Goblin Valley

Our first camping trip of the year was at Goblin Valley.  What a neat place this was to visit.  Goblin valley has TONS of rock formations that look like Goblins.

In the valley

Taylor was a trooper

 





We found a nice little off road trail to take which gave us a good view of Molly's Castle.  There was a lot of soft sand on this trail.  This created a bit of an adventure.  Especially when we got to a spot where there was a bit of a hill, with a slight drop off.  In an effort to not get stuck, Bryan gunned it a bit.  As we went down the hill and made it back up the other, we heard a couple of loud thumps.  We knew there were some rocks that we were using to keep traction.  We thought it was only hitting the running boards.  So when we got out of the sand we stopped and took a look at the truck.  The rocks hit more than the running boards.  It ripped the driver side bumper off and bent the feather of the U of U hitch cover.

We went back to the valley the next night to take in the full moon.  We've heard that it is really neat at night on a full moon.  And it was.  The moon made the rocks cast lots of eerie like shadows.  There were a lot of people there at night taking it in like we were.  There was a scout group there as well playing capture the flag. We played a bit of Sardines while we were waiting for the moon to come up.  It's a great place for hide and seek.  Just be sure to put some boundaries on it.  Otherwise, someone may never get found.

Taylor slept in the tub - it was a perfect fit
