Utah-Capitol Reef National Park 9.20.13




 The pies above are made for the Gifford Farmhouse and are DIVINE!! We each had to try one, I got blackberry and rhubarb strawberry, Ron got peach and apple and Jim and Lynda got apple and peach. Before Lynda could get theirs in the rig, she dropped her bag of pies and they ended up looking like strudel.

The rock formation in this National Park was beautiful. I think "this is the best yet, and we go to another National Park and  I think this is the best!!" Every park we have been too, the scenery is different and breathtaking.



Along the side of the road, part of the The Reef National Park, there were petrographs that were so interesting and easily recognizable. 
We could see them from this board walk.

We saw many U-Pick signs, but this orchard was the only one that was not pad-locked closed. We had such fun picking the apples-only a dollar a pound to take them out of the orchard, and you could eat all you want while you were in the orchard.

I am so glad that I never had to pick "anything" for a living!!!
When we picked all that we wanted, we weighed and the $ was put in that little box above the hole in the post!! $1 per pound!! The $ was well worth the laughs we had, the apples were just extra.
Another fun day-full of beautiful scenery and laughter with good friends.
