Lilli
This is a really cool post. Imagine a shop in a rock. Was it perhaps a cave at first? The mill was really interesting. Thanks for sharing. Peace

A splendid scenery. I am particularly fascinated by the gas station they built into a rock. It must have taken them centuries to do it lol!

I like the shape of that Dirty Devel River! We're full time rver's, and I remember seeing that gas station in a rock! LOL! We've been full-timing for 4 1/2 years now. I blog about our travels and anything else on my mind.

Sorry you weren't able to swing North to more dinosaur remnants of Moab.
At the visitors center, there are two pamphlets guiding the interested to trackways and a short path embedded with fossils. The Moab Rock Shop should be a museum, Rock Hound Lin Ottinger discovered a great many dinosaur bones in Utah. He has on display the leg bone of a sauropod that is SOOOO impressive. In the Little Moab Museum is a replica of Gastonia, a little armored beauty found in Moab. ANd finally, Vernal Utah had an August 2009 celebration. Celebration of 100 years of paleo discoveries at the Carnegie Quarry aka Dinosaur National Monument which began August 17, 1909 when fossils were discovered by Earl Douglass and Elder Goodrich.
However, interestingly enough, the discovery of the first dinosaur bones recorded by a white man in Utah was exactly 50 years earlier - Dystrophaeus viaemalae -
by J. S. Newberry on August 17, 1859 near Moab.

There is a rumor a Dr. Gierlinski intends to create a dinosaur attraction at the cross-roads of Hwy 191 and Hwy 313. Eager to see how that manifests.

2009-11-03T21:39:07.592-08:00

I've never been to a dinosaur museum, but I have seen a few along the freeway. You're right, I have no idea how those paleontologists come up with those names.

Thanks for the explanation about RV parking.

I've heard of that museum but haven't been there. ...

2009-11-03T15:19:56.120-08:00

I've heard of that museum but haven't been there. Interesting post!
Paleontologists must have come up with the name. Since their profession was saddled with such a long name, I guess they felt they had to sound important in the things they categorized!

Good question, I reckon it was these proffs, with ...

2009-11-03T13:56:54.386-08:00

Good question, I reckon it was these proffs, with the big words, so us poor mortals dont know as much as them,lol.

Great post, lovely photos!

2009-11-03T12:15:37.782-08:00

I wonder what is the difference between Permian logs and petrified logs? We used to roll those logs down the hill and take home for Dad to slice on his rock saw and make things to beautify gardens with.(petrified wood logs)

Looks like your had a fruitful vacation --thanks for sharing it with us in pictures!

Marvelous scenery and wonderful yellow flowers! Loved seeing the Dinosaur Museum photos. I was there with my sister during the summer of 1966 ... took a LONG dirt road to get there ;-)

I'm way behind on blog visits but am doing what I can to catch up with everyone today. Here’s my Mellow Yellow Blue Monday post:

That last looks like a prehistoric Rhino, doesn't it? Those are some OLD logs, too! I've seen fossilized wood near Boulder, UT - wonder if it is the same?

2009-11-03T08:58:33.508-08:00

What an interesting post! And I love your photos. I was fascinated with the information about Permian logs! Amazing that anything could survive that long! And they surely made me feel like a teenager -- and that ain't easy, believe me!

Have a great day, Lily!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has problems with those long names. Even so, this must be a fascinating place to visit.

Maybe the folks who named them wanted to impress us with their knowledge. NOT impressed are you? Princess does look like she was having a fun time on the trip in a previous post. I didn't know kittens like hammocks. Learned something new. Thanks. Peace

2009-11-02T19:01:47.482-08:00

What a pretty place. More places I need to visit. We go to UT every summer for a business convention, so I will eventually get there.

To answer the question you left when visiting me, nothing was canceled here due to H1N1. We had more trick-or-treaters than we have ever had. I didn't make a specific number of packages like I usually do, but based on how much candy I bought--and ran out of--and had to steal from my girls' overflowing bags--I would guess we had about 250 kids.
