<\/a><\/p>\nGoblin Valley is\u00a0great!<\/p>\n
You can drive up to a lookout point, and then clamber down in amongst the goblins! Argos and I took a walk down there, and I carried Pugsly down for a brief photo shoot.<\/p>\n She’s a pin-up model!<\/p>\n On my way to Valley of the Gods, I went through Hanksville. You know what is near Hanksville? Mars! The facility is closed to visitors after Sept 1, but four mile drive out was worth the time. It really is other-worldly there.<\/p>\n On the drive, I went through Glen Canyon area. Obviously, I was having fun with the Panorama feature on my camera \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Now I\u2019m at Valley of the Gods at our group campsite I picked over the hot summer. It\u2019s lovely here!<\/p>\n This is the view out my camper door.<\/p>\n The doggies know that we’ve reached a destination, and rest easily.<\/p>\n I just realized that the meetup isn\u2019t scheduled for people to arrive until the 21st<\/sup>, not the 20th<\/sup> as I\u2019d been mis-remembering. I meant to get here a day early to secure the spot, guess I am two days early.\u00a0That’s okay, I kind of want some alone downtime after having been around people the past few days.<\/p>\n \u201cStar light, star bright, first star I\u2019ve seen tonight….\u201d Good night.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nWell, the Mars Research Station<\/a>, anyway. I didn’t travel that<\/em> far!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nUsually wished upon Venus, like most kids who wished upon the first bright object in the night sky.
\nI wonder what I wished for when I was a kid?<\/p>\n
