(Group 21)

This became a very unusual trip following a phone call one week into it. A death in the family had us scrapping the second week out west and heading to Ohio for the funeral. We did visit eight of the intended sites out west, including three fossil-related sites, which my anthropology-majoring daughter enjoyed. The scenery at the various sites AND during the drives between them was spectacular and seemed to be constantly changing as we climbed to over 7,000 feet above sea level. Once back in Ohio, we took advantage of a few open days to visit sites in that state.
