Day 2, after our complimentary breakfast (“Hey, nice buns. Well, thank you.”) we’ll drive thru Bryce Canyon, up to Escalante, thru Capitol Reef Park and then onto Hanksville. Our campsite is about 1 hour south of Hanksville. Aimee told me we should get there about 5 or so. </p> <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:84E294D0-71C9-4bd0-A0FE-95764E0368D9:520a1916-bfd9-4d78-9bc1-faad43b44ad5" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><a href="http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=37.85317~-112.5879&lvl=9&style=r&mkt=en-us&FORM=LLWR" id="map-343c7810-b0d4-466d-af8b-28fb9dea82fb" alt="Click to view this map on Live.com" title="Click to view this map on Live.com"><img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_MxYw7YQKhrc/ShHLT6UZqEI/AAAAAAAAKTs/LJ2Uvv2P8JI/map-140a0259ffc3.jpg?imgmax=800" width="367" height="293" alt="Map picture"></a></div> richardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02325043761208763455noreply@blogger.com0
