We are sitting overlooking Lake Powell and Page, AZ as this is the only place we both have enough cell service to update the website! 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.

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…

We were very impressed with this Airstream dealer, all issues were done in one day as promised! Tuesday we had an appointment with Dave Wilson Toyota to have 20K service done on the Tundra; again a…

We spent 2 days exploring Zion National Park. We started at the East Entrance and worked our way to the West Entrance near the Visitor Center. The drive from the East is a thriller, winding roads, a plethora of colors and a mile long tunnel! Carol had read that there are Big Horn Sheep, but they were very shy and rarely seen, well that created a major challenge to find them. We stopped at every pull off to use binoculars to find the sheep (Carol looked through the binoculars so long she had motion sickness)! After searching for a several…
