We left Idaho and headed toward Utah.  The speed limit in Utah was 80 mph.  Luckily David couldn't go the speed limit in the RV and towing the truck.  Ha!  We spent the night at Salt Lake City in a KOA right in the city.  Listened to trains, planes and automobiles all night.  It did have a hot tub so took advantage of that :)
We got to our campground in Dinosaur National Monument.  It is on the Green River and had 80 year old cottonwood trees.  Really nice- no hook ups but now our generator is working so "no worries".   We went to the quarry which was not what I was expecting.  I thought we would be walking into a dinosaur quarry but that was wishful thinking.  The actual quarry was a side of a mountain encased by a building.  There were tons of dinosaur bones in the side of the mountain.  You had a paper guide so that you could identify the bones/dinosaurs.  There was a place that you could touch the dinosaur bones in the mountain.
We left and went out exploring where they had petroglyphs on the side of the mountains.  The Freemonts (Indians) had carved them.  We rode on down the road which narrowed, then turned to a dirt road, and then it narrowed again.  We were at Josie Morris' cabin.  She had come there in 1913 at the age of 40.  She lived there by herself until 1963.  She used the canyon to box in her cattle.
It was about 6:45 and David decided that we could go on the box canyon trail which was "supposed" to be a 1/2 mile.  We got our bear spray as it said we were entering bear country.  Of course the trail was NOT 1/2 mile and after 30 minutes of hiking in this overgrown back country trail, I was ready to turn back.  It was getting darker and I had the bears coming out to get me in my mind.  Finally David realized that yeah we need to get back.
The next day (Saturday) we went on a ranger led hike to the fossils.  I've already forgotten 80% of what she told us but it was SO interesting!  We got to see and touch the fossils (some dinosaur ones) in the mountain.
After that hike, David and I went on the Sounds of Silence trail.  It lasted about 3.8 miles.  It was totally awesome as we hiked many different terrains.  We found someones marijuana stash in a shrub.  It had the pipe, cleaners and the baggie but no pot.  We also found plenty of Mountain Sheep poop but didn't get to see a sheep.  Still hoping.
So we didn't get to camp at the Rocky National Park because of the flooding but we did get to go to two different National Monuments (Craters of the Moon and Dinosaur National Monument) to camp and explore.  Pretty good trade off.
Leaving Sunday for Colorado.  We are going on an all day cattle drive!!  YEE HAW!! Guess who picked this activity???
