So Jake and I went on a belated Anniversary trip to Vernal because we had never been to Dinosaur Monument and all of that. Well, nobody warned us that the Quarry is closed. The foundation fell apart and they lost their funding due to 9/11 and so they have not been able to rebuild. Due to the stimulus package they should be rebuilding starting next year...
So these are the only dinosaur bones we saw.
A leg bone:
Part of a spine:
We saw a lot of Petroglyphs though:
"Boo!!"
A Goat or something:
Find the lizards:
Overall, it turned into a good trip. Sometimes it is nice just to get away. If anyone is planning on going that way I suggest waiting until the Quarry is rebuilt.

i'm so sorry you drove all the way to vernal to find that out. i was in vernal for my husband's little brother's wedding a couple of weeks ago and kept looking around for the dinosaurs. couldn't find them.
I remember seeing dino stuff when I went there as a kid. Thanks for the heads up. We were thinking it would be fun to take a little boy there. Maybe we'll have to wait. But I can show you alien petroglyphs in St George....if you aren't petroglyphed-ed out.
