Thurs, Oct 7: Flaming Gorge Utah to Green River Campground in Dino National Monument
We left Flaming Gorge early because as usual, there are errands to be done. But first there was the down, down, down to the dam at Flaming gorge. Then, there was the up, up, up 8400 ft elevation and then down with switchbacks and a couple of runaway truck ramps thrown in for fun. We had done this ride before. Into Vernal we rode to get our errands done: walmart pick up, Lowes for some supplies, dump tanks at Superior Oil $10 because it didn’t appear that either Mavericks had a dump station/oil change there as well because we were there and easier than david doing it right now. Then into the campground which was not far away. There were quite a few sites to choose from when we arrived early afternoon so we rode around the loops (80 campsites total) a couple of times to select. Some were back in and quite a few were roadside pull through sites. We chose a pull through site and then unhooked. Took a walk around the campground. Dinner of bbq diy ribs/grilled veggies. Drive to see some petroglyphs/pictographs that were rather neat. Campfire. By evening quite a few more spots had been taken but not all; a long weekend with Columbus day thrown in. $9 with old guy pass per night/no cell phone and texts are slow or non existent.
