See Park Video At the Cannonville Visitors Center the ranger suggested we travel Utah's Scenic Route 12 as today's adventure! The scenes are breathtaking. Around every corner we encounter more stark beauty. And we're having fun bantering with fellow travelers as well...
We'd heard about the Vermillion Cliffs when chatting with neighbors in North Carolina last year. Now we are within sight of them! The are composed of Navajo Sandstone laid down about 180 million years ago when this part of the world was at the bottom of a sea. The...
We've been here! Forty-one years ago on our honeymoon, the two of us camped at the KOA in Amarillo. Even before that Karen's family camped here in December 1965. They were traveling home to St Petersburg FL from a Christmas visit with family in Salt Lake City UT in a...
After our 18K step round trip walk to the coffee shop this morning and showers, the day for the three of us was centered around errands and communications with family members. We needed to locate a particular flapper (the plumbing kind) and a specialty battery for one...

After getting ourselves unpacked and repacked, we joined Bill for coffee at Las Chivas then re-provisioned at the market at The Agora. We bid Bill goodbye then headed north on US-285. We first planned to camp at Navajo Lake State Park, but wanted to log a few more...
It's the beginning of the longest day of the year! It's fun knowing that we'll celebrate it in Santa Fe. This evokes memories of a visit here at winter solstice when to go for a walk we had to bundle up against the cold and snow. Instead of that, today we will be...
