Off on another adventure. This time in the far North and above the Arctic Circle trekking along the border between Norway and Sweden. Nordlandsruta (Nordland Trekking Trail) is the longest hiking trail in Norway with a distance of 650 kms.…
Spent 12 wet days walking the Saga Route in Norway with two dear friends. Last year I completed the MassIV Route as a solo walker, and so nice to return to this amazing part of the world and sharing it…
Our 2024 spring road tour is coming to an end. We returned to Sedona for a quick trip before dropping Molly off at a storage facility in Phoenix.
We returned to Flagstaff to attend Overland Expo West. A great chance to meet other like-minded people, attend education sessions and see cool new things. Tim, Em and Bec were also there. We even got to see catch-up with friends…
Below Vermilion Cliffs National Monument is Mable Canyon. A little stretch of BLM land with amazing views over the Colorado River. It was busy along the cliff edge, but we found a place to camp for the night at the…
From Mexican Hat to Page is Navajo Nation Reservation land, There is no wild camping on the reservation. We visited Monument Valley, but apparently our vehicle was not allowed in the park. Not even for camping. And we were not…
We returned to Muley Point for our rendezvous with Tim. He would be joining us for the next 2 weeks and including Overland Expo West. The original plan was to spend time on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon,…
This National Monument is a little gem. River water undercuts the rock forming a natural bridge. Stephen went for a hike along the river bed and visited Kachina, Owachomo, and Sipapu (the largest), which are all Hopi names. Caroline visited…
It was time to head back to see Alison and Gary and get our damaged windscreen repaired. We also continued to debug the 12 volt power supply for the Starlink, and almost established that it was an issue with the…
We almost just happened upon this National Monument, as we hadn’t really looked up places to visit in the area other than Valley of the Gods and Monument Valley. We were heading back to Montrose, CO, via Ridgway, to repair…
We spent three nights with Gary and Monica enjoying the Canyons around Moki Dugway. The first night we were at Muley Point, high up on the cliff edge with an expansive vista. Definitively one of the more impressive camping spots…
Gary and Monica were headed to Butler Wash, which was only a couple of hours away. After picking up supplies in Moab, we headed in their direction. Em and Bec were with them. We ended up staying two nights in…
The last time we visited Arches National Park was 20 years ago. It was so nice to return. Now there is a timed entry permit system, presumably because the park is so popular. We snapped up our permit on-line the…
The plan was for a short day. We left the Gunnison River and headed to Grand Mesa to find a spot to camp for the night. The higher elevation and lingering winter snow made this an impossible option. But we…
After a wonderful day and two nights with Gary and Alison, it was time to move again. Just over an hour north of where they live is Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. This is a super nice little…
