Capitol Reef National Park

THIS is how the "Full-Timers" travel!
Taylor's Casita on Wheels!


























'
When WE grow up, we want to be a half million dollar full time HOUSE!  WITH a chauffeur,   puh-LEEZ!  Until then, we will be content to travel in our casita!  We are snug and comfortable!
Notice the "Toy Box" Behind the Rig!

Colorado Plateau Rimrock

The Colors!  The Layers! 

 In a Day or a Year or ...?

Barn near the Mormon Settlement of Fruita

Done with a HUGE Paintbrush!

Capitol Reef Canyon

Build Up!  Tear Down!

Reds!  Purples! Greys!  Oranges! 

Majestic!

 The Divine Creator at Work!

Petroglyphs near Fruita

The Fruita School House

Capitol Reef was formed from Rock Folds
Like a Wrinkled Tablecloth Atop
 The Colorado Plateau

Random Rock Tower!
The photographs above are taken in  Capitol Reef National Park - created by a fold in the rock on the Colorado Plateau.       Tonight, we are camped on Moab - a touristy town, just South of the Arches National Park.  Tomorrow, we will be up early....hopefully, before the crowds awake -  for a tour through the park.  When we attempted to make reservations for a coveted space in the Dead Horse Campground, overlooking Canyonlands National Park, we were informed that we would have to WAIT until October 12 for a space!  We'll try our luck at Horse Thief Campgrounds on Wednesday - a first come, first served BLM campground nearby.  We're not sure how all these ROCK pictures are coming across!  We WISH ALL of you could be with us to experience first hand this amazing adventure!
