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. We later identified it as a nonvenemous Pacific gopher snake. Pacific Gopher Snake We departed mid-morning and joined our westward companion, I-40. The scenery along
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
Monday, April 29, 2024 This morning we lazed around the RV for awhile. I blogged and dealt with our insurance claim while Jane (hopefully) permanently fixed the sliding bathroom door by gluing the overhead track screws into place. They had been repeatedly falling out while driving making the door difficult
Sunday April 28, 2024 We enjoyed a leisurely Sunday morning in our rmotorhome because we didn’t need to depart until 11 am (official check-out time) so that we did not arrive early at out next campground. We had a huge brunch of scrambled eggs with cheese and fajita leftovers, grits,
Saturday, April 27, 2024 Today, we returned to Petrified Forest National Park. On the way out of Holbrook, we stopped at an interesting shop, Jim Gray’s Petrified Wood Co. The store’s surrounding grounds were covered with large logs and chunks of petrified wood. We were amazed at the wares for
April 26, 2024 Today, we left our ABQ campsite around 10 am for the 260-mile drive to our next campground in Holbrook, AZ. At the start, we had beautiful blue skies with large cottony clouds casting shadows on the beautiful New Mexico landscape with its colorful stratified mesas. We saw
