<\/span>These spots bring back fun memories and are rather special to us.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>About half way through this period, we will be in Las Vegas for a Stampin&rsquo; Up! event.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAbout the time we started planning the SU travel, Pat was in her terrible accident.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>As her recovery progressed it became likely that she would be able to enjoy a bit of an extended driving trip linked to the SU event.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>We then began to think about the places that were on the top of our &ldquo;must visit again&rdquo; list.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span><span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tYou might note that our title format is slightly different from our norm.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>This is because we used the same title (without the year) in 2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/beltguy.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/01\/hello-from-torrey-uta\/\">(link to our 2013 blog)<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe are staying at the Capitol<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp;

<\/span>We left Evergreen Tuesday morning and drove to Grand Junction.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>As will be the case on most of our travel days, we are going to try to keep the mileage down so that we can enjoy our travel a bit more that our normal hustle and bustle travel {grin}.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Wednesday we travelled to Richfield Utah which is close to the junction of I-70 and I-15.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Both nights we stayed in Holiday Inn Express (our hotel of choice).\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe weather, so far, has been almost perfect.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>Clear skies and cool shirt sleeve temperatures.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tToday we toured Capitol Reef National Park.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>We have been to most all of the National Parks in Utah and this one is a real jewel that not many folks know about.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>One of the highlights of the park is a 20 mile round trip drive to Capitol Gorge.<span style=\"mso-spacerun:yes\">&nbsp; <\/span>I have included a few photos.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThat is all for this post.\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Capitol Reef 1 (Medium)\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1264\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/beltguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capitol-Reef-1-Medium-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Capitol Reef 2 (Medium)\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1265\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/beltguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capitol-Reef-2-Medium-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Capitol Reef 3 (Medium)\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1266\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/beltguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capitol-Reef-3-Medium-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Capitol Reef 4 (Medium)\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1267\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/beltguy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Capitol-Reef-4-Medium-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello from Torrey, UT 2019 Thursday afternoon &ndash;
