Sinks Canyon

Last night we made a stop o er at Sinks Canyon State Park, which is beautiful in itself, but also boasts a geological oddity. The Popo Agie River (pronounced so it rhymes with "ambrosia") hits a wall of stone and appears to disappear (shown in picture), only to reappear a quarter mile down the Canyon in a calm pool.

This morning, the kids completed the Junior Ranger program before we hit the road again and headed to the Greybull area for more family visits. Well be here a few days, which is good because we all hit a driving wall this afternoon. My cousin Sara has two kids, and after an initial bit of shyness they were all soon running around the ranch.

Utah cousin fun!

Yuma State Park thunderstorm

On the way up to the Salt Lake area we stopped at Yuma State Park to make some food and enjoy a thunderstorm under a shelter.

Bryce Canyon!

We did make it to Bryce Canyon for a night, with enough time for a beautiful hike through the Hoodoos.

Spot It tournament: game three

The two people playing the tournament were, as you might expect, if you've read the previous post on the tournament, were Sofia and Zach. They played to the last round, which Sofia conquered.
