Train to Denver (Again)

I am taking the train from Provo to Denver again, much like I did in January 2011 to attend the AEA Meetings.  This time I'm leaving on Wednesday morning and coming back on Saturday.  I'll be going with Chase Coleman, one of my undergraduate students here at BYU, who is presenting a paper of ours at the Western Social Science Association (WSSA) Meetings.  The ride should be fun, albeit long.  It leaves Provo around 4:00 a.m., but the return from Denver is a more reasonable 8:00 a.m.  Look for a trip report when I get back.

Deseret News Columns

I've been writing a biweekly column for the Deseret News for a little over a year now.  You can find most of them archived at this link.  I also repost them after they have appeared in print at Econosseur, which is a blog jointly run by Rick Evans, Jason DeBacker and myself.

Cliffhouse Arch

I recently put up some photos on Photosynth from my earlier hike down the Escalante River in 2008.  This is a really cool way to look a scenery, especially rock art.

Here is the link for this set of photos.  For more of these, especially rock art, try this link.  Enjoy!
