There is a very fine landscape and geologic/nature photographer, Ara Gureghian, who with his companion, Spirit - now a gentle Pit Bull rescued by Ara 3-years ago after a life of abuse and about to be put away, are full-time vagabonds. Here's Ara following his snapping some photos.
Check Ara & Spirit's blog site http://theoasisofmysoul.com/ to read about their adventures and see examples of Ara's awesome photography and read of his view of life and experiences. Be sure to peruse the archives section of his blog - you will not be disappointed!! Here's a photo of the master photographer with the volcanic La Sal Mountains behind.
For many years before adopting the RV lifestyle, Ara soloed in a sailboat. He is reported to be an excellent chef/cook and now works occasionally wherever he finds an opportunity to delight appreciative diners.
Ara and Spirit are inseparable, living in a RV Class C portable home and towing a trailer upon which is transported their BMW motorcycle/side car, which they use to see the local sights, etc., just as I do in my Jeep Liberty. In the sidecar rides Spirit, complete with doggels and a helmet.

As one proceeds from south to north up to and after traversing the flank, you enter Castle Valley where the Priest and Rectory/Nuns and Fisher Towers features become so prominent and magnificient.
Each time when visiting this area, I drive the Loop. Passing by the Priest and Rectory/Nuns area, I recall being with my youngest son, Bruce, (me awaiting at the bottom) as he and a climbing buddy summited the Priest. Recently, I received a report of the sucessful summiting of Sister Superior, one of the Rectory/Nuns, by a close friend of Bruce's. This photo includes Ara, Landon and the Priest and Rectory/Nuns. Sister Superior is at the left.
