Rained all night but slept well in tent none the less. Yesterday I got in some walking and saw the sights learned a wee bit bout fossils.

That being said today was about that other kind of fossil the prehistoric bits o algae, plants and teeny tiny microorganisms. Not as glamorous as a Dino but in today’s world extremely important.

I’ve been going from park to park and my car nanny said it was time for an oil change. I checked my sticker when I got last and nanny was correct.

Only ten miles and quick. Problem was usually do big rigs and the bay had a river of service pit and was afraid of falling in. I did not.
Speaking of oil Telo don’t need it. Wiper fluid yes fossil fuel no. I’m just saying!!!
Since out and ominous looking I said hello to Dino with some gas.
Stopped at Sinclair for gas and saw many of the local constabulary pulling over a truck. No way he was just speeding. Don’t need 5 cars for that. Probably a fossil smuggler.

Back at temp homestead and looking like rain again I decided to car camp again. It’s gonna rain and tent gotta be dry or mold. No time for that in wee hours of morning so I packed up set up back of ecosport for napping.

If weather holds for a bit there’s a small trail going from one camp to another that runs along a stream. Perhaps one more hike in today.

Concerning the hike it’s a no. Not much of trail and lots of ants. I’m sure they are the dangerous fire ant(not really) that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

I’ll be leaving the park er monument tomorrow. If wondering why I screw up the designation it’s because this should be a park and it’s huge, beautiful , and lots of stuff to learn about. St. Louis Arch became one in 2000 now that’s a monument plus no camping least you get mugged. The problem is Colorado and Utah both battling over who going to be big dog and neither will give an inch per the Ranger who also thinks it’s stupid state version of D__K measuring.

Coming soon the Niagara of the west.
