We left Lake Powell and headed to Homolovi State Park east of Flagstaff. Homolovi is located just outside of Winslow AZ. Now most of you reading this (excluding a couple of Millenials 🤣) know the significance of Winslow AZ from your youth! (Reply below if you know the answer!) The park was interesting but also had great RV sites! The park is home of 2 Hopi Native American Ruins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homolovi_State_ParkThe town of Winslow is a bit dismal, it used to be a stop along Route 66 and vibrant, but today the best thing in town is the Flying J truck…

Milestone: 2 Months on the Road! While in Lake Powell we stayed at Wahweap Campground and this was one of our favorites. The sites are spread apart and staggered so the views were of the lake and buttes. We were able to get a tour of lower Antelope Canyon via kayak. (In 2016 we toured upper Antelope Canyon, we will include a couple pictures from that trip in the gallery, it is amazing). Most people know Antelope canyon from the iconic pictures of a multicolor slot canyon that is a hiking adventure. Those parts of Antelope are on Navajo land…

We have been at Wahweap Campground on Lake Powell since Monday.We have continued to enjoy 4WD dirt roads of Paria Canyon where the colors were amazing and the Vermillion Cliffs area. We also did a day trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Lees Ferry; both very nostalgic from when we hiked rim-to-rim in 2016 and when we rafted the Colorado 267+ miles through the Grand Canyon in 2014. While there we…

On Friday we drove a 40 mile dirt road near Kanab, UT and came across a California Condor viewpoint. While there we met a guy that works for the Peregrine Fund, saving the California Condors. While there we did see them on the cliffs, but they were really far away. Our new friend said that we needed to go to the Navajo Bridge in the morning to see them up close. So, today we drove early to the Navajo Bridge...holy cow...the condors were everywhere! The California Condor is one of the rarest birds in the world. It is the largest flying…
