Category Molly Roadtrips
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.
Aliens in Roswell

Carlsbad Caverns
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…

Red Canyon
Between Great Basin National Park and Capitol Reef National is the Red Canyon.in Dixie National Forest. It was a good spot to stop for the night. We headed up a dirt side road to find a secluded wild camping spot.…
Okanagan Valley
