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”
Today was probably the most disappointing day of the trip. We drove to Pikes Peak to go up the mountain. We found out when we got there, it was under construction. We were able to drive about 2/3 the way to the top, then had to park and get into vans to be shuttled to … Continue reading “Southwest Summer Adventure – 6/13/2019”
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”
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”
