dinosaurland, utah.

well thats nearly the actual name of the place. and if you look around you can see quite a few different giant sized dinosaurs. like pink dinosaurs with big eyelashes. i think i saw that one on jurassic park III last night.

liz had a good plan for the night. considering we had a 3 hour drive from salt lake city back to dinosaurland and the plan called for more driving on top of that, yeah it was going to have to be night plans. but good plans they were indeed: camping in echo park. 950-liz_dinosaur-1-9

“yeah it takes about 2 hours to get there because the last 13 miles are on a winding dirt road that you can’t drive through if its been raining.”

yikes. no wait, fun!

and liz was right. we drive 10 miles into the park on a real road with pavement and two lanes and stop signs and other normal things you see on roads. then we see a sign for echo park and something that reminds me of a hiking trail. the sign told us this trail will end with echo park after 13 miles. a beautiful drive followed. it felt like we were driving into the crand canyon. we could see for miles and everything was beautiful. i had never seen what a rainstorm looked like 20 miles away, we did from up here.

we finally made it down into the canyon and could see echo park and steamboat rock and a huge deer 15 feet from our campsite. we were definitely in nature. you could taste it with every breath. we settled in for a long night of guitar playing, smores and star gazing. wow i miss this place.
