Saturday offered another lazy day. After spending the morning in the trailer, we finally got out for a short walk, heading over to check out Carl’s Critter Garden.
The roadside lot contains an artistic sculpture garden of objects made from refuse. Some depict local animals…
…others feature humans…
…and some are just artistic hodgepodges depicting who knows what.
After our immersion into the Hanksville art scene, we decided to take a spin up into the nearby Henry Mountains.
The graded gravel road from town was wide and smooth at the beginning, but the higher we progressed, the larger and angrier the gravel got. With the road surface becoming wife-annoyingly rough, we turned around and headed back to town. Next time, we’ll take the Subaru instead of our 4×4 Nissan Pro 4X off-road pickup truck.
Returning to camp, we faced a serious question about our future. We could either dine tonight on Dianne-cooked spaghetti in the trailer with wine from a box, or we could drop into Duke’s Slickrock Grill, a hundred yards from our trailer, for a real meal with real bottled wine.
Although the vote was close, brisket and ribs at Duke’s beat out the spaghetti dinner option.
