Fruita orchards
The 2,000 trees in the old orchards in Fruita are in pretty good shape, bearing apricots, apples, plums, etc available to the public in season. The campground is set amidst the orchards, horses are in the paddocks. Cool.

Words Get in the Way
Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
