Capital Reef NP

You’re right Mom, you can bathe in small amounts of water if you have to. I boil about two quarts and add another quart of cold water and it’s plenty for my shower. I have not found a National Park with showers yet. When Daryl, Karen and I were in Kings Canyon, they had showers for pay.

When I left, Daryl and I were kidding around about the show Then Came Bronson and I thought it would be cute to see how many people are old enough to remember it. I liked the nomad style of Cain in Kung Fu, but I couldn’t see myself walking barefoot and karate chopping bad guys.

I will hang around Capital Reef today and look for a hiking trail. I may try to gather some wood for a fire, yesterday I paid $12 for wood that lasted two hours. I won’t do that again.

    Wow, I think a manufactured fireplace log would last longer than 2 hours.

    You are kind of squiggling around Utah, aren’t you? How far north do you plan to go this trip? Are you hoping to get up to Yellowstone, or will you save that for later in the year? You have to get back here in time for Thanksgiving, and [possibly] our little backpacking trip.

    It’s getting kind of late to visit Yellowstone, unless you want cold and snow. At an elevation of about 8000 feet that far north winter comes early.

  3. Mom says:

    Many long years ago, were we at Yellowstone or Glacier when it started to snow, and we packed up and moved to Zion for the week?

  4. Don says:

    I thought we were at Yellowstone in July when it started to snow. At least that’s my memory.

    If you happen to make it over to California you could see Richard and me. We aren’t that far away from each other.

    It was June or July, I’m pretty sure about that. It was gone and warm again in a few hours.
