Teakettle Junction
A necessary photo stop in the middle of the desert. There was a creeeepy glass head filled with what looked like ashes at the base of the sign. I'll stick to teakettles, thanks.

The collapsed cabin
I think when we were here around 3-4 years ago the cabin was still standing, and I remember thinking that it looked like it would fall down at any moment.

Fossils again
When we walked past this boulder we saw that it was covered in fossils. We spent a while looking through the area - nearly every rock was covered in them!
