We got up from our hotel and were on the road at 6am. The goal was for Corvin and I to unicycle California before it got super hot outside. We got to the head of Mustard Canyon and started riding at 8am. We didn’t get very far before the gravel road was too rough to … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/7/2019”
Slow start today. We got up and went grocery shopping. Then we headed straight for the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Okay, we made a pit stop at Horseshoe Bend. Its a total tourist trap. Sweet views, but too many people. It might have been more impressive if we hadn’t seen Goosenecks the day … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/5/2019”
Danelle got up early and went for an early morning walk with Corvin to get photos of the sunrise. When she got back, I went for a short walk with Danelle. Then we went to the included breakfast. This is a small motel and about the only place in town. It felt like every person … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/4/2019”
This day started off with a morning swim in the pool and some sauna time. We came back up to the room to change before breakfast when we got a surprise. The fire alarm went off. This one was turned up to 11, so there was no reprise from the noise anywhere in the hotel. … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/3/2019”
Today was looking up. We partly cloudy skies and a full parking lot of people escaping the rain the night before. It wasn’t much of a drive before we made it to the New Mexico border. It almost seems like they were worried you might miss the state border… With the border out of the … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/2/2019”
Our first full day of vacation started with Corvin, Danelle, and I getting up early. Sonora slept in as we crept down for a preview of the hotel’s included breakfast before heading to a bike path in downtown Tulsa. This was Corvin’s and my first state to record in our 48 wheels trip to unicycle … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/1/2019”
Danelle and I registered for the South Dakota Kayak Challenge for the third time (First and Second SDKC). For this trip, we decided a team would be a good choice and picked Melissa and Megan to be on our team. Melissa and Megan were new to racing, but we thought they would keep the fun … Continue reading “South Dakota Kayak Challenge – 5/24/2019”
If there is one thing houses need, its constant maintenance. Today’s edition features our front porch steps. About 5 years earlier, we had re-finished the porch steps. They were more than due again. This time, it was more than just paint that we needed. Several steps became rotten and needed to be replaced. I’m far … Continue reading “Front Steps – 5/17/2019”
Before you get too excited, I know Sonora’s birthday isn’t for 5 more days. However, she wanted to have a party with her friends and this was the day that worked out. Several of them came over. We got them to mostly play outside and try different things. Here are a few photos of them. … Continue reading “Sonora’s Birthday – 5/10/2019”
For our latest unicycle trip, we flew to Spokane, WA and rented a Nissan Armada to drive back to St. Louis, MO. Based on the Nissan website, the Armada I drove back is priced around $55,000. All of the ratings for the vehicle are fairly good. Personally, I hated the SUV and I’ll list the … Continue reading “Five Days in an Armada”
