Another Thanksgiving spent outdoors. This time in Capitol Reef National Park.

Since 2000, I’ve spent 10 of the past 15 Thanksgiving weekends outdoors.

A four-day weekend is a gift esp in a society that demands more and more of our free time in exchange for a paycheck.

With a gift of time, I’d rather make use of it where I can go when given a chance: the outdoors. Though I like my current job, there is a reason why it is called work. 🙂

For my someone and I, there would be no Black Friday shop-a-thons or checking out the stores opened on Thanksgiving evening. Instead, we’d enjoy the smell of sage, the glow of the desert sunset and the arid beauty of the Capitol Reef and nearby areas.

We chose Capitol Reef as the Moab area tends to be busier with fellow Coloradoans on long weekends.
