Last Day in Capitol Reef / Richfield, UT

This morning we pulled up the stakes er the hydraulic jacks and drove a grueling 72 miles to Richfield, Utah.  Actually due the pilot missing a well disguised turn and a freeway on ramp that did not exist, we added an unnecessary 32 additional miles.  Hey, these things are hard to turn around and sometimes it is just as easy (and safer) to "go around" so that is what we did.  So, no pictures of anything interesting today but I have included a few from our roaming yesterday which included a side trip to another National Forest called Fish Lake.  We loved Capitol Reef and it is definitely on our list of places to revisit.  For now the "Red Rock Tour" is more or less over but we have some desert left to cross - all of Nevada to be more specific.  More on that later.
