Okay, I know I was just talking about getting along with Old Man Winter, but sometimes you just gotta run away. We took a three hour drive to spend two hours at Goblin Valley in central Utah. Totally worth it.

Nobody knows when Goblin Valley was first discovered, because the cowboys who knew about it all along, didn't really tell anybody. In the 1940s, Arthur Chaffin took a bunch of photos and pretty soon people started lobbying for some sort of preservation effort.

Well, it worked, and now thousands of people visit yearly. In fact, one of the only reasons we got pictures without people in it is because it's January. What do you think? If you had stumbled upon it, would you keep it a secret or tell the world?
