MADFOG

Updating with the 2024 MADFOG to Salt Creek Canyon and River House in southeast Utah. Team members were Frank Prince, Mukul Juneja and Stan Rowland. A 19 mile day hike led us to the elusive All American Man panel….

Another great MADFOG journey to Nowhere, Utah. We initiated several new members: Nate Hines, Alex Bracht, Jeff Stengel. Third trip for veterans Mike McBride and Mukul Juneja.

Dark and incredibly starry skies, incredible archaeology, challenging off roading and route finding, epic campfire conversations. I’m blessed to join these adventurers this year…

Swedish Fish Are the Ultimate Backpacking Candy These little Scandanavian gummies have earned a permanent place in our packs. Why? Let us count the ways.

Awesomely gruesome.

The 10 Worst Ways to Die in the Wild There are countless ways to meet your end in the great outdoors. These are ten of the most unpleasant, ignominious, and terrifying ways to go.

Happy MADFOG birthday to Frank Prince, who has been on more adventures with us than any other human being. To infinity and beyond!

Tony Vienna, veteran of The Subway slot canyon in Zion National Park and Bear’s Ears National Monument. Tony has morphed from business partner to trusted adventure partner and now watches over the old guy when we travel together. Strong, resourceful and ready to tackle any challenge and solve any problem…

Almost done with the MADFOG Mug Shots collection…

Matt Olson in a quiet moment on the Green River. Matt and his buddies took MADFOG to a new level of crazy and the rowdy fun resulted in the loss of 50% of the group’s cellphones, which were useless along the river anyway. Right after the trip, the west side of Labyrinth Canyon was designated as a wilderness area.

And then, that canoe trip down the Green River where these guys cooked the most incredible meals and served me from a well-stocked bar every night. Even though the winds blew us back upstream most of the time, and we got a good dose of rain and snow, it was an epic adventure through Labyrinth Canyon.
