And 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 GoI 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 […]
Read More Keep Driving“I wore my boots out walkin’ Poured my heart out talkin’” Railroad Earth Yes, I missed another day of blogging yesterday, but this time I have a really good excuse.

Read More Long Way to Go“Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods? Are we in the clear yet?Are we in the clear yet?” Taylor Swift I had the best night’s sleep last night. Not really sure why since it was in a tent. Maybe it was the whiskey? Or just the night. I did […]

We had breakfast and semi packed up, since we had decided […]
Read More Mountain Brews“Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast” Paul Simon Today wasn’t quite what we expected, but it ended nearly perfectly so I have no complaints. We got up early in Cortez and got on the road quickly. We were all a little sad that the HIE seems to be going through a […]
Read More The Coast“All we do Crumbles to the ground” Kansas I had high hopes for our trip to Chaco this year, but it turned out that COVID is still keeping some things closed.

Read More Dust in the Wind“Well I’m accustomed to a smooth ride … I don’t expect to sleep through the night Paul Simon As I write this I am reclining in a camp chair with my feet up on a rock in Chaco Canyon. I’m sipping the last cold water I may get for a couple days. There are rainclouds […]
Read More The Obvious Child“And we walked off to look for America” – Simon and Garfunkel Today I discovered that the best fireworks display in the country happens in Cortez, CO.
