Dinosaur Foot Prints

I visited the Warner Springs dinosaur footprint site about 15 miles east of St. George to make impressions of the footprints with ceramic clay.

There are at least three sets of footprints here. Two of them are large plant eaters and one of them is from a smaller meat eater. I made casts of both types. First I covered the footprints with cellophane so that my clay wouldn't damage them. Then I pressed clay into footprints and pulled the casts out, covered them entirely with cellophane to prevent drying and put them in boxes.

After that I drove all day to reach Kemmerer, Wyoming. I hit some of the heaviest rains that I have ever seen between Salt Lake City and Evanston, Wyoming, where I turned north to Kemmerer, where the rain ended.

Kemmerer is a neat little town where the J.C. Penney store was started. They also have a funny sence of hummor. There are signs on the traffic signals telling you to press the button to cross the street, but there are no buttons ... only the signs.
