By Ken James: I wasn't satisfied with the last shot I had at Gooseneck State Park, so I went back and stayed another night. You never know when your ability to capture scenes like this will end, so I want to fully take advantage of it while I can.

*Plus, Ryder really seems to enjoy it, as you can see from the next photo.

*I wish the moon would've allowed for some astrophotography, but you take what you can get.

Chimney Rock and a Backdrop with Capitol Reef National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While hiking the Chimney Rock Trail with a view looking to the south to the namesake formation in Capitol Reef National Park.

Goosenecks & Natural Bridges - Bears Ears National Monument, UT

Everyone left this morning, so it is just Doug and I left at the campsite. We decided to do a little exploring and headed out to Goosenecks State Park and then on to Natural Bridges National Monument.

Impressive view from the rim at Goosenecks.

Look at the color of that water! It sure was a long way down to the river - definitely wanted to stay away from the edge.

After taking a short walk along the rim at Goosenecks, we drove over to Natural Bridges National Monument. We went on a nice loop hike - going from the parking area at Sipapu Bridge Viewpoint, down to Sipapu Bridge and over to Kachina Bridge, then up to the Kachina Bridge Viewpoint, and returning to the Sipapu Bridge Viewpoint parking area.

Looking down at Sipapu Bridge from the viewpoint.

Making our way down to Sipapu Bridge - ladders, railings, and steps were involved. It was a pretty steep descent!

Another view of Sipapu Bridge, just before the final descent to its base.

Sipapu Bridge - almost to its base!

Beautiful view of Sipapu Bridge from underneath.

We continued down the wash toward Kachina Bridge. It was a lovely walk, plenty of canyon walls and a bit of sand to trek through.

Gorgeous striated canyon walls as we neared Kachina Bridge.

Kachina Bridge - just before we walked under it.

Looking back at Kachina Bridge - it is impressive!

Just a short walk from Kachina Bridge are some petroglyphs and ruins. It was a bit of a scramble to get up to them, but well worth the effort.

There were pamphlets near the petroglyphs that provided detailed information about the site. The park does not promote this area, but if you stumble upon it, you are more than welcome to check it out.

It was now time to climb up out of the canyon - it was a steep climb back out and the temperatures were a bit warm by the time we got to the top. Luckily, there were a couple of stops during the climb to rest and take photos!

Beautiful view of the fall colors in the wash, as we made our way to the top.

One last view of Kachina Bridge as we climbed out of the wash.

We made it to the Kachina Bridge Viewpoint, crossed the road, and followed the trail back to Sipapu Bridge Viewpoint and to our truck. Great hike and thrilled to actually visit Natural Bridges - a place I had never been to before. Bears Ears National Monument is full of treasures, glad that it has been preserved for all of us to experience.

The two peaks in the distance are the "Bears Ears" of Bears Ears National Monument.

Half the Sky is Stars

As the day fails to black Half the sky is stars Half is clouds Which continue to roll in Soon enough so thick Even a half moon couldn't peek through Were there a moon at all But I'm grateful for the stars Too the clouds Behind which Twinkling pinpricks

As the day fails to black Half the sky is stars Half is clouds Which continue to roll in Soon enough so thick Even a half moon couldn’t peek through Were there a moon at all But I’m grateful for the stars Too the clouds Behind which Twinkling pinpricks in the blackness Play hide-and-seek With star gazers like me In the quiet heat of the night (more…)

Our Capitol Reef National Park day, Saturday, June 4, was a bit of an experiential sandwich. It starts right out front of the Thousand Lakes Mountains and ends in Cathedral Valley.

That morning, with the sun fully out, I was able to grab a bunch of photographs of those mountains. In the evening, I didn’t get any of Cathedral Valley (’cause we were racing to Moab by that point).

And inbetween?

Yeah. We went to town on Capitol Reef.

We started with a quick stop at Twin Rocks because, well, Twin Rocks. A quick stop ‘cause I was wondering if I somehow missed the entrance to the park. Which I didn’t.

At some point, you’re just in the park.

And by Twin Rocks... you’re definitely in the park.

After that, we gazed in horror at an actual fault line then made our way to the Goosenecks overlook.

Now the story there is that we drove a gravel road a ways until a parking circle. The couple in the car ahead of us were already up the trail to the lookout point. And by the time we were almost there as well... we kind of lost our way. Oh... we could see the couple ahead of us along the rail on the other side of some rocks. But we couldn’t figure out how they got there.

Eventually, we were above them and called down to them for directions. At which point the woman pointed out we could simply climb down from where we were. Which we did... after a touch of anxiety.

The other story from the park happens after the visitors center and the school house.

We actually had it in our minds that we could hike the mile ‘n back it would take to see Hickman Bridge, a natural rock formation. And, while we did end up walking a mile, we basically walked a half-mile up and a half-mile back.

Yeah. Never made it to Hickman Bridge.

However, we still did see Hickman Bridge because, on our way up, we ran across a couple from Europe who were on their way down from seeing it. And they were kind enough to show us the pictures they took with their cell phones.

So...

Pretty much we hiked to Hickman Bridge...

And saw it anyway.

🤨

In the meantime, the Capitol Reef National Park photo album and maps are here.

And my quick take the day after our time in Capitol Reef National Park is here.

