Day 7

We started day 7 by driving to Canyonlands National Park - Needles Overlook, where it was really windy - it blew over my tripod with my camera on it...the camera lived....then it was back to Monticello for lunch. We took a different way back that went up and over a mountain where the rain that we had been driving through off and on turned to snow. Next, it turned to sleet for about a mile, then we were out of it and down the other side. That's where we saw all the deer.  Along this route we passed Newspaper rock, where people have been drawing on the wall for over 1000 years now, and some still are even though it;s against the law now. I guess graffiti has been around a long time.

Later we drove south to Hovenweep National Monument and hiked around the ruins there between rainstorms. Well, mostly between rainstorms...we got a few sprinkles but it wasn't too bad.  We finished up the day driving back to the hotel where we ate what was in our doggy bag for dinner, and that was all for today.
