Blanding UT May 30

Went to Blanding, Utah on last day. Edge of the Cedars State Park has an Indian pueblo ruin, plus a nice archaelogical museum, including some items discovered by hikers in the local area. Further down the road, a nice dinosaur museum, pet project of paleontologist Stephen Czerkas, who with his wife is generally is travelling. Utah has a number of dinosaur fossil finds. At the Indian museum, on display is a discovery by a hiker in the local area; perfectly preserved sandals, from 500AD ! Can you believe it?
Again, at the Indian museum, Marlene in front of sculpture of Kokopelli, "The Flute Player", famous Indian symbol of fertility, among other things.

Another flowering cactus; couldn't pass this one up
