Capital Reef National Park Utah

We arrived here at Sleepy Hollow RV park last Friday and we’re about a half hour east of Capital Reef National Park.  We did another hike today up to a beautiful natural stone bridge.  The weather is perfect.  Low 80’s with lot’s of sun.

Here are some shots from our travels around the area.

Tonight when we returned from a scenic drive, we found a married couple in the RV park from Indiana that had set up two large, powerful telescopes (with 12″ reflectors) and were inviting people to look through them at Mars, Venus, Saturn and other really cool stars.  We could actually see the rings and moons around Saturn and Jupiter.  It was amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it except in pictures.  People are so interesting and bring such different backgrounds with them.  I love that we never know who or what we’ll run into.

And as promised, here’s a video that John did of our friend Dale Whitney performing some cowboy poetry for your pleasure and ours! 🙂
