After exploring Huntington State Park we spent the next night at Millsite State Park which is only another 30 miles down the road. Millsite was an unexpectedly cool place with beautiful towering cliffs surrounding the reservoir and campground. We did a great single track hike around the northeast side of the reservoir. Millsite is also close to the major access points for the San Rafael Swell area. We zipped out to Rochester Rock Panel one evening to check out some really cool petroglyphs. We would definitely come back to this campground just to explore more of the trail and as a jumping off point for the Swell.
For our first camping trip of the season we decided to explore Huntington State Park. Huntington is located about 140 miles southeast of Salt Lake City off of Highway 10. Huntington and Highway 10 are great jumping off points for the San Rafael Swell area. Huntington also provides convenient access to the Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. We finally made it out to the museum and dinosaur quarry which was really cool. We managed to hike all the trails out at the quarry despite a brisk wind and a blanket of new snow at the campsite. You can also do a "nature walk" around the reservoir at the campground which is really just a three mile walk along a gravel road. Despite the weather, it was great to be out camping and exploring again.
I have been struggling to get the T@b back to her glory days after the vandalism and subsequent sloppy paint job on the trim. The auto shop didn't tape off the entire trailer when they sprayed the trim so there was a line of overspray down the middle of the T@b. I was mainly using a liquid chemical to take the spray off but the task was tedious. I also tried the clay rub which worked on the windows but not the body. I finally decided to go aggressive and used 2000 grit wet sandpaper. The wet sandpaper really took the overspray off with minimal effort. I then waxed the whole trailer to rub out the scratches and to get the shine back. It looks pretty good. In certain light you can still see the sandpaper scratches, but otherwise she looks pretty shiny and white. I still need to work on the back logo, but we added a nice tag line with some rub-on vinyl lettering.
