Hello Canada! Good night sleep last night. It rained a bit. We did move my shoes off of the furnace outlets so we could breathe some decent air. Campground is near an airport and train tracks. Neither cost us sleep. We were on a mission this morning. Despite the time change we set an alarm…

Before bedtime the Camp Host came by and confirmed our move. A little later I went out and swapped the signs cause he put the vacant sign on our new site and the occupied one on our old site. Pretty good sleep. It rained a fair amount and there was some thunder activity not too…

Not a bad night in Tulsa at the old Cracker Barrel. A bit of extra noise as we parked too close to the 24 hour McDonalds and iHOP. Morning walk was around the residential neighbourhood near the Cracker Barrel. I passed a huge Harley Davidson dealer and an even bigger? Boot Barn. Too bad both…

Yup, still “Kitty Quay”. Short post today as it was mostly driving. Morning walk was relaxed. It was a good temp at 13C but very strong winds made the path home more work than it should have been. I did the Canyon Rim trail which is pretty flat. The highlight was seeing these buddies from…

It’s still pronounced “Kitty Quay”. Today we stayed put, relatively. I failed to post a picture of yesterday’s awesome campsite. I started the day by sleeping in a lot. Well, the time change helps a bit. None of my normal wakeful period between 0300 and 0500. Today it was straight through until 0615 when I…

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…

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…
