male or female. If male Kobae would kill it first chance he gets and if female he would crush it the first time he tried to have sex with it. If you've stayed here you've seen what he does to the stairs. A second tortoise would be dead one way or the other first time it had contact with Kobae. I'm so far removed from thinking about having a second tortoise despite telling the lady I would go look at it I finally went to town this week and forgot to call her. Never, ever, going to happen.
