2015-04-07 Easter, Dirt Bikes, Dead Horse State Park, and more

I know it has been a few days but we have been very busy. Also, the internet here is nearly non-existent.  I even went to the library today to try to put some videos on youtube or in Dropbox but it was worse there than at the RV park.

Anyway, Jeep Safari week ended Easter Sunday - there was a huge parade of Jeeps on Saturday before the last rides.  Every street in town was closed and 1000's of Jeeps were lined up on every street waiting to parade down Main.  It was a pretty amazing site.

Saturday afternoon some of Vaughan's motorcycle guys arrived and they went on their first ride - Gemini Bridges. Over the last few days more guys came in and he rode SlickRock, Metal Masher, and White Rim Trail.  Here are a few shots from WRT.

Meanwhile, I went to Dead Horse State Park.  Cowboys used to drive wild herds of horses out to the point and select the horses they wanted then leave the rest probably to starve. They found the remains of many unfortunate horses so they called the place Dead Horse Point.  What you see below in some of these photos is the trail that Vaughan rode today.

On the way back to town I saw a rock fall to the side of the road where I found a number of nice pieces of petrified wood.  OK, so the rock fall was up at the base of this formation.
