Greetings from Torrey, Utah #3

Did you miss me?  Thursday was a day of rest so I should have had time to write but we met a very nice couple and went to a stargazing program and did not get home till very late.  Chris had a chance to look through the telescope and the stars were incredible.
On Friday we took our jeep rental and our new friends to Gobblin State Park.  It is a very interesting place with thousands of rock formations that look like toadstools or gobblins.  We took lots of picture and had a great time roaming through the formations.  Children were allowed and encouraged to run and climb through the rocks.  Then we went out to dinner and again got home very late.  I  never thought I would enjoy meeting people in the campgrounds but it was really nice to spend the day with other people.  It turns out they are going to be in Moab while we are there and we plan to get together then.  
We were busted again--this time for the barking dogs.  We had left the windows open so the dogs were barking all day.  We were called while at dinner.  Seems like the dogs take after our children only instead of the principal calling it is the camp host.  
Today we went real 4wheel driving on a trip through Cathedral Valley.  This 60 mile loop is 4 wheel drive only.  There are so many warnings that I was afraid to go--take food and water for two days, no cell service, and no way to get help if you break down.  But everyone at the camp ground said the view is incredible and they were right. The trail was dirt, sand, and boulders.  We only saw three cars the whole time.  Chris had a blast but the dogs and I held on for dear life.  The trip was awesome, I am glad we did it, I do not want to do it again.
By the way...when we returned the jeep we got busted for the dog hair.  We took the dogs so they would not bark but we could not get all of the dog hair up so they wanted to charge $40.  Can't win!
  
Tomorrow is another off day.
