Today was mostly a re-positioning day. We drove about 400 miles from Moab to Pocatello, Idaho. Along the way we passed through Green River, Utah. There is a small museum there which is mostly about John Wesley Powell. For those of you who want to know, John Wesley Powell led a river expedition down the Green River and the Colorado River through the grand canyon in 1869. He was the first to do that. This is a replica of a boat that was used on the expedition. It is a far cry from the big rubber rafts that are used these days.

Interesting side note: He was a professor of geology at Illinois Wesleyan University. That is located in Bloomington, Illinois, the town I was born in.
