And after I just emailed you asking about your upcoming destinations! Hopefully they will come up with an easier solution and he will respond quickly to treatment so you guys can get back to exploring as soon as possible, I know how much joy you both take from your adventures.<br /><br />And I have to comment on how gorgeous Capitol Reef is and how handsome that blue spotted lizard was. I know I've said it before, but Utah is just amazing. Enjoy it a little extra for me. ;)Pam https://www.blogger.com/profile/05979446142128610261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-83626553236992662432014-09-13T09:29:58.867-04:002014-09-13T09:29:58.867-04:00The colors on that trail were wonderful, weren'...The colors on that trail were wonderful, weren't they!

I love the close up of the rock layers. The one picture reminds me of a hamburger. You can see the different layers, bun, lettuce, meat cheese, and tomato. See it?<br /><br />So how was the campground? Judging from your light clothing, it looks like the weather must have been about perfect. <br /><br />You would hate hiking with us, because we are those dreaded talkers! <br /><br />I hope someday we can get up there.
