Last week we spent five days playing in the Arizona Strip/North Rim country. Had a great time! Tons of pictures taken – I’ll share half a ton of them here <grin>.
Two rigs and four people on the trip, me and my son Logan in my ’06 LJ, our friends Steve and Jen in Steve’s ’12 JK.
On the way down to St. George Tue. night, my Jeep had the CEL come on and from the code it looked like probably a bad TPS. So after a huge breakfast on Wed. 5/2 at the Egg and I, we made a quick stop at the Autozone on Bluff street to replace the TPS in the parking lot.
Then we were on our way! We just headed south on River Road. Our first stop was this old place north of Mount Trumbull.
This little guy was the only one home
.
When we got to Mount Trumbull there were a lot of rigs parked at the old schoolhouse so we didn’t even slow down for it, just motored right on past. A short distance up the road, I swerved to avoid running over this guy before shooing him off the road.
Next stop was the petroglyphs at Nampaweap. It’s a short walk from the parking area down into the canyon where there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of petroglyphs carved into the volcanic boulders.
The canyon was also loaded with large cocoons full of caterpillars. Never seen so many concentrated in one spot before – they were everywhere!
From Nampaweap, our next stop was an out of the way lava tube cave with some really cool pictographs.
More coming…
