In Hanksville we headed west back toward Capitol Reef and Torrey, the way we’d come nearly a week before. We were diligent and made good time until we got to Capitol Reef. We slowed down behind some newbies who were driving slowly as they took in the scenic drive into the park. Who can blame them?

We were quite hungry by the time we reached Torrey so we stopped at Austin’s again. Sharon had a pair of tacos and Peter a burrito to hold us over until dinner at the Hells Backbone Grill. 75¢ gets you a great side of guacamole.

We headed over Boulder Mountain and were glad for the daylight. Several deer and lots of cattle were spotted near the road along the way so we kept the speed down. This isn’t someplace to be driving at night.
