Capitol Reef

After Goblin Valley we hit the road west thru Capitol Reef. The scenery here is unreal.

Capitol Reef

After a while we found a creek running over and through the slickrock that had carved a series of large round holes and chutes through the rock. Skinny dipping ensued after assessing the temperature of the water with a big toe. After jumping in it took a good 45 seconds to catch ones breath. Being right next to the highway we didn't want to risk getting called in to ranger Rick by some do-gooder with a cell phone, and applied a modicum of modesty to the nudity.

Happy Fathers Day!
A while later while driving through Utah... We see large vehicles pulling monster machines made for aquatic travel. Up ahead a sign says STATE BLOCKADE. What the?!? Shortly thereafter two of Utah's finest tag team us with questions about our fishing habits and how said behaviour has any bearing on the contents of our vehicle. We answered their questions and they let us go with suspicious looks and a long look into the back of the car.
