Yesterday we checked out Dead Horse State Park. Got a few pics, of course, but was a bit disappointed because the view from this high plateau was not very clear. Nevertheless, we had a very nice hike, two actually, and put in over 5 miles. This was really good because Mike has been having some trouble with his right knee and a trip to the doctors resulting in a cortisone shot seems to have helped. Yay!
After Dead Horse we went off road down Long Canyon (which we drove from the other direction a couple of weeks ago) ending at the CO River and stopped to check out some dinosaur tracks indicated by a sign. Then we found right above the tracks, on the same wall if you will, a whole newspaper of indian art/writing/petroglyphs, whatever you want to call it.

| OK, no big deal.....we fit, but larger vehicles would not! |
