Saturday 3/18 Went to bed last night thinking I would stay at Capital Reef another couple of nights. There are a lot of nice hikes and drives and I could easily stay two days. But my scotch blood kept sayin’ there are better places for free! There are a lot of Back Country Byways in…

Friday, 3/17 Lazy day of organizing, shorts walks and a quest to check in. Capital Reef NP campground is situated in old time orchards in “Fruita”. The Fremont River runs thru it and there are 3-4 nice walks/ hikes that start from the campground. I started walking to the Visitor Center to get some post…

Thursday No shower this morning! Decided to head out and start heading towards Moab. Of course that means 30 some miles out. Beautiful morning, low 60s, it will take a couple of hours to get back to pavement. I haven’t checked in, as you already know, for a few days. I have a new phone…

Saturday Up over Lost Trails down into Idaho following the Salmon River. I wanted to camp in the same spot I used in November, it’s by the river and it has a shitter. It’s was already occupied so I continued on. There was room for two units there but …… not tonight. I found a…
