Fri, Oct 8: Green River Campground @ Dinosaur National Monument
I found the dinosaurs! After breakfast we took a ride to the visitor center to have a look and then to the dinosaur quarry. The quarry was quite impressive. The finds on this hill were left in relief AND there was a lot of them mostly camosaurus but it was over 100 different varieties of dinosaurs. The park has other “dino hills” they they are working on. The quarry is done. I asked if I could borrow a shovel to go dig on the hill over there where there more and the young attendant agreed that would be a fun task for a bit but no, no shovels. Mostly university slaves that do the work under paleontologists. RAINING today on and off and then on for longer than I would like. I thought it doesn’t rain in the desert, ha! Took a ride down by the rafting area and that looked like fun but not if the nights are HOT.
