Mormon
Tabernacle at sunset. I'll have to check that spelling later.
Took
some pictures of things I saw along the way to Salt Lake. Like
this oil well in Rangely, Colorado. Don't ask me why, maybe
because I've never seen one up close before.
Learn
more about the most productive source of dinosaur bones in the
world. Check out their web site:
On
the way to Salt Lake City:
After
leaving the Grand Junction Hostel on Interstate 70 in Colorado, I
headed north on Rt. 139 to Rangely, then north on Rt. 64 to
Dinosaur, then east on US 40 into Utah.
The heat
continued day after day. Maybe next time I will get a car with
air conditioning, because after driving many hours each day in
temperatures close to or above 100 degrees sometimes I wasn't as
attentive as I should have been to some of the attractions along the
way. For example, I drove right by the Dinosaur National
Monument (located between Colorado & Utah). It wasn't
until the next day while going over my maps that I realized that I
missed seeing "the most productive source of dinosaur bones in the
world". Darn.
Well,
I'll see it "next time".

Had
to stop for road construction work somewhere on Rt. 139
between Loma and Rangely, MT. Got out of my car to walk around
and found this cave with an ancient Kokopelli drawing.
