Vernal UT day 2

This morning we drove into Dinosaur NM. Its about 15 miles. We explored the quarry and then did a short hike to see some more fossils. Underneath the glass quarry roof is a sloped wall of partially excavated dinosaur bones. The whole thing was very well done and worth the visit. The rest of the day has been spent readying ourselves for the 4 day paddle raft trip through "The Gates of Ladore" on the Green River. WE WILL BE OUT OF TOUCH! We will be back in civilization Wednesday night. The guides have a satellite phone but it's only for calling out. You can call the tour company (O.A.R.S) at 800-346-6277. We will drop the MP off at an RV place before we leave tomorrow morning. They said they would look at it next week and drive it back to the KOA when it's fixed. Uh huh! I almost laughed when he told me that. Stranger things have happened but that scenario seems unlikely. I'll be trying to document our journey as we paddle but it's going to be awhile before it gets posted.
