Picture Update

We are in Green River doing chores today. The weather is looking up and we are going to pick David up this evening. For now it's the Laundromat, groceries, LP gas filling and an oil change.

Catching up from where we left off at Escalante State Park.....

Big Hollow Reservoir at our camp at Escalante

A hike along Calf Creek on Sunday morning

We found an old cliff dwelling from the Anasazzi people along one of the rock walls

Life grows in the most unexpected places in the rocks and desert

These are the cliffs at Capitol Reef National Park. Two plates on the earth's crust pushed together and formed a 90 mile long ridge. Over the millenniums erosion has exposed the layers of the earth's crust and all of the colors of the various layers are displayed.

We found rocks of all shapes and sizes along here. 

Ancient and native people left their mark on the cliffs here.

The Egyptian Temple. One of the huge rock formations left over time.

I told you!

Hiking through a narrow canyon. Nancy is at the bottom of the picture. The cliffs towered over us for a couple of hundred feet.

Petroglyphs along the rock walls

A family raised ten children in this small cabin. And you thought we were crazy!!

Oh giver me a home where the deer and the turkeys play.
