1 We're off on a morning drive out to an overlook that provides a different view of Zion National Park that most visitors don't see.
2 We're at a place called the Barracks, and that is Zion National Park over there on the side of the hill

15 We've now found our way (with Francisco de Bob leading) to a place where dinosaur tracks have been found.
16 Shirley photographs an idiot who tries to drive up a nearby sand hill. His forward progress was stopped by gravity about 2/3rds of the way up the hill and he has to back down. A second try got him a little farther. There was a dip at the bottom that prohibited getting a running start - otherwise it would have been a piece of cake.
17 BobF photographs Don who marks the idiot's forward progress.
18 Someone has found the first track.
19 We tried to highlight the print with water, bu this one is a little hard to make out.

21 These animals had three toes on each foot, with the center toe being larger that the other two. Image when this area was a swampy area, rather large animals came walking through the muck. The muck later hardened into stone, preserving the footprint
22 Two in a row. We later found as many as 14 in row.

72 We've now begun a drive around Hog Canyon. This was the most challenging off-road driving we had on this trip. The playback is 1.5X normal speed so the video is quite jerky.

77 Yes. Girls on the right; boys on the left. Our birth certificates were checked to see which side we could go .. of wait, this is Utah, not North Carolina. Leave the camera in the vehicles, please.

79 Anni's pic of the whole gang at the underground lake.

83 There were two horsepersons that rode in while we were there and the gang was watching them.
