We pronounce it “Kitty Quay”. That’s the way the sign says to pronounce it. Nice morning walk around the acceptable campground and out onto Route 66. It was a balmy -1C when I started but no real wind. At home, -2C and above is shorts weather until the mosquitos come out. While I was on…
Before we talk about last night, let us cover off a significant omission from the day 31 post. When we were at the 4 corners and I was wandering on the outskirts of the main attraction, I glanced into a hole and saw this little snake catching some rays. I tried to show Mrs Milddogs…
Our neighbour last night from from the rental armada. Mrs Milddogs pointed out the picture of the mesa from Monument Valley on the side of the motorhome. We found it funny. It was a good night sleep despite the wind. Yup, we’ve got big wind again. Slow drag out of bed as we weren’t in…
I forgot to mention. We are now in Mountain Time. We lost an hour as we entered the Navajo Nation. You see Arizona does not do DST. So even though they are MST, they do not switch to MDT. The Navaho Nation which spans several states does use DST for consistency. It was a good…
Yes. A new state. Welcome to Utah! After a lovely visit from our elk friend last night, what could today bring us? Such opportunities to see the canyon at sunrise. Such opportunity to sleep right through sunrise and then be greeted by a semi-cloudy morning. Happily, Sunnyvale was pretty quiet. The trailer next to us…
FOUR WEEKS. FOUR WHOLE WEEKS OF TRAVELLING AROUND SEEING SIGHTS IN OUR LITTLE VAN!!!!! Our sleepy time at the government land was wonderful, but a wee bit on the cold side. Amy was in full cuddle mode. We had the furnace set for 13C and it first fired up around 0200. I don’t know what…
What a lovely state park Dead Horse Ranch turned out to be. We were a little tired when we got there yesterday so we did not explore much. But this morning I looked up a trail on All Trails and set out for a nice walk. Well, well, well. It was really different from anything…
Oil change dilemma solved! Turns out I did not reset the reminder at last oil change. I still have up to 7000 km left on this change and that is plenty to get home! Whew. Means I don’t have to deal with any of my trust issues or the delays of things getting done more…
Technicality: Not in Sedona, AZ. Southwest of Sedona on some BLM land. It’s moving day. Morning walk was a sedate 2km out down one of the “roads” on the BLM land we stayed on and then mostly the same path back. We packed up after breakfast and set out to the Quartzsite Refuse Transfer Site….
We had some rain last night. The van was ready to go in case it got heavy as we are parked in a “wash”. A wash is effectively a dry creek. We didn’t want to be like Alexander Supertramp (I think he was still Chris McCandless then) when he lost his car. The rain was…
