Michael's visit trip to Josie's Cabin & State lines

After driving through the Ouray area and seeing the formations at Fantasy Canyon we were so close to the state line, we got some pics of the family with the Colorado state line & the Utah state line. Then we headed back to town and made a stop at the Dinosaur National Monument just outside Jensen, since the monument is closed right now, we kept going to Josie's Cabin. For those of you unfamiliar with Josie's cabin. Josie Morris Bassett is famous for well hiding Outlaws. They say that this cabin and the land around it was built up by Josie and then she would hide outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid! Just a little bit of history on the Vernal area. The field (meadow) behind Josie's cabin.
This is Josie's Cabin. Notice how uneven the the roof is and how very low the ceilings are. The plaque's all said that Josie, her grandson, and a few of his friends built this from the ground up.

This is one of the plaques in front of the cabin, it tells Josie's story and has a few pictures of her.

Jo with the Michael clan!
