We have been off the grid for several days...no power, water or cell service (except occasionally when driving)! We have been exploring Monument Valley, Needles area of Canyonlands National Park and Natural Bridge National Monument. At our last campground, Needles Outpost, when we were checking in, Carol asked if there were any dangers with regards to animals...the owner said, “nay, there is a badger in one of the sites and scorpions but nothing to worry about”!

We are in Jackson Center, OH at the Airstream Factory Service Center, upgrading our battery power to Lithium Batteries. The work was not completed today so we are staying one more day.

Because of Covid, the Airstream Factory tours have been discontinued...oh well.We should be moving on tomorrow or early Wednesday.
