By about 5:15 V+K were past the tiny village of Hanksville, headed west on UT-24, and within in the boundaries of Capitol Reef National Park.

ALL the parks made a point of providing free water and stressing the need to stay hydrated. Ken supposes doing so was vastly cheaper than needing to rescue hikers that collapsed from dehydration.
