This morning we set off south from Flagstaff on the beautiful 27 mile Oak Creek Canyon Drive that leads to Sedona.  It was voted one of the prettiest drives in Arizona and it did not disappoint.  Sometimes you have to adapt and that it what our plan today had to do.  Originally, we were going … Continue reading »

We left Grand Canyon this morning and made the short 2 hour drive to Flagstaff, Arizona down Hwy 64.  We thought we had a reservation at the Flagstaff KOA but someone (who will go unnamed) had forgotten to make it.  Not a problem!  The KOA was full but we found space at Black Barts RV … Continue reading »

We (me, at least) awoke this morning somewhat fatigued by Grand Canyon.  I know that sounds like heresy!  We have learned the lesson the hard way that it is always best to leave a park before you have seen everything you want to see rather than be tired of the park when you leave. If … Continue reading »

We awoke early this morning since our friends had to be on their way by early afternoon back to Southern Arizona and a flight to South Carolina.  We were all worn out from yesterday’s hiking so we decided to take the morning to explore the parks easternmost 23 mile road called Desert View Drive by car. This … Continue reading »

The temperature here at GCNP, at least above the rim, is very nice this month to our surprise.  Daytime highs in the 90’s and dipping down below 50 overnight.  The kids discovered a very nice tree right on the edge of the campsite that was perfect for climbing and within no time they had made … Continue reading »

We woke up this morning, quickly packed and bid farewell to Lake Powell.  We had a fantastic two full days out on the lake!  As we travelled south on Highway 89, we had to make a detour shortly after leaving due to a landslide that occurred last year.  The new road from Page, Arizona, now … Continue reading »

The plan for today was: to wake early at 6am, get out on the lake by 6:30, enjoy the calmer water for 4 hours, take an extended long lunch of several hours back in the cool camper and then enjoy the Wahweap Bay area until we had to return the boat at 5pm.  When the … Continue reading »

Up early this morning and packing the cooler and all of our other gear for a full day out on Lake Powell. We are staying at the Wahweap camping area of Lake Powell which is at the very southern end of this massive lake which has more shoreline than the entire west coast of the … Continue reading »

I started the day early.  I went to the local Enterprise Rent-A-Car and dropped off the Mustang- I would like to say it was hard but I believe I have been cured of wanting anything to do with a small sports style car for the foreseeable future!  The Ford dealership in St. George, Utah had … Continue reading »

We decided today would be a good day to just take it easy for the most part.  We slept in a good bit and then went back into St. George to the Dicks Sporting Goods just to browse around and eat lunch nearby. After getting back to the campground, Thomas, Victoria and I played at … Continue reading »
