We made it through Capital Reef state park to Torrey yesterday. It was only 50 miles from Hanksville! Too bad we had to climb half a mountain to get to it. (yah, i said only half). (other half is today). Torrey is like a cute little town out of a storey book. We shelled out for a real room in a cute cabin off the main drag, (and by main drag I mean there's a general store and 3 restaurants, some motels and a lot of trees). And it was worth every penny. Most people stay in crappy motels because they don't plan to spend much time in the actual room. Michelle and I used every hour up in that room watching bad cable tv in our towels and eating oreos. I got a serious amount of sleep (10+ hours), a swim, free breakfast, and a hot shower.
Torrey looks like something out of Robinson Crusoe. Thanks for the peace Torrey. If only you had fruit in your general store. We're on to Boulder, Utah next. It's supposed to be similarly cute, and much cooler. Hopefully we won't get caught in the lightning storm (mom-disregard that).
Stay tuned for future updates and thanks for following our journey!
