From Hanksville to Blanding is absolutely gorgeous, but I don't think we saw 6 cars in that whole drive. It is 142 miles WITHOUT GAS STOPS to Blanding.

We just parked on the runway while we ate a snack and enjoyed the view --- I figured if planes wanted to land they would fly over and blow the horn. :)
