These are some of the longer and more adventurous journeys that we have made in Molly. We also take Molly on shorter trips, and these are categorized in a different section of our blog.
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…
10 days and 1,000 miles ago Molly started to complain. While traveling through Big Bend National Park, we got a red engine light that was accompanied by a loud and very piecing audible alarm. All very frightening. We immediately pulled…
Just outside of Santa Fe is Los Alamos, one of the sites which was home to the secret war-time project to develop the atomic bomb. We planned to rendezvous with some friends at the visitor center. We toured the little…
We spent 2 days in Santa Fe. Many of our friends suggested we come here, and many of our friends were right. We treated ourselves to 2 night at the ‘Inn and Spa at Loretto” in Santa Fe’s historic downtown.…
We stopped in Roswell, New Mexico, to see the Aliens. The town has really embraced the whole Alien thing. The visit to the Alien/Area 51 museum was well worth it. We believe.
We tried to visit Carlsbad Caverns on the way to Texas for the Solar eclipse, but we were unable to get entry tickets. Probably all the other Solar Eclipse seekers had the same idea. Anyway, lot’s of tickets were now…
Guadalupe Peak is the highest peak in Texas. It is also a National Park. And it is on the way to Colorado. We got up early and slipped away from our camping spot around 6:30am for the drive back to…
Near Fort Davis is McDonald Observatory. There is quite some history at this site, as it dates back to 1939. We took a tour of the site and enjoyed walking around. Molly again started to act up, so the visit…
With the Solar Eclipse over, it was time to head off. We said goodbye to everyone and headed to Big Bend National Park. This park is on the very southern border of the Texas, the United States and the northern…
It took us several weeks, but we finally made it to Comfort Texas. Here we rendezvoused with friends and other earthcruiser owners. The weather forecast was not good, but we decided to stay put instead of chasing better weather. And…
A few hours outside of Albuquerque is Very Large Array or VLA. Stephen has been wanting to go this engineering marvel for decades, and finally got the chance. Caroline visited the VLA back in 2005 with Deirdre, and was special…
