I really wanted to spend some time in the Santa Fe area. I had picked out some fun things to do (I thought, anyway). But after not feeling good yesterday, Kenny was getting kind of antsy to get moving along. He would rather spend time in Tennessee. So – I changed plans, and decided to put about 400 miles on today and go past Santa Fe, past Albuquerque, and stay farter east in Santa Rosa NM tonight. It’s an old Route 66 town in New Mexico. That should give him a smile. So, good-bye Colorado, hello Read more
2017 WA-FL: Fall Road Trip South
Livin on the Edge
From Moab we traveled to the southwest corner Colorado. They welcomed us, with a brown sign that said they’re colorful. 😉 Well, I guess marijuana is legal here.
Our next adventure would take us someplace new for us Read more
Offroad in Moab
We said goodbye to Bryce Canyon, and headed for our next favorite destination, Moab and Arches National Park. There were a few different routes that we could take to get there, but we chose Scenic Highway 12. We drove this last year and really enjoyed it. Check out the winding road… from the right, around, across, and curving off into the distance.
This picture just doesn’t show the drop off on BOTH sides of the road very well, but this is Read more
Whodat in da Hoodoos?
After our short adventure at the Great Basin National Park, we made our way to Bryce Canyon. We arrived there in time to see the sunset. We would stay here 2 nights and were glad to have some extra time this year to explore the lodge and surrounding. After our hike tomorrow, we planned have time to drive the 18 miles scenic drive with lots of overlooks of the canyon, and check out the visitors center, etc. 🙂
The canyon is a spectacular sight! Such Read more
Loaded up and Headed South
Our time in Washington had come to an end. We loaded up the poor little Sonata to the gills and left Shannon & Cam’s house in Spokane Valley. Unfortunately, we had to head backwards over 300 miles to Western Washington for a rescheduled appointment rather than just heading south. After our extended stay in St. Lucia due to hurricane Maria, our plans for our drive home were all discomboobilated. We had appointments that had to be rescheduled, and hotel reservations that had to be cancelled. We had planned to drive south to California and spend some time at Yosemite National Park. Then to Death Valley National Park, over to Las Vegas, then to Bryce Canyon, Moab, and Mesa Verde. Early Fall is high season for Moab, and we didn’t want to lose our reservations there, so we just cut out the first week of our trip, and drove fast to get back on schedule. Read more
