Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, Utahhhh
Umm, this place is rad. I wish two things: that we were staying here a few more days and that we had a couple 4x4 quads. We got into Kanab, UT in the late afternoon, parked our home, and then met up with my aunt Cheryl and uncle Donny. They happened to be visiting his mother a little farther north so we got to spend a few hours together.
We went out to visit property that they bought a few years ago which was a blast. We traipsed around climbing on the rocks and cliffs looking at some really awesome geology that surrounded the area. We even got some souvenirs.. petrified wood! I decided to kick a cactus on the way back to the car, the cactus won. Then we all went out to a mexican diner at Nedra's and drank this beer from a local brewery called Polygamy Porter, hehe. You'd think this would be enough adventure for one evening, but then Cheryl told us that she had baked us dessert. So we went back to their room where she brought out this awesome blueberry cobbler. Stuffed full of blueberries we drove back to the rv, more accurately: Danielle drove, I slept.
In the morning Danielle dragged me out of bed to go see the Pink Sand Dunes.. which were amazing. In preparation for climbing Mt Shasta in a couple months we did some training and climbed the tallest dune we could find (~80 ft)!!! We spent the morning watching the sun rise over the dunes.
Off to Monument Valley, UT!
Epiphany: I can't believe all the places I've never been before.
