Day 17 - (08/26) Torrey, UT

This was a day to see Capitol Reef National Park. We’d never heard of it until yesterday. Now we discover it preserves the “Waterpocket Fold” created by vast warping of rock when the Colorado Plateau shifted 65 million years ago.

We have the park to ourselves

Grand Wash drive had many cautions about storms and flash floods.

Thousand Lakes RV Park has been very nice. Here's our view from the front of the trailer.

Try this place …
Slacker’s Burger Joint in Torrey, UT is a fun place for a sandwich dinner or ice cream treat. The place is far from fancy, but their hamburgers are outstanding! The owners came to our table to share travel experiences … nice folks. Caution: they collect license plates for display on the restaurant walls and ceiling.
