Wild West Trip: Day 8 - Onward into Utah
After an incredible experience at Antelope Canyon, we hitched up
the fifth wheel and headed out across the state line into Utah. The
panoramic landscape reminds me again of old John Wayne westerns which
John Ford directed in these parts. 
We
stopped for a photo opp. of our rig in front of Monument Valley. Along
the way to Blanding, there are many interesting spires and rock
formations. 
We
stopped in for the night in Blanding at Blue
Mountain RV Park and Trading Post. Here we saw a large selection of
huge dinosaur bones, Native American jewelry, baskets, artwork, rugs,
and furs. I had a friendly conversation with the owners and one of the
exhibitors, who gave me a background on Blanding's extensive mining
history and also an interesting discussion on dinosaur bones, which many
have been discovered around Blanding.
