Warner Valley Dinosaur Tracks

On Monday morning, we all woke up at 5:30 in the morning to drive out and see the dinosaur tracks in Warner Valley.

No people at all, several miles of dirt roads, and a short hike to the tracks.

They are in an uncovered creek bed.  There isn't anything like seeing these tracks in their natural environment, knowing their owners had walked where we were standing.  

Not a dinosaur:

It was stunningly beautiful.  Thanks, Robert, for getting us all out to see the best part of the day.
