            We went to Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. I was expecting lot of fossils but instead there weren’t really any fossils. So I was a little disappointed. We also had a BIIIIIIIIIIIIG problem deciding where to sleep for the night. We went in circles many times until we decided to go and stay at a dreaded RV park. I will not enjoy it  . [MH] Before we went to Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry we went to Sego Canyon. Sego Canyon’s pictographs were done in Barrier Canyon Style (after Archaic but before Ancestral Puebloans.)  Some of the panels were really intricate. The guidebook we bought said it was 160 feet long! Mom didn’t believe the book , but it was right!

The visitor center at Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry had 18 SOLAR PANELS!!!! The solar panels supplied all the power for the lights. All the lights were dim florescent lights. As soon as the clouds came and covered the sun the light went out. I asked the man working there “Do the solar panels give you all of your power?’’ “Yep!!!!!” After we were done we drove 20 miles in to Buckhorn Wash. The pictographs were awesome! They were also in the Barrier Canyon Style and were HUGE.

 [ZH].  Although the drive to Buckhorn Wash was through about 20 miles of dreaded dirt roads, it was soooo worth it.  The panel had been defaced years ago and was recently restored.  Although not in pristine condition, they were beautiful!  I can see why some people interpreted these images as those of aliens{KS}
