Dinosaur Tracks

The day after Thanksgiving the Cub Scouts went on a hike at Government Canyon.  It is a 12,085-acre state natural area which is actually adjacent to our neighborhood, though it is about a ten minute drive to get to the entrance to the park.  I took Brayden and Blake on the more than five-mile hike to an area with several sets of dinosaur tracks frozen in rock, estimated to be 110 million years old.  We also saw a historic house built out just about in the middle of nowhere.  It was a fairly chilly day, but good for hiking.  I was especially impressed that Blake made the long hike without complaining.
