15 Ton Thunder Lizard & Joshua Tree Gem & Mineral Show

Sauropad Dinosaur Tracks we explored near Moab, Utah

Its name translates “Thunder Lizard,” a type of sauropod that roamed what is now the Moab area of Utah, about 150 million geologic years ago.  While on a treck to see petroglyphs we detoured to see these dinosaur tracks.  The shelf of limestone had collapsed and fallen several hundred feet and had settled at about a 45 degree angle a few hundred feet above the river.  The climb rewarded us with a spectacular view and these tracks.  It was exciting to walk in the same place that these massive creatures once called home.

We have been home now for a few weeks and enjoyed catching up on things here.  Next week we the 42nd Annual Gem & Mineral Show held at the Sportsmen’s Club in Joshua Tree, California.  The High Desert is beautiful this time of year.  We look forward to seeing family and friends.  The show starts Wednesday, October 4 and runs through Sunday, October 8.  Hope to see you there.
