Rust and Dust...artistic remains

All through the trip we encountered abandoned vehicles, and informal sculptures made from the remains of various kinds of vehicles and implements.  Look closely at the "Bagdad Cafe" photos to see the dinosaurs!

You can click on the photo here or look via the flickr album below.  We even found the Flintstones' car parked at a picnic area!

Petroglyph Country

There was a lot of communication going on in Utah before the Mormons.  I got a small guide to the symbols, which was a vague help.  When we got to the Parowan petroglyphs in a wind gap, it seemed like a lot of the symbols had to do with mapping and weather.  They were fascinating regardless.


There was one set that particularly intrigued me - lesson in sex education? Shooting stars and a comet?

I have put a link to all the photos at the bottom of the page.
