Road Tripping to Bears Ears Pt.5

 It was finally time to return home.  For this final post, I will include a few misc. things we did and saw.  The Bears Ears visitor center was finally open, so we checked it out and bought t-shirs.

We drove up to the Bluff cemetery, on a bluff in Bluff!.  Fascinating checking out the grave stones and how neat the grave sites were defined by small rocks, as well as fences.  Here's a view of one section...

A scenic place to be buried!  And a cool gravestone...

The cemetery overlooked the town and the bluff in the distance.  Cool old house as well.

We also stopped at the Twin Rocks Trading Post.  Some great Native American art, but kinda expensive.  Well, the artists deserve the dough, the products are beautiful.  Just outside...

Across the street was a Cow Canyon Trading Post... coffee house, gallery, and shop.  Wonderful people and good coffee (the blue corn muffins were to die for!).  And a couple nice old trucks outside.

I should also give a shout out to Max, Terry's dog who did a great job hanging with us without a whimper.  Here he is with Jane.

Driving back through Blanding, we decided to stop at the Edge of the Cedars museum.  A great place and definitely a place to enjoy.  Tons of info on the archeology of the area and history of ancient occupation of the area.  We bought more t-shirts.

Our final stop was for lunch at the Moab Brewery (Moab now seems like a big city, it's grown so much, kinda crazy...).  Fantastic burgers...

The drive home brought us rain and cold and traffic accidents.  But we persevered, made it back in one piece (including Rodney, who we finally rescued out of guilt).  All in all, a wonderful trip.  Already planning another one next year...
