Navajo Lake 2009

So we went camping up at Navajo Lake up our beautiful Cedar Mountain. It is one of our favorite places to go because it is so quiet and beautiful and has an AMAZING hike! The last couple times (as my family will remember!) the path was covered with trees, but they cleaned it all up and it was splendid. LOVE the view. So breathtaking. We stayed the last weekend it was open for the season and it was free! I am ALWAYS a fan of free.:)
We had such a fun time camping in grandpa Joe's 5th wheel trailer. We will definitely do it again! It was so nice to get out of town and away from all the busy-ness of the day to day stuff. We laughed, played and relaxed a lot. Good times!


We have carved the year every time we come up here. So far we have 04,06,07,09.

Parowan Gap

This amazing place is only about a 30 minute drive from our home, and I had never been there! It was an amazing display of petroglyphs. Petroglyphs are pictures carved in rock, a hieroglyph is a picture that means a word, these are just pictures. These carvings are dated from at least 1,000 years ago. The artwork was done by "Prehistoric Fremont and southern Piute cultures."



This pass was NOT created by modern man. It was created a long time ago during or before these petroglyphs were created.
click on this picture to get a great view of the petroglyphs!
The kids think this is a little camping spot for an Indian to hide when he was hunting.

Some old school graffiti. Over 100 yrs old! I thought is was cool.
