We’ll Leave the Light On!

Goal 1: Enjoy Christmas break and bring in the New Year Goal 2: Hike, Hike, Hike Goal 3: Paint and fire pottery made at home (Cache Valley) We have been staying on our property in Hanksville sense the night of the 23rd, spending Christmas Eve and Day painting pottery and welcoming the stillness, letting the desert hold us for a while. This hide is part of that week and part of the rhythm. We may leave more hidden later through the week, but for now this one rests and needs a place for others to find it here. A dirt…

One Unforgettable Day Through Heart of Desert!

October 26, 2025 Goal 1: Reunite with cousin and Family from Canada Goal 2: End day at comedian show in Salt Lake City Goal 3: Show family new property Goal 4: Hide a couple treasures with Family This past Sunday was one for the books. We were up before the sun—out the door in Weston by 5:30 a.m.—coffee in hand and excitement in the air. By 7:30, we’d scooped up my cousin Lacoste, her husband Jeff, and their son Zane in Salt Lake City and hit the road heading south toward our favorite place—Hanksville. The drive was filled with stories,…

From Trails to Forever Place

August 31, 2025 We recently checked on this figurine and someone has taken it without posting :0( Makes us very sad!!! PLEASE, if you find a pot, please post or email stating found! Goal 1: Due diligence Goal 2: Exploring new trails Goal 3: Hide a treasure from a 10 year old grand-daughter This past weekend we headed down to Hanksville for one more round of due diligence before signing on our “almost” new property. Honestly, it’s already one of our favorite places to escape to. Wide open desert skies, endless trails, and those rugged landscapes that always call us…

Last Minute Cache Valley Shenanigans

July 28, 2025 Hiding pots (always a main goal) Goal 1: Warming up after surgery Goal 2: Scenery and Lifeforce Goal 3: collect dried cow pies for firing This ride wasn’t just about the scenery-it was about reclaiming something we both had missing: sense of normalcy. After weeks of healing – both from surgeries 2 weeks apart – we were both ready for a breath of fresh air again. We had spent too much time stuck inside, resting, managing pain, watching the world pass by. It defiantly starts to wear on a person, even if you know it’s necessary. So…

Goal 1: Create an event for the USU Anthropology Club This week, we returned to the fire- and the wild hills above Cache Valley- with two beautifully made pots by Trevor. The purpose that’s been guiding us from the start: spark wonder through the past, shared in the present. In collaboration with the Utah State University Anthropology Club, we placed two Fremont -style vessels in the mountains above Logan, Utah and Hardware Ranch. These pots are now resting quietly, waiting to be found by a new generation of seekers- students who carry with them a love for deep time, human…
