On our last few days in Vegas, all I kept hearing was about the temperature in Phoenix, “its been 120degrees in Phoenix….” Etc etc, upon hearing this and then converting this into Celsius I nearly cried, nearly 50degrees! So off we headed to Phoenix, a little cautious about the weather, and let me tell you, it is HOT! Although only in the high 30’s, thank god, I don’t think I could stand it any hotter. We’re staying in a small little motel about 20minutes from downtown Phoenix so all exploring has been done just around this area but I cant complain. [View Full Entry]

Recovery Day I planned on spending the night camped on Second Mesa, but with the weather (thunderstorms and loud noise), KC said “NO”. The closest location with lodging was Winslow, AZ. On the way here we went through the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert National Park. It is a small rather insignificant park, but it does protect the petrified wood. It was mid-day when we got here with the sun high in the sky and the light flat for photography. However there were enough clouds to create contrasting images and the petrified wood is ideal for abstracts. So the day was spe [View Full Entry]

Whoa. Since my last entry, we have driven all around the state of Colorado, visited Utah, and hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back. We originally planned all these great places to see...Yellowstone, Yosemite, etc, but between concert tickets I bought for a show in Colorado and a last minute opening for the hike down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, the time restraints eliminated a lot of options. However, it did create the chance to see a lot more of Colorado than originally planned. I'd like to start by saying how much I appreciate: A. Hiking [View Full Entry]

Sonntag Morgen machen wir uns nach einem mittelgroßen Suchdrama (der zweite Zimmerschlüssel ist weg, im Motel 6 nahm man es aber Gottseidank gelassen) auf den Weg zum Grand Canyon. Insgesamt etwa 70 ziemlich langweilige Meilen...und dann sind wir da. Und? Hm. Der erste Eindruck war einstimmig "ganz schön" aber das ganz große WOW bleibt zunächst aus. Da ein Gewitter angesagt ist suchen wir erstmal den Campingplatz auf und bauen unser Zelt auf. Vor dem Regen flüchten wir dann erstamal in den General Store und kaufen fürs Abendessen leckere nach Gummi riechende und schmeckende Tortillas ein. [View Full Entry]

Not a lot to report today. I woke up, had a snack two cups of coffee a shower and got on the bike.... I stopped in New Mexico to visit a friend and then wound up in Tucson as night fell... I was in the groove and could have ridden longer. As it was I logged 775 miles today. I am glad I stopped. I explored Tucson as I lived here in ...1976... the apt is now a parking garage and no body lI know lives in the houses I knocked at. Bill had some adventures today.. it seems that today [View Full Entry]

Aside from Belize with its strong Caribbean influence not a whole lot changes travelling from one Central American country to another. The attractive public spaces and town squares I couldn't stop photographing when we first got to San Cristobal in Mexico with their pastel coloured colonial churches and buildings are to be found somewhere in every Central American country. As you cross borders the jungle scenery and what lives in their doesn't change much from one country to the next. Basically Cental America is hot, and green. You could say the same about South East Asia, but in South East As [View Full Entry]

Hi All! We have been home for a week now. We spent the last week of our trip in Santa Fe, New Mexcio, arriving in Northern Arizona on Sept. 2nd. We stayed in Flagstaff for 2 days so we could buy supplies to go camping over the Labor Day weekend with our friends and family at Hutch Mountain. To be honest, I was not all that impressed with Santa Fe. The weather was nice, and down town was nice to walk around and see shops, and the southwestern architecture, but New Mexico as a whole is pretty barren. I guess coming [View Full Entry]

So, am ersten Tag in Page starten mit einem eher bescheidenen Frühstück, dass es zudem nur bis um 09;00 Uhr gibt. Nun ja, da wir da eh schon wach sind können wir auch gleich starten. Es geht 18 Milen von Page entfernt auf einer kleinen Schotterstraße bis zu einem Parkplatz, unser Ziel das Valley of the White Ghosts... Wir finden auch recht schnell ein Schild, dass unseren Trailbegin besagt. Ok, soweit so gut. Im Internet gab es Wegbeschreibungen, die die ganze Sache als etwas versteckt und schwierig zu finden darstellt. Naja wir haben ja das Schild und eine aus dem Internet [View Full Entry]
