We traveled to the little town of Mexican Hat, which was named for this stone formation. Terry found the perfect place to camp in Gooseneck State Park. We had plenty of space to park on level ground without the concern of dodging tree branches. There were picnic tables. It was quiet and the scenery was spectacular. Best of all, it was free.
Our RV was boondocked here for a couple of days while we explored the Valley of the Gods one day and Canyonlands National Park, Glen Canyon, and Capitol Reef National Park the next day. We took hundreds of pictures and walked miles to and from the parking sites. It wasn’t the distance that tired us but changing altitude up to 600 feet as we walked.

Terry drove up this canyon. What did we see at the top? Cows! It was open range country. The old cows just moseyed along but the calves ran in front of us.

Hey, Darlene! Good to catch up with you guys again! So many of our blogging friends are in Utah at the same state and national parks, I wonder if we missed the memo!?!? You guys are there, Howard and Linda, Brad and Suzanne, and Mike and Pat are going there too. Is it a convention, a rally, a spontaneous demonstration?
At any rate, it's a beautiful time to be in a beautiful area to see God's beautiful creation!
