Last minute getaway with D to Richfield yesterday evening and then on to Capitol Reef today.  It was good to have dinner with my parents and I do love Capitol Reef.  We hiked Pleasant Creek.  This is one of those hikes where if I tell you it's cool you're going to be disappointed, but if you go in with no expectations, you'll be pleasantly surprised.  Pleasant Creek was more than pleasant.  Good hike with yellows and CR rocks - white and red - so pretty.  CR was awesome in the fall.  D found us a little slot canyon which was fun.  It was long enough to make it cool even though it wasn't super tall.  Also cool was the log jammed in the slot.  Also cool were the cascades.  Watching the yellow leaves float down the river - sigh.  I had me a Subway sandwich at the beautiful cascades and I ate it faster than Kenzie ate her Jimmy John's at Desolation Lake.  Also super cool was how many people we saw on this hike.  A big fat zero.

We stopped in Nephi on the way home for some Chinese dinner.  Oriental Garden was way yummy.  Don't judge your broccoli beef by the bathroom because one was delicious and the other was disgusting.
