Capitol Reef National Park

One trade off for all of this big, wide open beauty is not having big city conveniences. Mom and Dad have had to piece together meals from gas stations and small markets. These last few days have been exciting in the food choice arena. We met Randy, an organic farmer in Cainville. I got to run around with Zeke, the farm dog and attempt to herd goats. We got fresh baked bread and goat cheese. It's too early for veggies as last night's low was 18. In Torrey Utah Mom and Dad celebrated their anniversary with a gourmet dinner complete with a bottle of wine and dessert. Cafe Diablo is an oasis in a food desert. Our route has been fantastic. Many people have stopped to ask about our trip and to take pictures of me in the trailer. We climb up to 9600 ft today. I hope we will all stay warm enough. I may have to get out and push!
