    Valley of the Goblins

    My 2 year old son and I got in late Wednesday night. For some reason, it takes longer to get a 2 year old ready for his very first camping trip than I thought. ^_^

    The campgrounds were full, but that was perfectly fine. We found some great privacy about a mile away just around the corner.

    The mornings were a little chilly but around noon was T-shirt weather. Thursday we spent about 4-5 hours in Goblin Valley, we went back to attempt a nap but watched movies on the laptop in the tent. We then went driving around and exploring.

    I found the "Fat Mans Misery" location known on geocaching.com (not the Fat Man's Misery canyon near Zion)

    We headed back today, Friday morning. We took our time getting back, taking I-70, making a few stops at the scenic rest areas. I also had to show him the "big bridge" over Eagle Canyon.

    well done lads! enjoy it while you can. they turn into teenagers way too fast and don't even want to be seen in the same room with their parents.
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
    The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH

    It takes a manly-man to hand a harmonica to a two year-old.

    You can either upload pictures under 256kb in size, or you can link to them like I did from places like picasaweb, flickr n such, by using the Img button.
