Our Adventures Through City and Backcountry
Just got home from Illinois Lock the front door, oh boy Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch. CCR Lots of things have happened since I last wrote over a week ago. Friends visited Mancos, we visited those same friends at their house, we went to Chicago, we stayed at a Kimpton. […]
Read More Lookin’ Out My Back DoorKudos to Ellie for keeping this project afloat! She’s definitely the one who complians the most when we make her write, but the only one that did it when it was optional. It’s been a whirlwind of a couple of weeks. we had a wonderful time with the Stewarts, had a crazy trip back home, […]
Read More Boggy DrawAnd I’ve waited for her for so long I’ve waited for her for so long I’ve wondered if I could hang on I’ve wondered if I could hang on, yeah CAKE I didn’t expect to be in Mancos tonight, but here I am. We started the morning early, a 5:30 AM alarm woke us up. […]
Read More Let Me GoToday was such a fun day! We hiked to the top of Angel’s Landing. It wasn’t that bad at all over all except my legs are sore now. I was not looking forward to today but it ended up being really good. The first part of the hike was a bunch of large switchbacks. It […]
Read More Angel’s LandingIt’s like trying to catch a falling star The Heights Phew, what a day! We woke up at Bryce Canyon, loaded up Fred and were on the road before 8 this morning.

If you have a puzzle or poster or other picture of bryce hanging or displayed in your home it does no justice. Being in Bryce and doing the hike with all the ups and downs (literally […]
Read More I LOVE BRYCEToday was a very boring day. I woke up an accidentally hour late and had 15 minutes to shower, pack, and get ready. I was in destress. Our first stop of the day was Safeway. We picked up some stuff to make peanut butter and jelly, muffins, and other miscellanious stuff. We quickly arrived to […]
Read More Driving to UtahToday felt like a vintage Knott family road trip day. We woke up early and hit the road for a 6 hour drive. The first stop was the Four Corners Monument, the intersection of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona. For all the time we’ve spent in those four states, we’ve always intentionally skipped this. […]
Read More Day 7: Mancos to Bryce NPI would ask, “Should we just keep driving?” Maple syrup, coffee Harry Styles Today was the first absolutely positively normal old-school road trip day! It was a little bit weird leaving life in Colorado for a mini-vacation to Utah. Packing up last night was much less of an experience than packing for a full summer […]
