    Default Red Fleet Res., Dinosaur National Monument UT



    We went to Red Fleet north of Vernal Utah. Monday was fun; we fished and went swimming and paddled around with our blow up boats. With all the sandstone, It is kind of like Moab with water. We had a good time until it started blowing. Then it started raining. This continued until 5am. NOT the forecast we found from multiple sources. We had sand in the tent and layered on everything in the tent. It was too cold to swim and I had been up until around 5am because of the lighting and thunder...the kind of lighting that lights up everything around you in daytime detail. We packed up and went to a motel. The next few days were spent in and around the monument, looking at pictographs, petroglyphs, dinosaur bones, and relics of the recent past.

    Thanks for all of the great pictures! Bad deal about the weather, but it sounds like you guys are making the best of it. I have run into that on climbing "vacations" where the weather gods just seem to be in a bad mood all the time. We have been so frustrated sometimes that we have simply said "Screw it" and gone climbing in the rain. Uncomfortable...sure, a little, but it we figured it was good training as you sooner or later end up on some climb where you are climbing through a storm...Still beats working....

    It is a great location...lots of stuff to do. The weather made my daughter happy because she didn't have to camp more than two days!

    We have abandoned more camp sites than I can count due to bad weather. Looks like a great place to visit! Thanks for the pictures!
