Wow, the last time we wrote about our adventures here in utah it was still snowing, and now it is already up to 30°C! Two weeks ago we spent a hot weekend in southern utah, in an area called San Rafael Swell. We went for an easy hike in a narrow canyon the first day and on the second day we drove through the park and enjoyed the view of the endless red rock formations. Close to where we camped we found some good looking boulders we had to try out. We also found millions of hairy caterpillars that invaded the trees next to our tent. But luckily they stayed on the trees. Before leaving the park we found same rather nice pictographs drawn on the rocks by the fremont culture more than 2000 years ago. It was a great and relaxing weekend with lots of sun and rock around us.
