We started today by checking out of our motel in Monticello. I was more than happy to get out of there because the motel’s wifi connection was truly abysmal, and being without internet access makes me cranky. We moved to Moab for…
Canyons deep and arches high
It’s been a long, productive day, folks! I am writing this entry at 12:22 AM, so it’s going to be very short. A girl needs her beauty rest. 🙂
Pueblos for a day
Today’s exciting adventure took us back to Colorado. Mesa Verde National Park is home to thousands of ancient Pueblo archaeological sites, including 600 cliff dwellings.
Hiking the Needles
Here we are at Day 26! The trip odometer passed 7,000 miles this morning on our way to Canyonlands National Park in Utah. It’s hard to believe that we have been on the road for almost a full month. Time is…
Black Canyon of the Gunnison is scary

Ladies in Red
We’ve made it to Day 22 of our journey without being eaten by a bear, falling off a cliff, drowning in a lake, freezing to death, or succumbing to altitude sickness! Yay?
The Rockies are large and in charge
We are alive! Some of you may be wondering if we succumbed to the altitude here in Rocky Mountain National Park. At a base elevation of 8,000+ feet, that wouldn’t too unrealistic.
We’re in Boulder, Colorado
Just a short update tonight because it’s late and we’re pretty tired after a full day of driving (almost 600 miles!). We’re just outside of Boulder, CO, in a $58/night room booked through Hotwire. While here, we plan to see Rocky Mountain National Park…
