Photo [Memorable Pictures] The Buckskin Gulch, Utah (3/5) by WM
2015.04.27 17:21
I submit this pictures just for a sample exhibition.
If there will be another competition in the future, this can be a good example.
I am not in the competition for the SNUCMAA award.
Please do not vote on this submission.
This was another memorable trip. I walked 20 miles of desert sand in a day in 10 hours.
I almost died there by dehydration but someone above must have given me the wisdom
and strength to reach the final destination safely at the end of the day.
This is only a part of 6 webpage series of the entire 20-mile-trip.
You can see the rest by clicking the links in the main article.
They are as much memorable as this one. If you have time, you are welcome to look through.
Upper Buckskin Gulch (3), Middle Entrance, and Lower Buckskin Gulch (1) Buckskin 上流 협곡(3), 중간 入口, Buckskin 下流 (1)

I continued on aloneand finanllay arrived at the Middle Entrance/Trail of the Buckskin Gulch at 12:14 PM, exactly 4 hours after the start at the Wire Pass Trailhead. Considering that Wire Pass Canyon was 1.75 miles and the Buckskin Gulch up to this point was 6.5 miles, I covered the entire 8.25 miles in 4 hours, giving me about 2 miles per hour speed. Because, in my case without the plan of overnight stay, the success depended on my safe arrival at the White House trailhead today, my pace (speed) was important. At this pace, I might be able to arrive at the destination at about 6:00 PM, providing that I could maintain my stamina with no unforeseen accidents. Up to the Middle Entrance, I knew that I did hurry up and I decided to keep it going in the same pace. Keeping the Arizona duo behind me was another safety measure for me. In case of any trouble, they will be arriving to me very soon as rescuers. I also had chosen Saturday because BLM had full reservations for today (Saturday) and tomorrow, placing more potential helps behind me. On the way down the upper (upstream) half of the Buckskin before the Middle Entrance, I had noticed several areas of openings where one could have climbed out with a reasonable rock climbing skills in case of sudden flooding of the canyon. Also, there were many distant corners in the rock walls away from the main flood channel that I could use to keep myself from being swept away. After having passed the Middle Entrance, I stopped for lunch and rest at 12:31 PM. My appetite wasn't good and the sandwich didn't taste good, something that are rare occurrences in my eating. To me, it was an easy diagnosis that I was in moderate-severe degree of dehydration. On the way in, I must have gotten behind in my drinking of enough water. After 15 minutes' lunch break, as I was leaving the lunch site , Jason and Don caught up with me. I kept them just in front of me for more picture taking without the tripod setup.  6월 23일 2007: 얼마전에 Don의 말에 의하면, 중간입구 (Middle Entrance/Trail) 가 얼마 남지않었다했었다.혼자 계속 걸어서 12:14 PM 에 중간입구에 도착했다. Wire Pass Trailhead를 아침에 떠난지 정확하게 4 시간후였다. Wire Pass Canyon이 1.75 mile이고, 여기까지의 Buckskin의 상류가 6.5 miles 이니, 지금까지 8.25 miles를 4시간에 걸었던 셈이다. 따라서 내가 한시간에 약 2 miles를 걸은 계산이다. 