On this page you will eventually find personal experiences from our desert adventures. These may be stories, poems, Haiku, rants, sketches, photos or any other form of expression that will work on a web page. It may someday be in the form of a Blog.

Goodbye to Dewey Bridge- It was burned down by a kid playing with matches. Yes, its true.


The first story for this page is in progress- it is a summary of the events that began on 27 May, 1998 near Cortez, Colorado. On that day three individuals, Jason Wayne McVean, Robert Matthew Mason, and Alan Lamont Pilon finalised plans to steal a water truck from Ignacio, Colorado. On the morning of 29 May they began driving the truck west, towards Utah. And so began the largest and most expensive manhunt in the history of the west. Read more about this on our Four Corners Manhunt page.
