May 20, 2014 Travel to Capital Reef National Park Part One

Warning: This blog is picture intense! (which is why this is in two parts).

Our travels today took us on Utah’s scenic highways 95 and 24 and all I can say is OH MY!!!!

So come along and enjoy our view.

Some steep grades and cows too:

Combs Ridge:

Where we went thru the ridge:

I did find out that many of these swirls were formed when the Colorado Plateau rose and the seas left – the swirls were caused by the rushing water.  (I still think some of these look like cow plops – LOL!  Given the surrounding area – maybe even dinosaur plops.)

The two lane road took us along the mountains and interesting rock formations of the Colorado Plateau:

Heading down to the Colorado River:

This scenery is almost prehistoric looking – I was waiting to see a T-Rex around the corner:

The Colorado River Bridge:

Our Journey continues on part two of 5/20/14. 

May 18 - 19, 2014 Hanging out and Moving North

Sunday was a hang out kind of day. 

I did finish up all my blogs and hopefully our next stop will have better internet.  I cleaned this morning which was a mistake.  We had a lot of wind this afternoon which picked up a lot of dust and you know the rest.  Then overnight we were invaded by no-see-ums coming thru the open screens.  Since their life span is very short, we had lots of dead carcasses all over – that will teach me to clean again.  (I did do a quick dust before we left – LOL!)

So today we headed north to Blanding to a full hookup park to clean out our tanks, (and vacuum the inside – ), do laundry, restock the pantry, etc., etc..

I have uploaded all the blogs – there are 8 of them (including this one).  If you did not get them all, please email me at gardenhavens@hotmail.com.  

We are heading northwest tomorrow on another adventure so stay tuned and enjoy today.

Stats for today:
