We got up a little late today and eat breakfast across the street from the ATV rental place. It was OK, but between it and the ATV paperwork we didn't get on the road until after 9.
We drove out of town and onto Kane road. We stopped at a campground that was supposed to have petroglyphs. We didn't see any, but we did see a place where jackasses had defaced the rock with pictures. So we got back in the rig and kept driving.
We stopped at another campground where there were supposed to be more petroglyphs. Again we couldn't find them. It turned out we had bad directions. They were about a quarter mile up the road. We found them and I took a lot of pictures.
I should mention two general things. We stopped frequently to take pictures. The scenery was magnificent. Also, Lucy had a blast. We had a Ranger with no front window. She sat between us with her nose in the wind and her ears flying. She was so cute and was having a great time.
The road/trail climbed hundreds of feet to a pass. It wasn't too rough, a couple of pickups were on it. The other side was much rougher. We went back down almost to the same altitude we started at. Then we started to parallel the river. Did I mention the scenery was fantastic?
At one point the road went between a rock wall and a sheer drop of several hundred feet to the river. We had about a foot of clearance on each side.
We didn't get quite as far as we would have liked. We actually had plenty of time to get back, but we didn't know it. We got back a little before 4, washed and gassed the rig, and turned it in. I was kind of tired from all the driving.
We took the dog home and put some stuff away. Then we went to dinner at the blues joint we couldn't get into yesterday. It had pretty good BBQ and good recorded blues.
Now I'm watching football.
