I'm interested in what people who drive the country "live" in. I've often thought about the nomadic life but I think it's just a pipe dream for me now.

I couldn't hear any buzzing in the audio as I listened to this video through speakers at a modest volume. I love watching your adventures. They help to keep me sane in these insane times.

    Goblin Valley is awesome. But it's a lot easier to appreciate it in person. It loses a lot of its awe and intrigue on video. And this is just a drop in the bucket of the amazing variety of scenery Utah has to offer. And, yes, this is where the planet scene from Galaxy Quest was shot.

Goblins surely fits these unique formations. Thank you, enjoyed this so much.

    Just nitpicking, it's Goblin Valley State Park (not Goblin State Park.) Yeah, the guy who named the place thought they looked like goblins. I thought they looked like mushrooms. My girlfriend (who hated mushrooms), thought they looked like... poop. The place is about halfway between I-70 and Capital Reef National Park on Utah-24. It's on the way to the start of Utah-12, one of the most scenic drives I've ever been on. (From Capitol Reef National Park to Bryce Canyon National Park. Definitely in my top 5 roads to drive...) It's one of the least light polluted areas in the country. If you're into stargazing, you might consider staying in the campground. (The nearest lodging is in Torrey, by Capitol Reef.) The last time I was there, the zip code had something like 2 people living per square mile...
