{Southern Utah - Goblin Valley}

As mentioned previously, we had planned on going up to Yellowstone Park on our way to Chicago, but due to inclement weather, we decided against it. We were super bummed as we were very much looking forward to that trip. We didn't want to do nothing for those few days so we decided to go in the complete opposite direction of where we had originally planned and headed down to Southern Utah for a few days.

Wednesday, June 1, we left early in the afternoon and headed towards Goblin Valley. [For those of you who have seen Galaxy Quest, you should know what I'm taking about. It's when Tim Allen fights the rock monster:

For those of you who have not seen Galaxy Quest, go repent.]

We camped [was a nice little test run for our new camping equipment which we were planning on using all the way to Chicago] just outside of Goblin Valley at a remote little location:








our air mattress pump did not quite work as planned...maybe we just didn't charge it long enough before hand, but luckily we were able to plug it into the car and pump it up haha

Tin foil dinners - be jealous, they were delicious!!!

 Beautiful!!

The next morning we headed out to Goblin Valley and this is what we saw!






 More pictures and updates soon!!

  2. a minor addition. That night was the windiest night ever. Good thing we had a super high-quality tent - it was nearly flattened all night. We were silly enough to not put up the rain fly (it wasn't raining!) so we were covered in dust come the morning. Despite taking an hour to fall asleep, we survived ok.
