Day 9 - Around Fruita 25 miles
Not moving camp today so time for a hike and going to town for food.
The day started by walking to the old farm house next to the campground and show Ralf what he missed last year. Fresh made cinnamon rolls and pies. I believe they sold over 40,000 rolls last year-
After breakfast we rode over to the visitor center and hiked up Sulfur Creek to a un-named waterfall. Very enjoyable late morning walk in the canyon before it got hot-
I think I passed more water that day than the waterfall did-
Ralf has a child-like curiosity. If there is a stream, cross it. If there is something tall, climb it. Today it was I wonder what will happen if I recline in the afternoon sun, burn it-
With that out of the way we went for another walk over to the old school house on the Fremont River in Fruita. Named Fruita because there are a lot of fruit trees planted in the area. Fresh apricots last year. I found the carved rock behind the school house more interesting-
And finally for our evening entertainment we watched our new neighbors(first time tenting) set up their camp. Really a very nice couple when all was said and done-
