5/25/2026 Fruita Campground in Capitol Reef National Park was beautiful. Mormon families settled this fertile valley where they grew cherries, peaches, plums, pears, apricots. apples and almond trees. The name Capitol Reef came from 2 things. One, a rock formation that looks like the Capitol dome in DC. The Reef name came from a nearby water fold.
A couple stopped by to pet Sammy and he was really wound up. The lady told us the secret to stopping his barking was to play Ave Maria and he would sing. She got out her phone, put on Ave Maria and he howled a couple of notes and then returned to barking. Oh, well! A friend on Facebook mentioned that maybe he wasn't Catholic.
