Journey to Dinosaur Valley






Okay, Okay.
I may be over-selling it a little. It could just as easily be called Dinosaur Footprint Valley.

It's a nice little place to hike around in the vicinity of a gift shop/trailer full of every imaginable variety of poster, cap, T-shirt, keychain, chart, book and bauble themed on Dinosaurs... and ice cream.

At some point (long ago I think) Dinos made footprints in the mud. Lots of them are still there.

Hey, It's only $5 to get in. Nearby is a park full of giant inflatable dinosaurs which I'm sure carry their own educational value on the value of money. Also nearby is a curio (Chinese for "crap no one in China will buy"?) shop.

There are two pictures I wish I had gotten; on the way out we saw a sign warning us that if we saw what looked like human footprints among the dinos, they were either faked by someone long ago (who may have moved on to e-mailing us regarding a vast sum of money in an African bank), or they were made by a dinosaur with small feet whose footprints just look human all these years later, so ignore those. That sign and the prints they refer to (which I didn't see) would make a nice couple of pictures. Being told what to think is always kind of insulting.
We don't believe the Flintstones is real. There are lots of cave drawings of dinosaurs by the way, they must all be fakes. Ignore those too.
