My location photo was taken on the wall of the gift shop of the Kolb Studio on the South Rim. It is the statement for our entire trip. We hiked the Rim Trail to Maricopa Point, which was a 2.8 mile round trip. Then we drove the Hermit Trail Road & stopped @ all the points of interest. Usually you have to ride a park bus to get to these overlooks. The winter is really a good time to go to these popular parks because they are not crowded & you can drive ...

It's hard to write this & watch the game! (not any more) The location photo was taken just a few steps outside our cabin next to the Bright Angel Trail that's the trail you take to go to the bottom of the canyon. We saw a lot of beautiful scenery today. We went to Zion Natl. Park, UT, & drove the Zion Scenic Trail which is only open to cars in the winter. Traveling into AZ, we drove through the Vermillion Cliffs (which are vermillion) & drove over L...

Well, it's Friday the 13th & I'm sitting here washing clothes in St. George, UT @ the motel. Robert suggested that we just recycle our underwear, but I didn't think that was a good idea. We saw a lot of pretty country today in Nevada...mostly BLM land. The location photo is the Kolob Canyon in the northern part of Zion Natl. Park. We visited this gorgeous park about 5 years ago. Tomorrow we will drive past the southern edge of Zion & go to the South R...

What an interesting day! Robert had wanted to make it to Elko, NV, today & we did, just barely. It took us 10 hours to drive 389 miles! We took the High Desert Discovery Scenic Byway Route through the Diamond Craters & Steen Mts. When we stopped @ Jenkins Museum, Store, & Visitors Center, Robert made a new friend...Richard Jenkins. He is a 5th generation rancher & was just full of all kinds of info about ranching in the area. Robert had a great ...

It was really hard to choose my location photo for today's entry. We've seen rugged coastline, sandy beaches, lush ferns & moss covered rocks & trees, rushing mountain streams, & snow capped mountains. We're driving through OR's high dessert now but it's dark & I can't see anything. We can't stop until we get to Burns, OR. Robert is bound & determined to get to Elko, NV by tomorrow. We said goodby to the Pacific West Coast this morning &...
