Moab, UT

    Over the weekend I was able to take a tour offered by a local non-profit agency, Canyonlands Field Institue.  They offer camps for children free of charge.  Some of that cost is underwritten by the funds collected from these tours.  It was very reasonably priced and was awesome.  For four hours we road in a van to various parts of the area enjoying the unique scenery. (Arches National Park is here.)   I had chosen the "Moab's Ancient Past" tour.  We went to see petroglyphs and pictographs.  LOTS of them. (The first one pictured is Kokopelli and the other is Moab Man.) There was some hiking involved so I got my exercise too.  We even had time to go view the dinosaur tracks-seriously.  So cool.....well, actually it was hot with the area setting record temps.  I then visited the Earth Day bazaar and shopped (of course) in the downtown area.
     I am completing my volunteer time at the Christmas Box House.  Lots of praises in having been here.
Next, I will be heading north to volunteer at a church camp in northern Idaho.
