While most of the CMC group departed on Sunday, we still had one more day to spend in the Escalante area. After a lazy morning in camp, we chose to head back up the hill and spend a little time in Boulder. Our first stop was the Anasazi State Park Museum.

Outside the main building lay the excavated ruins of an Anasazi pueblo…

…and the reconstructed version of what it might have once looked like.

From there we celebrated Dianne’s upcoming birthday with dinner at the famous Hell’s Backbone Grill.

I ordered a bison steak…

…and Dianne had Goose Egg Carbonara.

We enjoyed all with an exquisite bottle of wine from the Douro Valley of Portugal.

The meal was a bit pricey, but the food was delicious, the service impeccable and we don’t have any kids to leave our money to anyway.
