The last day of our vacation. We woke up early in KC and spent some time before heading home to St. Louis. But not before having fun at the house. Of interest to me, we passed 222,222 miles on the odometer during this trip. And when we pulled into the driveway, we ended with 4,758.6 … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/14/2019”
We woke up from a night of camping and enjoyed the sounds of the campground. We didn’t expect ducks, but they were fun to watch. They had lots of stuff laying around that we saw on a morning walk. With the campsite packed up, we headed on to the Great Sand Dunes National Park. We … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/12/2019”
We got up later this morning that we have most of the trip. In fact we were late enough that we were nearly late to our whitewater trip. The river was up and running fast. This meant that we got to go a little farther than normal. 14 miles of great whitewater paddling! I would … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/11/2019”
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”
