Day 7: Goblin Valley part 2


Sat, Oct 5,  Day 7: 
lovely!

Walking the wash...



 
We had left the house heater on all night but on the lowest it would go and it ran periodically because it was about 36 degrees outside.

Woke up to a dead house battery so no heat or generator until we ran the engine four a few minutes.  Lesson learned…should have added that second battery that we talked about. 



Find our motorhome






 Also this battery has had issues in the past with previous owner; we will be checking water level and perhaps buying new one.

In the morning we further explored the wash behind our boondocking spot going further into it.

Afternoon activities included a bike ride to the trail head of Wild Horse Window where we hiked up to that arch. We were told that it was suitable for all members of the family. 








Wild Horse Window


 I can tell you granny and young children weren’t going there/fido yes…but after we found the unmarked trail it was a slog up hill to the deceivingly close arch.  2.5 hours from our motorhome return.  It was scenic.

Same scenic boondocking spot.

  2. Great area. There are many acres of BLM lands (our public lands) surrounding Goblin Valley State Park which makes it even more fantabulous. It is on our list for a return visit.
