Thanks,as always I am amazed at the amount of rock art you find.

Does the amount of rock art mean that the ancient people had spare time to do it?

Why spare time?

Why couldn’t it have been their paid job?

Pupfish, miniature dinosaurs, braying asses…. Quite a finale for the trip.

 

But, I have questions, if  "It's just a dumb ass," she sleepily replied. "Go back to sleep.", the ass is dumb, could it bray?

 

Bad humor aside, four wonderful installments!  Thanks for letting us tag along.

great trip report.

i think i have some feedback on the Big Grill - issue.

i worked for a large commercial truck manufacturer for my career, and for one 3 yr stretch on a team that managed a complete new truck design.

the truck makers dont want to have a tall or high front hood/grill. the higher it is, the worse it is for aero, and mpg's, and visibility.. the deciding factor is engines, and radiator/cooling system. the newer the trucks , the larger the radiators are. newer engines run hotter for emission control. so in our case, commercial vehicles, the top of the grill is only as high as it needs to be, no higher.  if anyone wanted to make the grill higher, it never would have happened - and i suspect this is the same thing with our trucks. the grills look 'big', but they have to be, as the radiator right behind it is more or less the same height.

go

Monte as usual a great trip story.Thank you for all the time you put into telling/showing

us your trips.  Lots of great sights you have taken us all to.

 

I never get tired of riding along with you two on your fantastic trips.

 

Keep traveling and reporting.

 

Also Julie's knees sure have been put to the test and have given her the new freedom

for your hikes.
