Rock Hounds on the Trail


Since my younger, (but taller - who isn't?) sister lives in Florida, we don't get to spend much time together but we made the most of the weekend she came to visit.
Besides taking her and her husband Bone Hunting at Dinosaur National Monument,


we went rock hounding,
rock climbing (sort of),

saw petroglyphs,

wildflowers,

and lots of scenery. (Click to enlarge.)
Before we knew it, our too-short visit was over.
As we used to sing along with the Roy Rogers Show re-runs every Saturday morning when we were small, "Happy trails to you, until we meet again..." (I guess that's the closest we have to a sister-song.)

  2. I forgot that they were coming to visit. Lots of interesting things to be seen if you aren't from the area. Glad the visit was fun.

  5. Yet another great adventure, plus the bonus of family. Those petroglyphs are awesome.

    One of these days we should meet half way somewhere in UT. You know so many great places.

    Also a favorite song of mine as a child. Along with "I am a happy wanderer..."

    Wonderful captures.

  12. How wonderful that you could have such a wonderful visit with your sister. I doubt that she gets to do much rock hounding or rock climbing (sort of) in Florida.

  13. Janie, you working side by side with your hubby, you remind me of Terry Irwin, the American wife of Steve Irwin (the Croc Hunter). :)

    Great to see your sister in this blog post of yours.
