Blog 10-22-17 The Grand Canyon We worked hard at staying warm this morning with the electric and the propane heaters running, the temperature was 27 degrees outside and 50 inside. There was no anticipating this cold snap, it had been 78 in Flagstaff yesterday, who would think we would have such a change in the weather. There were too many artificial lights to see any meteors besides I couldn't stay out long anyway. The sun did warm the air up quickly and by 9 am it was 50 degrees. Watson was bright eyed this morning and wanted to go for his walk but it had to be a slow, short walk because he needs to rest his leg. He did limp on it this morning and the pain pills make him sleepy so he can get ... read more

Blog 10-20-17 Antelope Canyon The alarm went off at 6:15am and I was excited to get up. Today Ginnie and I had reservations to tour Antelope Canyon with a group tour and I was really looking forward to going back. I had been there a few years ago and had a super experience so my anticipation was high. We had the dogs fed and walked by 8:40 and left just a few minutes later. The meeting place was only 5 min away and we were there in no time as was a bus load of people from New Zealand. They are a singing group and landed in Las Vegas several days ago and are spending 10 days seeing the sights. Don't know how they landed on this tour but they are getting to see something really ... read more

Blog 10-18-17 Hurricane, UT to Page, AZ We hated to leave our neighborhood campground but it was time to move on. There was a tree company blocking off one of the streets in the campground to take down a tree that had died in the Santa Anna winds on Oct 8th. The same winds we drove through and the same winds that created havic in Santa Rosa, CA, burning it to the ground. The tree was not that big but they were making a project of it so we drove to another road to leave the campground. I forgot to take pictures of our campground so we'll just have ot remember how nice it was. We'll write a great review on the internet for them. We took a right turn onto Rt 59 out of town ... read more

blog 10-15-16 Boulder City, NV to Hurricane, UT Today was another beautiful day in Boulder City with the sun rising and lighting our mountain to a brilliant red. The road was calling and with the chores done we took the dogs on one last walk around the campground. Our nieghbor moved his truck so we could easily pull out of our space, he was actually on our site, making the swing easy especially since we had already hooked up the car. It was only 9:15, boy are we getting good. The challenge was to get around Las Vegas without going into the city or being confused on the roads. It turned out to be a piece of cake and we even found a Pilot/Flying J gas station where Ginnie gets a 5 cent a gallon discount, ... read more

Blog 10-14-17 Red Rock Canyon It was supposed to be a lazy morning with all of us sleeping in but somebody forgot to tell the rest of the world. It started with the dogs waking up before 7 wanting to go out. Then Watson wouldn't go back to bed and I was awake for the day. I went outside to make a phone call not to disturb Ginnie and Watson heard me talking so he started barking. I got him outside with me then Ginnie got a phone call, we were not to have a late sleep. We moved around slowly, had coffee outside for the first time on our trip. It has been too cold in the morning or too hot or something but it never happened. There was a brisk breeze but it was ... read more
