This Mortal Journey

Things were going too well

The day starting out well. sunny and beautiful. we went to capitol reef and did a hike to the cassidy arch. We intended to do more hiking but we thought we would take a break because it was so hot. We stopped at the campground bathroom for 5 minutes and when we returned the car [...]

Capitol Reef

A nice leisurely morning at the Kiva. Had a few laughs when someone from Australia asked us what a tamale was and we weren’t sure what to say. Then a guy walked in and says, “Nice view ya got. Do you have any meat?”  He wanted a burger. Drove to Torrey and checked in to [...]

I'd encourage you to go and check it out.

Best Chile Rellenoes

Do you love chile rellenoes? Have you ever gone to a restaurant and they bring you a scrambled egg with a canned chile inside? Disappointing, isn't it? Well, your search is over.
