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”
First off, Happy Birthday to me! Nothing like being with my family on my birthday to make it a great day! We started off the day driving to Arches National Park where Corvin and I did our unicycle thing. Of course, there was tons of scenery for us all to take in! After we were … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/10/2019”
This day started out with an early walk for Corvin and I along the Vegas strip. It was interesting to see it on a Sunday morning. It was very empty and we even saw maintenance being done. Not sure what they are doing, its the Billagio Fountains they are working on. We took a long … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/9/2019”
This morning started out with Corvin and I uni-cycling the Las Vegas strip to get our Nevada complete. Once we completed it, we came back to the room to clean up. Corvin even completed some of his paperwork for his class. The first family thing to do today was visit the Hoover Damn. I’ve driven … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/8/2019”
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”
Corvin and Danelle got up super early and got sunrise photos at Angel Point. I slept in till 7 when I also woke up Sonora. Corvin and I did our unicycle ride for Arizona on the road. I had some issues with the hills as we started mostly straight up hill. The elevation was around … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/6/2019”
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”