Enjoy!

Gooseneck State Park ... I'll post a wide angle in the comments. It's really a bizarre scene. There are actually three of these goosenecks right in a row. The San Juan River has an artistic flow of its own. Shot on a recent helicopter tour of the area. Definitely worth it.

Today was a nice day off. I am pleased to say I don't feel as foggy tonight. But man did I feel foggy for most of today.

I slept alright last night. I have been having a lot of nightmares and that has made me feel a little uncentered when I wake up.

But I got up and went to find James. Got a smooch and went to wash my face. I liked my hair today. I put eye liner on and I felt really cute.

The plan for the day was to go have brunch and look for pumpkins. So that's exactly what we did. James came and laid in bed with me for a minute because it was very cold this morning!!! When we left the house we both had jackets on. It was like it became fall overnight.

We decided not to go to an actual pumpkin patch. Instead we would go to a garden center not far from camp. This was the best choice for us honestly.

But we started with brunch. I wanted to go to south side diner. And so we drove downtown. I was surprised that the five below that's been sitting empty since the begining of the year was finally getting product!! So that was exciting.

The diner was really busy but we got a table pretty fast. Our waitress was very sweet. James got french toast and scrapple. I got a grilled cheese and scrambled eggs. We shared fries. We would eat and look at pictures of Jack o lanterns for inspiration. It was fun. But like always half way through the meal I started feeling very bad. I went in the bathroom and put water on my neck and it helped a little bit I don't know why it made me feel so bad all of a sudden. Sucks. Just want to feel normal.

We would get back in the car soon and drove down 83 to get the the farm stand.

I have used their parking lot before because it's next to the Dutch market I like going to. But I had never explored it before. And it was so cool!! We started inside which was all Christmas trees and lights and so many ornaments. Me and James usually buy each other and ornament for Christmas so I for sure think we will go back there. I love the food ones best.

We would get to guess some pumpkin weights. Their biggest one was almost 1400lbs!!! That's crazy! But they also had very little tiny ones. James decided they would get one very round pumpkin and just give it a giant mouth. And I decided I would make a snowman with three small pumpkins. I also wanted a gooseneck squash. To make a goose. I really enjoyed walking around and finding the best pumpkins. Also reading all the names of the different types of pumpkins. It was a lot of fun.

We walked through their little hay maze. And looked at the flowers. And after we paid we would come back in to look at their trees and found a butterfly bush with monarchs on it! It was beautiful! It was such a nice day.

We went over to their other building to look at the koi fish and the bird houses. But it was time to go.

We went down the street to Andy Nelson's to get BBQ for later. I wanted Mac and cheese and 6 pieces of corn bread. So I could have some for tomorrow. I love their cornbread. It's the best.

I sat on the bench while James ordered. And once the food was ready it was time to go home.

I was falling asleep sitting in the car. We wouldn't have a ton of time when we got back home before we had to leave again for my appointment. But I needed to lay down.

So when we got back I got in bed. And slept for an hour. I had a pretty intense nightmare but I am still glad I slept.

I woke up right after 2. And got myself fixed up. I had a piece of cornbread and sat on the couch with James. And then we were out.

While I was in the doctor's office James went across the street to get groceries. And my appointment went fine. The person who normally does my injections was teaching the tech how to do my injections because I'm one of the only ones who gets it in my legs and not my stomach. He messed up just a little and I had a funny lump on my leg. But that was okay. It didn't hurt it was mostly just funny looking.

I had to get blood work after that. I felt bad when the phlebotomist told me she got a blowout in the her on 83 this morning. But it only came up when we were talking about how chilly it was outside. She was very gentle with my blood work but it still hurt though. And I was incredibly tired so I was mostly just quiet. I was ready to go home.

James was waiting in the car for me. They told me they forgot the bags and had to run back in the grocery store but they were already done. So we headed home.

When we got back here I got in bed. I just wanted to be cozy. James started making a slow cooker soup for dinner. I eventually would pull myself out of bed to cut some fabric for bears. I did work on my sewing machine for a few minutes. But then there were firemen outside and I was on the fire escape watching them to see if something was going on. But we aren't sure what happened.

I hung out on the couch after that. I took my nail polish off. We had our soup which was very good. I think it will be nice to have with ramen noodles. I will probably make the leftovers with them. And then I've just been cuddling with sweetp on the couch. It started raining a little while ago. We were able to get thr kitchen window closed. That's really how you know the seasons are changing. Cause getting that window closed is a struggle.

Now I think I will take a bath. Tomorrow we have a pretty large field trip group. But I'm looking forward to it. It will be a nice day.

I hope you all sleep well tonight. Take care of each other. Goodnight!

Night Sky - October 2023 Since there is no electricity in Goosenecks State Park, it is very dark at night. In fact it is dark enough to see multitudes of stars. The first image is Orion, but it is almost unrecognizable to those who are used to only seeing a few stars of the constellation. The red dotted line in the fourth image is a plane which happened to pass by during the 15 seconds that the camera shutter was open. The fifth and six images are the night sky over our RV. In the fifth image, the RV is just a very dark shadow at the bottom of the image. In the sixth (last) image, I set the camera to flash and then remain open for 15 seconds. The result is a night view of the RV with all of the stars overhead. MWM
