# Soapstone - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/ - Published: 2015-09-20T15:04:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout A mostly cloudless Fall day awaits those who slowly awaken this morning. I jump start my motor and head for the Uinta Mountains, ready to ride the fury of [Soapstone basin](http://alltrails.com//trail/us/utah/soapstone-basin?autologin=1). [[ Small groups of hunters gather around camper trailers, drinking morning coffee huddled next to a burning fire. [the_ad id=”6336″] I dress in bright red to avoid an arrow or trigger happy bullet, and the pedals turn. [[ The inclines are deceptively steep, and my water supply is quickly drenched. My lungs scream to be ripped from my body cavity, and filleted upon the open ground. I cough and wheeze as the autumn leaves laugh. [[ I push past the pain, blackout the cries to stop, and let the momentum carry me upward. A lone red tail hawk soars and circles above me, it’s tail shining brightly. My beacon of safety is a sign from the Great Mother. I heed the message, climb the last hill, and look over the great Soapstone Basin. [[ Then with a fury of adrenaline, I fly down the backside of Mother Nature, whipping past the trees in a frenzy of untitled joy. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Soapstone&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fsoapstone%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/soapstone/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
