The truck that didn't make it - a photo on Flickriver

            The remains of an old truck are slowly reclaimed by the beautiful red-rock desert of southeastern Utah.  I like how the oxidation of the trucks metal is starting to match the natural oxidation of the iron in the red-rocks.  This was seen in Valley of the Gods.  I have driven by Valley of the gods many times on my way to Monument Valley and other places and I was glad we took the time to visit this place this time.  There are lots of interesting sandstone formations.  Some I even liked better than monument valley.  Plus its free and the dirt road is in pretty good condition.  We made it in our 2wd minivan across the whole park.  These truck remains are near a sharp turn on a hill.  I am guessing the driver didn't make the turn and rolled down the hill to where the truck was ultimately left.