골짜기 안에서 밤을 보내지않고 하루만에 White House Trailhead에 도착해야되는 나의 경우에는, 나의 속도가 成敗를 좌우함으로 나의 걷는속도의 유지는 중요한것이였다. 만일 내 기력이 유지되고 기대치 않는 사고가 없다면, 지금까지의 속도로 목적지에 6:00PM 경에 도착할수있을것같었다. 여기까지 내가 좀 서둘러 달린것은 사실이였지만, 그대로 속도를 유지하기로했다. 지금까지 걸어내려 오면서, 군데 군데, 홍수의 경우에, 보통 암벽등반의 기술로, 골짜기를 탈출할수있는곳이 몇군데 있음을 발견했다 (딴 사람들의 여행기에는 없다고 했지만). 또 바위벽 사이의 여러군데에서 후미진 구석이 있어서, 홍수로 물이 찬경우에 급류에 쓸려내려가지 않게 숨을수있는곳이 생각보다 많음을 발견했다. 중간입구를 지나서, 12:31 PM에 점심과 휴식차 정지했다. 식욕이 없었고 가져온 sandwich가 맛이없었다. 이건 나같은 먹보에게는 드믈게 일어나는 현상이였다. 나는 어렵지않게 脫水症의 中半期쯤 되는 현상임은 스스로 진단했다. 지금까지 너무 서둘러서 몸이 더워졌었고, 물마시기에 소홀했었음을 깨닫게 된다. 15분 만에 점심을 반쯤만 마치고 떠날려는데, 먼저 헤어졌던 Jason과 Don이 따라왔다. 한참 같이 걸으며, 나는 뒤에서 그들을 넣으며 계곡의 사진을 찍었다.  12:09 PM, June 23, 2007: I was getting close to the Middle Trail. Please note the colors of the rock walls that change all the time. 중간입구에 가까워짐을 느낀다. 암벽의 색갈들이 수시로 계속 바뀐다.  12:10 PM: Large shelf formations. I would say this part of the trail just before the Middle entrance is most remarkable. If one does not have a lot of time or stamina, just enter the canyon through the Middle Entrance and tour this section. 커다란 선반들이 보인다. 중간입구 직전의 이부분이 Canyon중에서 가장 멋진곳으로 본다. 만일 시간과 체력이 부족한 사람이라면, 중간입구로 들어와서 이 부분만 보고 가도 아주 좋을거라 생각한다.    12:13 PM: It will take only 2-3 hours to see this part by entering and getting out through the Middle Entrance. Just remember that entering and leaving the Middle entrance could be dangerous. It's not an easy route. 중간입구로 들어와서 이부분만 보고 다시 나가는것 2-3 시간이면 충분할거다. 단지 들어오고 나가는길이 쉽지가 않다.  12:14 PM: Finally I walked into the Middle Entrance/Trail. Immediately, I identified the exit slope that I'd seen in the picture. This is a natural stairway-like steep slope in front (going up to the northern rim of the canyon). 결국 중간입구에 도착한다. 즉각적으로 사진에서 본 입구를 알아차린다. 앞에보이는 자연층계모양의 급사면이 그것이다.  12:15 PM: As I enter the Middle Entrance, this is the rock wall that greeted me. The exit route/wall is at left. 중간입구에 들어가면서 앞으로 마주치는 암벽, 밖으로 나가는 길은 여기사진 왼쪽 벽에있다.  12:15 PM: This is where I came in from upstream canyon. 내가 상류에서 들어온 입구.  12:16 PM: The gulch entrance toward southeast (down stream). 동남쪽 下流로 내려가는 입구.  12:16 PM: The entrance from upstream is between the left two rock walls. The slope left of the middle crack is the exit wall. 상류로부터의 입구는 왼쪽 두암벽사이. 가운데 crack의 왼쪽벽이 나가는길. 사진보다는 덜급한경사이다.    12:19 PM: Nothing unusual, but I added a few more pictures of Middle Entrance area for the future visitors to recognize. 별로 대단한 사진들은 아니지만 장래의 방문개을 위해, 중간입구를 알수있게 올렸다.  12:20 PM: The beginning of the lower half of the Buckskin. This is the mid-point of the entire Buckskin Gulch. 下半의 Buckskin Gulch가 시작된다. 여기가 전체 골자기의 중간점이기도하다.    12:24 PM: A few places before the lunch stop. 점심먹기전의 몇군데.  12:47 PM: Going with the Phoenix twosome after the lunch break of 15 minutes. Dusts arising from dried mud. 15분간의 점심겸 휴식후에 Phoenix에서온 두 젊은이들과 같이 간다. 마른 진흙가루부터 먼지가 인다.      12:53 PM: I was following them and took pictures. Pictures are much better with peoples in it. 뒤에 쫗아가면서 사진 찍는다. 이런 사진들은 사람이 나와서 비교가 될때 훨씬 실감나게 보인다.        13:05 PM: Jason, Don and Steven. Another resting stop and I join them. 쉬면서, Jason, Don, 과 나. 다음 webpage는 Buckskin Gulch 下半의 계속입니다.
