Capital Reef National Park

 We traveled to Capital Reef and stayed in historic Fruita.  Located on a small river that flows year round, it became a small agricultural center with a thriving fruit farm, so Fruita.  The campground is in a series of orchards with apple and pears in the trees right now.  In the evening, the deer wander into the campground to feed.






















I went on an early evening hike that was a bit rugged and beautiful.











The next day, Susan and I walked down a cool slot canyon.  It is what is sounds like and u just do not want to be in there if it rains, as they fill up quickly.











Susan took the next morning off and I went fishing.  We traveled to a few mountain lakes and used float tubes to catch rainbow and cutthroat trout.























Yesterday, we came here to Zion, more on that later.  We are doing well, no one has left anyone yet.

Take care, 

Susan and Larry

Made me feel at home! Today, we headed for St. Johns.  We took a great coastal hike and then ate lunch at the world famous reversing falls.  When the large tide comes it, it cover...
