Castle Country
This was to be a post about our weekend in Castle Country
with pictures of our trip up Nine-Mile Canyon out of Wellington in eastern Utah. Pictures of the fauna and flora
colors and textures
of the canyon, plus the pictographs, spires
and ancient ruins the Fremont's left thousands of years ago.
BUT!! Man, truck, dirt road, mud....
After stopping for directions and maps (which took some begging) we headed up the canyon.
Dear, about .5 miles from here is an ancient grainery....
dear, watch for some pictographs near here.....
hey, stop!! There's something....
1.5 miles from here, damn it, is another chance to see a grainery.
BUT!!,
Man, truck, dirt road, mud!!! Big smile rarely leaves his face. Mud puddles left by the recent rain are driven through fiercely, throwing mud all over the truck. Can you see the silly grin on his face?!?
Here is one of the pictographs we DID see. Its a very famous hunting scene and right on the side of the road (only my quick eye found it!).
DH was impressed by the hunter's ‘dong’. 
His truck is covered with mud...and he left it that way to show friends today. Badge of courage? For a dirt road!?
Next time I'm going with girlfriends!!!!
That's some dong! Sheesh! You were down in my Easter weekend neck of the woods. You're right, it's a grrl trip.

Ohh, I love the photos! I'm a sucker for pictographs. We are in the process of planning our summer vacation, which will definately be out west, and I'm definately checking out this area. My husband loves to drive in the mud, too.

Cool pictographs. What's a little mud between friends? Thanks for sharing!

Wow, great pictures. I'm with you though, a girl trip, to a spa and a yarn store. That would be my ideal time!
