16 July 2024 Trip day 107
As we get ready to head out from Bryce Canyon, the kids help me check the torque on the lug nuts. A few years back, we had an incident with broken lug nuts when moving the trailer. Ever since then, I’ve made it part of my habit pattern to check them each time before we move the trailer.
While I proceeded to the next campground, Meagan and the kids went to the Escalante Petrified Forest State Park.

They earned their Junior Ranger badges at the Interagency Visitor Center. Then it was off to the ‘Hole in the Rock.’
Hole in the Rock is the place where Mormon pioneers carved a passage through rock to a very steep descent.

Meanwhile, I arrived at our campsite outside of Capitol Reef National Park and set up. The views were not disappointing.
It was a little interesting getting situated, but I managed to get tucked in. The site was a bit narrower than I would have liked, but it was a quiet campground and the kids were happy to have lots of gravel to dig and play in. They are big on making roads and other vast construction projects at our sites!
