"In dinosaurland - always be aware of your surroundings...you never know when you'll turn around and be surprised by a Allosaurus, a Camarasaurous, or a Zuccasaurous with a camera...saurous?!"
Thanks for the comment, Joe. A Zuccasaurous! Me? After saurously considering this comment, I think that my youngest son just may be onto something. Ha. Before our departure from Vernal, Grandma Zucc and I were able to take a few pics of modern-day dinosaurs. Enjoy!

Pretty scary stuff, huh? But hey, you can't blame the human species for wanting to have some fun with these magnificent creatures.
Not a dinosaur and not extinct, but worthy to be noted is the new sculptured bull found not to far from the main business district in Vernal.

| Charging bull - USU mascot called Big Blue? |
It is a bronze bull, sculpted by artist Jocelyn Russell. It is located just south of the USU Uintah Basin Vernal campus and is 10' tall, 12' long, 6' wide, and more than 2,000 pounds. It was installed in February 2011 in the middle of a roundabout.
What a great weekend getaway this was - a chance to not only have a little fun, but also to renew our spirits. It is a marvelous, and I must say, a little bizarre, world we live in.

Great pictures! You know, USU ought to do a bull run downtown Logan! That would be exciting!
Zuccasautus has a nice ring to it!
