Fruit Pies Secrets of the National Park Service
The National Park Service is full of great secrets. You need to ask the right questions and explore a bit to find out the latest tour, the secret parking or in this case the pies. As we were walking into the Visitor Center at Capital Reef I over heard one ranger say to the other, "Are we going to stop for pie on the way?" The other replied, "Yes, hopefully they will still have some." So when approached the information desk I was prepared with the right question. "What about those pies?" It turns out that the Gifford Historic Homestead in Fruitas they sell pies - wonderful fruit pies but thy usually sell out by 1:30. We got there in time for a peach and a strawberry rhubarb.
The picture that got away
Driving through Bureau of Land Management lands today I have been seeing signs for Open Range - Cattle. I kept my eyes wide and phone ready for the cattle shot. I was doing one of the many things that I do while Dick drives - knitting, blogging, map reading and writing.Dick murmured, "Cows”. I fumbled for my phone unlocking the screen, choosing video while realizing that that the camera was reflecting my excited face rather than the cows we were passing. The cows complete with cowboy talking on his cell phone. PS Also missed a shot of flock of sheep and a horse on the Open Range. Evidently they don't warrant their own road signs.
