We spent a cozy evening in the trailer as the wind blew all around us. This morning we awoke to a beautiful sunrise and decided to head out early for a hike over to the charcoal ovens. As we came upon them, we were stunned by their beauty. The engineering of these seem to be quite a feat. They were built in the early 1870's by Italian masons. They are 35 ft tall and have a 27 ft diameter. They would hold 35 cords of wood each during the firing process. Necessity is the mother of invention! We hiked back to the trailer and head towards Utah. We found a great campsite at Fishlake campground. Again....we are the only ones here! Tomorrow we leave for Moab where we will set up camp for a few days so that we may go in search of dinosaur tracks and more petroglyphs.
