Tuesday, May 14, 2024 This morning, it was time to move on. After breaking camp, we separately drove the RV and car back into Bryce City near the park’s entrance. At a large Sinclair Dinocare facility that catered to RVs, I filled the fuel tank with diesel, added DEF, and […]

Saturday, May 11, 2024 This morning, we broke camp, topped off the RV’s fuel tank at a nearby station, and were rolling north on I-15 before 11 am. We gained elevation on the interstate before turning southeast onto UT-20 and then US-89. Although we had been eyeing the dark black

Friday, May 10, 2024 This morning, we slept late and relaxed. Jane drove a loadful of laundry down to the campground laudromat. She stayed through the wash cycle to take advantage of the slightly faster internet. At best, both our cellular and wi-fi connections are spotty at our camp site

Thursday, May 9, 2024 This morning, we drove the hour-long trip to arrive at the Zion National Park entrance around 9:30 am (although it felt earlier due to the time zone change). The Visitor Center parking area was full so after fruitlessly driving around it for awhile, we exited the

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 We started this travel day departing Vegas about 11:00 am for Hurricane, UT. Although we both are glad to have visited Las Vegas, it felt good departing the city and to once again be on open road with natural experiences ahead of us.  Our 150-mile route

Tuesday, May 7, 2024 Today, we Ubered from the campground to Area 15 in downtown Las Vegas. Area 15 is an immersive entertainment district that Jane had developed a strong curiosity about, and an urge to visit it. After being dropped off, we entered a large gray non-descript building. Inside,

Monday, May 6, 2024 This morning, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast featuring seafood boil leftovers, then departed to visit Hoover Dam, about 30 miles south, mostly traveling along I-11. Shortly before arriving, we pulled into an overlook with a nice veiw of Lake Mead. Lake Mead from I-11 Overlook We

Sunday, May 5, 2024 While preparing to depart this morning, Jane spotted a snake in the adjacent campsite that attracted the attention of fellow campers.

Saturday, May 4, 2024 We awoke this morning at 5:00 am to the alarm on Jane’s iPhone. We tumbled out of bed in the dark and quickly put on the clothes we had laid out last night. Too soon, we were walking in the first morning light through ponderosa pines,

Friday, May 3, 2024 This morning before heading back to the Canyon, we visited a local attraction we have been hearing a lot about. Bearizona is a wildlife park featuring rescued animals and has two viewing areas, one drive-thru, and one walk-thru.  After purchasing tickets and entering the park, we

Thursday, May 2, 2024 Today, Jane drove the toad back to Grand Canyon National Park. After an hour-long drive, mostly on State Route 64, we arrived at the southern park entrance around 9:30 am. There was a line of vehicles waiting to enter. Three of the five gates were operating

Wednesday, May 1, 2024 Today was our big day. We finally made it to the Grand Canyon! Around 8:30 this morning, we departed the campground for Williams. After parking, we walked to the train depot and wandered around until we found the spot where a western reenactment was taking place

Tuesday, April 30, 2024 Due to a short drive today, we spent another relaxing morning. While breaking camp, we spoke with a couple from Michigan at a nearby site who have a 2021 version of our motorhome (Winnebago View 24D). We enjoyed walking around and inside each other’s RVs and
