Wile E. Coyote is a handcarved stamp and a handmade journal.

Going north out of Moab, Utah, on hwy 191, I turned left onto hwy 313 toward Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands. Immediately I passed a viewpoint but I kept going. The road curved and twisted upward through steep red walls and tall red rock cliffs – perfect roadrunner and Coyote country! At about 4.4 miles after turning onto this road, I came to the Monitor and Merrimac Viewpoint, so named for the twin buttes rising from the canyon floor looking for all the world like the two historic Civil War ships. I stopped in the 3rd parking space near the information kiosk, and directly ahead slightly up the hill was a large rock, sort of shaped like a boat, with the left end cracked off. After reading all the historic information and walking out to the point to take in the view of the twin buttes, I trotted coyote-like around toward the back of this large boat-shaped rock, and that’s where I found a perfect coyote den, behind two rocks that make a sort of little “seat” almost at the center of the back near the base of this large rock. That’s where you can find me, tucked in beneath the base of the rocks and behind a few smaller flat stones to protect me from view. You can find me there, that is, if I’m not out chasing that blasted roadrunner! I really hate that beep-beep sound. One day, roadrunner, one day ….
Please be careful not to be seen finding or replacing this letterbox, and I’ll appreciate your reporting its status. Thanks!
