Day 36: Porc effiloché et poitrine: Tulsa, OK to Robertsville, MO

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…

Day 34: Even the statues: Caprock Canyon State Park, Quitaque, TX

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…

Day 33: Dust Devils, Prairie Dogs and Bison: Santa Rosa, NM to Quitaque, TX

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…

Day 31: A tale of two Angels: Monument Valley, UT to Bloomfield, NM

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…

Day 29:  Pretty, oh so pretty: Grand Canyon, AZ to Monument Valley, UT

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…
