Thursday, 19 June, 2014 We recrossed the bridge by the Glen Canyon Dam and said goodbye to Lake Powell. We drove north on Hwy 89 through Kanab, Glendale and Hatch through such beautiful and varied landscapes. That's what I love about Utah, the vistas are ever-changing and always special. At Hwy 12 we turned east to the Dixie National Forest and the Red Canyon campground where we set up camp. After a quick lunch we headed to Bryce Canyon National Park. We drove the park road and stopped at most of the overlooks. Sean enjoyed the one called Fairyland best because he and Papa got to take a trail out onto the rocks. Friday, 20 June We drove north on scenic Hwy 89 through beautiful green valleys with the Sevier River meandering along beside us. As ... read more

Geo: 38.5733, -109.549We just finished 4 amazing days and nights rafting about 95 miles of the Colorado River through Cataract Canyon. We slept each night on cots under the stars.....incredible.

Moab We arrive at the Moab Valley RV Resort at about mid-day. It’s a great site & the facilities are amazing. They cater for RVs, Cabins & Tents. There’s good Wi-Fi, a swimming pool (with many folk in swimwear having a great time), a hot tub & location – surrounded by red rock cliffs & snow covered mountains. Many families come here for a day or 2. Its 3 miles from Moab centre. We soon decide to stay an extra 2 nights to base ourselves here while we enjoy Arches NP, Canyonlands NP and Dead Horse Point State park – all in Utah. We do some shopping for camping gear, RV gear and a dress for Cags (who’s fed up of wearing trousers all the time) followed by a trip to the local store with Fresh ... read more

Avant de poursuivre notre récit nous voudrions rectifier une chose très importante qui nous est apparue soudainement : désormais nous parlerons de notre « blogue » écrit de cette façon en bon français!! Merci Louise R.Q. qui nous a écrit simplement en l’écrivant correctement, sans mention spécifique! Vous nous en voyez sincèrement désolés et le terme corrigé à l’avenir. Merci encore pour les commentaires reçus, c’est toujours très apprécié même si nous ne pouvons vous répondre chaque fois! Continuez! Vendredi 13 septembre 2013 La pluie a enfin cessé, il fait froid et humide. Heureusement nous pouvons chasser l’humidité avec le chauffage au propane. Le voisin est dehors et nous parle de la température d’hier. À la radio on parle d’inondations et de quelques morts à l’est des Rocky’s Mountains près d’Estes Park où nous étions la ... read more
