Day 37- Sunday - 7/26/09 - SETTLED

Corinne meets with Rose at Wild Rose's Import shop to show her my hats, bags, high-heel shoe jewelry and business card holders. She says my work belongs in a gallery, and sends me to Olga.

On the way to Canyonlands, we see a gondola system going up to an abandoned mine. We wonder when it was active and what they mined there. Maybe it was a tourist attraction.

We see evidence of drilling for minerals near Canyonlands.

It is 77 degrees. This morning at Islands in the Sky in Canyonlands, there is hard rain and thunder.

We hear of a ranger study which shows that most people won't walk more than 100 yards from their car to a viewpoint. They don't know what they're missing.

Walking in Canyonlands, gooseberry thorns catch Corinne's camera strap and pull her back, as though God doesn't want her to leave the trail just yet.

There are dirt roads that go down to the Canyonlands floor, for miles and miles. They are roads that the miners used to use.

It is not recommended that cars like ours, low to the ground and without 4 wheel drive, travel those roads. We are disappointed, because it sure looks like fun and the views are stunning.

The views of the Colorado and Green Rivers are amazing - clear and close.
