We all enjoyed driving through Nevada and Utah on our way back from California. The Great Basin is such a neat area for geology, biology, and so many other -ologies.
Abby enjoyed stopping in Nevada at a BLM rock art area to stretch her legs and play on some concrete.
We all appreciated the chance to stretch our legs.
Abby did a little rock climbing....
...with a little help from Grandpa.
She even took her turn behind the wheel.
Just outside Ely, NV, we took a three-mile detour on some interesting BLM roads to go to Garnet Hill, a BLM rockhounding site. Yay!
It was a little chilly, but Abby spent some time getting dirty and looking for garnets.
It was a great site. In the ten minutes we could spend there, we found some nice specimens.
The next day, we had a little impromptu stop outside of Scipio, UT.
It was wonderful to get back to familiar vistas. Abby did a little "assisted" rock climbing again.
She loved the feel of the slick rock on her bare feet!
We just happened to end up in Moab for the night, happened to stay right across the road from the Moab Brewery, and happened to have a few beers and dinner there. Cheers to a long trip almost over!
