We had decided that we'd taken enough pictures of rocks to last the rest of the trip - how many more interesting rock formations could there be in Utah after Zion and Bryce National Parks? Then we started on our way eastward out of Torrey Utah and drove through Capital Reef National Park. Capital Reef isn't one of the more well-known national parks, but it provides an interesting drive through what's called a "waterpocket fold" in the earth's surface (see www.nps.gov/care); it also includes a historic Mormon homestead from the 1800's.
The weather was on-and-off cloudy with intermittent showers; although not the best for picture taking, we managed to find plenty of subjects. However, our WiFi connection this evening is very poor, so I will have to dispense with loading any more pictures for now and will wait until after we visit Arches and Canyonlands National Parks tomorrow.
By the way, our friend Jerry keeps reminding that by double-clicking on any of the posted pictures, you will be able to view the photo in full-screen mode (to return to the blog after doing so, hit the browser "Back" button).
