Utah

Yesterday we headed north, from Colorado to Utah. It was a beautiful drive heading out of the Rockies. We entered the plateau region of northwestern Colorado and then the red rock area of Utah. It was quiet the drive, we had to remind ourselves to check if we needed gas because it could be many many miles until the next station.


We landed in Vernal, UT last night at a KOA campground. It was pretty chilly, we got the usually "umm...sure, if you want to, it's going to be cold". We were pros by now and stayed plenty warm. We had an awesome fire last night and probably the best dinner so far. Chopped up peppers, onions, potatoes, and kielbasa. 


There it is before it went over the fire, sorry no after pictures it went into our stomach too fast. After dinner we played a wonderful game of cribbage (Mo won) and called it a night. We did wake up with a lot of frost on the tent, so we had to put most of the tent into the sun to thaw. Coffee and oatmeal then we hit the road. Vernal is known as dinosaur land, many of the streets are named after dinosaurs, there are fossils and tracks all around, along with dino statues.
