State Parks, Historic Sites, and Museums need your help.

Throughout the country, important state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, and museums are in trouble. Because of the recent rise in gasoline prices and the general world-wide financial collapse, state parks, historic sites, and museums are in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Most operate on a thin margin and will not weather these hard times without your help.

Places Earth recently encountered closed state parks in Arizona and California is threatening to close all state parks. The story is similar throughout the country.

Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please find a worthy local or distant historic site or museum that is in financial danger and donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep these parks open. It will be your loss.

Dinosaur National Monument

Dinosaur National Monument straddles the Utah / Colorado border with a main driving path and Visitor Center in each state. The geology of the two sections is different. The Utah side is more related to dinosaurs and hilly with historic sites while the Coloraro section has grand vistas and deep canyons.

There are two main driving paths and numerous hiking paths. Cub Creek Road is in Utah and Harpers Corner Scenic Drive is in Colorado with sections in Utah. The Harpers Corner Scenic Drive ends at the goosenecks, but requires a hike to see them.

It is difficult to see the man with a fluit in the dark spot at center.


It is not hard to see the lizard near the center of these photos. What is harder is the other lizard and the man above it.

At the end of the road is Josie's Homstead.
