April 9, 2009 - Moab has several parks. One is located at 100 West and 400 North. It isn't far off the main street. A few of us went to the park for a few hours. The five-year old, three-year old and infant were all in their delight. The park had plenty of good playground equipment for those age groups. On one end of the park, there is a skateboard park and a covered stage. Centered in the park is the playground equipment. There is plenty of open space for other activities.

Adjacent to the park is a community swim center. It didn't seem to be the typical center; It had several adults doing laps.

After lunch, we visited the rock shop that is near the edge of Moab. There were all sorts of interesting rocks. The three-year old picked up several rocks including some that were quite valuable. He was instructed to put one back, so from about ten feet away, he found the right pile where he got it from and threw the rock back into its proper pile. We learned at the store that there is an area beyond Potash (about 20 miles from Moab) where many of the store's collectables are picked up.

We journeyed out this way before it started to get dark. On the way, there are dinosaur prints that can be examined from the road along the Colorado River. The prints are high up on a vertical slab of rock. They are white on a dark slab so they are quite visible. By the time, we hit the end of the road beyond Potash, we had to turn back because the road was bad and it was getting dark.
