August 4 5, 2006The raftng trip was a bust. It rained ! It was mostly a float with a minor rapid or three. Nice people but the kids were splashing. If the temp had been 100, that would have been fine but by the last hour I was cold. Oh well. I can say I rafted the Colorado and it was brown!. I picked up Curly, and we left Moab. Turned down an unpaved road about 20 miles later and found Looking Glass Rock. I camped there and fell in love with the rock., too many pictures. In the morning, Curly and I hiked/walked around and on that rock. It took almost an hour. Then we headed farther down that road until it connected with Needles Overlook road. Needles Overlook was another spot with breathtaking views. Passed the turnoff for Canyon lands - Needles section because I need groceries. I’m now in Monticello, Utah and will head back there, 15 miles tonight or tomorrow. So much to see. I am 80 miles from Mesa Verde which was on my original list but I think I’m going to pass for this trip. It will be HOT, and Curly isn’t allowed in and there is more to see in Utah. Mesa Verde will be another trip along with Canyon de Chelly , without Curly.

Did you know if you click on the pictures they get bigger?
Rocks ROCK they are the best !
Red Brown Black shiny or dull even layered!
They don't talk back at least not with anything negative, and they all have a lot of history and stories to tell if you listen carefully.
Have you started a rock collection from your trip yet.
