May 29th - Dinosaur Monument NP


Today Will finally gave in and bought Betsey some radiator coolant in Hayden. We had someone tell us to do that in Zion!! Then we limped on to the Walmart in Craig for some supplies and more coolant. We took the 40 to Dinosaur National Monument Park. We drove for what seemed like ages down some random road, waving to the highway patrol as we went. He didn’t wave back (I don’t think he saw the wave). Finally we saw some cars on the side of the road – most with empty boat trailer. Most of this campground, Deerlodge Campground, had been packed up (well the tables had been) as they’d obviously had a flood through there. There was still heaps of water racing down the river. We called it a day and spent a bit of time reading – the weather outside had turned really windy so we stayed inside. There were no envelopes so we didn’t pay J. It was a quite a nice spot at the eastern end of the Dinosaur National Monument at the Colorado end. That evening we saw people inflating a huge raft and unpacking and repacking bags of stuff, food probably, and heaps of bottles of water. Must be rafting somewhere fun!
