Have shared it with my wife Renae and several others. I am the retired archaeologist who spoke with both of you on the Mansard Hike. We live on the other end of Vermilion Cliffs Estates. If you might be interested in hiking up to Flag Point sometime to see the dinosaur tracks and the pictograph of same, let me know. I have pretty good directions on how to find the site. Probably getting to hot right now, but maybe this Fall. Mike and Tana,

By so doing I stumbled upon your website. It was interesting looking through your blogs, and I certainly wish you the best in Kanab. I did get through my photos from Saturday and last night. I got a few fun ones of the Wildflowers. The Sun Dunes were okay based upon the type of sunset that we actually had. I looked through your Sand Dunes and Wildflower shots and was impressed. I liked the close-up of the fence bracket and the close-up of Dustin's hand. Possibly our paths will cross again with all of the fun activities that have been planned here in Kanab. Hello Mike,
