Escalante State Park, Escalante, UT, to Singletree Na Forest CG, near Torrey, UT: Went to our little western restaurant for breakfast this morning. Love this little town of Escalante. Nothing fancy, but really friendly people. Back to our site and started getting ready to leave. Left Escalante at 11:30, drove over that scary part of Rt. 12 and then up into Dixie National Forest. We’re at about 9000 ft. in a pretty pine forest. No hook-ups, but our site will get full sun so the solar panels will do well. We’re across from water and the restroom. A threatening storm followed us all the way up into the mountains. Shortly after we got set up it rained a little. Put up our hummingbird feeder and watched them fighting over the thing. Will probably get down into the 50s up here tonight. There’s a little trail out of the campground that goes up to a water fall. Plan to do that. We’re only here four nights. One day we plan to go down to Capital Reef National Monument. Hate to leave here though. It’s so pretty. Mike grilled up some hot dogs and we had baked beans and corn with it. Played rummy later on. Mike won one and I won one.
