May 8

Had breakfast in the campground again the hit the road about 9.
We are headed west to Capitol Reef National Park and Torrey, Utah.

We saw 3 or 4 antelope beside the highway near Green River.

The first picture is rush hour on Route 24 ,Utah, next services 100 miles, you want to make sure the tank is full!

We saw these petroglyphs on a canyon wall on the way to Torrey, they are from the Fremont or Anasazi tribes.

In the middle of Capitol Reef is an old Mormon settlement named Fruita. It was settled in the 1800's but no one has lived here since 1969.
There are orchards that were planted a century ago that still produce fruit.

The mule deer love the grass and trees.

We are staying at the Wonderland RV park. Anytime a park is named Wonderland or Paradise, you know it isn't. We are parked next to the highway and the showers cost $5. One night will be enough.

Torrey is about 2 blocks long. A general store, a couple of motels and restaurants and 2 gas stations. They do have a coffeeshop that makes great coffee and homemade chocolates!

Tomorrow we're off south to Bryce Canyon.
