We lazed around again this morning, We ate lunch around 10;30 while watching The Young and The Restless, then headed to Vernal to stock up at Walmart and fill up the truck with diesel.
When we got back from town, we thought it was a take it easy kind of day. We went through our brochures for the area and decided to ride to the Indian Petroglyphs Dry Fork Canyon. We thought this would be a good way to spend a couple of leisurely hours.
We stopped and admired the American Flag on the cliff remembering the victims of the battleship Maine in the Havana Harbor. It was beautiful.
We thought we were going to see some easy accessible Petroglyphs at the Sadie McConkie Ranch . We donated the $5 as requested, and went on the main trail. We thought for a little while that we had overpaid, then we saw the sign to walk an additional 3 blocks to see more. It was a little more work, walking up the hill than we expected, especially being we were actually sweating a little. It was a hot 82 degrees, I had to pull off my sunglasses because my eyes were sweating. Wasn't expecting this.
After hiking the main trail, we saw the sign for 3 Kings Trail. We went through the cow pasture, watching deer, and dodging cow manure, praying there was not a mean ole bull out there, to another area that had even better petroglyphs.
We were kinda tired when we returned to where Amber, (motorcycle) was parked.. We had a snack at the picnic tables, and continued our ride to the lower Dry Fork Canyon. It was a beautiful ride through the canyon where there was plenty of BLM land. We turned around after a little while on the dirt road, Red Cloud Loop. After we turned around, we realized that the dirt road was smoother than the paved.
We got back 4 hours later, woke up Fernykat, and sat outside for a while. This is the warmest evening that we have had in quite a while. It may be a little warmer, but not nearly as bad as the hot humid weather we have escaped from.
It has been a great week at Outlaw Trail RV Park, but we will part tomorrow and continue on our Happy Trail.
