Utah - Dixie National Forest



Kik took the "finish the raisins" (so we can throw the container out) challenge
Petrified wood and rock shop
Wood is petrified while buried without oxygen and minerals replace the wood over time. The color of the petrified wood is determined by the minerals which it is made of.
Running free in a landscape that is more familiar because it's much more like Yosemite with big rocks
Unfortunately, I did not have a helicopter to get an accurate picture. The road we traveled on was on the spine between two very deep canyons!
we found an art gallery while waiting for pizza! The kids had fun playing one of the art pieces was a Mississippi fretless guitar made from a cigarbox and played with a cylinder of glass on your ring finger. The rest of the gallery was pretty typical with paintings drawings and photography - all of Utah, of course.
And here's the view all around our campsite tonight.
Jo found a lizard and when he put it on Sy's green shirt it changed color!
Campfire time
