Capital Reef National Park, Utah - Day 20

We left our Goblin Valley BLM spot early in the morning. We ran out of water last night and we are running very low of food supplies. We had left over meatloaf and beans last night for dinner! The meatloaf was great though, I had added blue cheese and mushrooms to it. 

We showed up to the visitor center and the "campground full" sign was up. We have never had this problem. We often get the last spot so I decided to run in and make sure. Well, a new group of rangers and hosts are on duty and they forgot to switch the sign. So I ran out and switched it for them and we grabbed one of the few slots left. The campground filled up quickly behind us! What luck we have! 

I love it here! It's still a desert but the river and the snow melt off provides for enough life and more greenness. I really would love to see the orchards in the fall and pick fresh fruit. The Mormon pioneers planted a beautiful orchard and heirloom varieties of apples, pears, peach, and other fruits still grow.

Marmots! 

Afternoon snack with my 11 month almost 3 week old. She also says banana now. Her molar is almost all the way out. 

Showing me her oso. She is still not walking but can stand easily.
