Day 9 - Torrey, UT > Capitol Reef NP > Moab, UT

Next morning we were only 3 miles from Capitol Reef NP so after our $25 breakfast we took the Scenic Drive next to the cliffs. Lots more red rocks!
The coolest part was at the end - the paving ran out and you just ended up driving down a canyon on a dirt road. I could tell Jill was into it. She’d probably still be driving if I didn’t suggest a U Turn.

Back out to the main road where we soon left behind the red rocks and entered pure desert. Like in so pure that if the car broke down they would find your dessicated body the next day, dead of thirst. Like cow skull desert.
We did pass an RV with psycho ATVs going up and down sand dunes in the 100 degrees. And worse, a team of bicyclists, some of whom were waiting for their buddy a mile down the road. I felt sorry for them - they must have had 50 miles in the scorching heat to look forward to that day. Why?
On to Interstate 70, stopping for a french fry lunch (big breakfast) at a lonely Burger King, and on to Moab. At least if we had broken down on the interstate, we wouldn’t have died.....maybe.

Made it to the condo south of Moab at Rim Village a little early, so went shopping. In the condo around 3:30 and it’s great - nice decor, so much more personality than the Kanab house. 3 Br, 2 Ba, great view and the pool is cool if a bit crowded by large (Mormon) families with toddlers.
This is the only condo complex we see in town so it’s doubly great.
Dinner a Jill Special at home.
