this book and we ended up winning the grand prize

for doing 80 out of the 101 things that they listed. some of the things

we had to do was go camping, fishing, swimming, take pictures of

all the dino's in the uintah (u-en-ta) basin

(and let me tell you there is a lot)

and lots of others some we could not

do beacuse they would be on the same day as another one

at the other side of the basin we ended up winning

hiking and more
