Headed north on Sunday to Dinosaur National Monument in the northeast corner of Utah. Actually it straddles both Utah and Colorado. The famous 'wall' of dinosaur fossils is not open right now as they are re-doing the roof and visitor center but the campground was not crowded and we got a quiet little place right on the Green River. The rivers are running really high all over the southwest. Extra precipitation from their cold and wet spring is finally making its way into the waterways. We hiked up a short trail to see fossils and a femur bone still embedded in stone but mostly
we enjoyed some quiet time to rest and read and enjoy the sun without the wind. Other than all the towns having towering "cute" pink or green plastic dinosaurs at their entrance and roads such as Stegosaurus Boulevard it was a nice place to hole up for a
day or two.
