Thursday, May 30
We finally had a slow day! We slept in until 8:30. Once underway, we drove west of Hanksville UT on Rt 24 and then 3 miles back a sketchy dirt toad to the Mars Desert Research Station. Here we flew the drone trying to get some aerial photos of the Bentonite Hills. By coincidence, there was a massive college robotics competition there today of potential Mars rovers!
Next we drove 24 west to Capitol Reef NP, one of Utah’s “mighty five” national parks. Unfortunately, the scenic drive is closed all summer for repairs so there wasn't much to do. We had a nice picnic by the Fremont River and I made my Corona Arch YouTube video.
Then we drove into the small but expensive town of Torrey and heard the news of the verdict in the Trump hush money case. After a plain rice dinner, it was off to bed early for our 4 AM wakeup tomorrow to see sunrise in the Cathedral Valley loop of Capitol Reef national park.
