Where I stayed

Visiting a friend

Sunday, July 19, 2009

We are still traveling and still having fun exploring this amazing country of ours. I've been been lousy at posting; much of the time we haven't had wi-fi or, if we have, I've been washing our clothes and/or working with C to keep up our finances -- instead of writing blog posts! Happy Camper is doing wonderfully well (yes, John, we got her oil changed in San Luis Obispo, CA) except for the ongoing issue with the shifter. We have come over some very high mountain passes in the past few days (10-12,000 feet) and she climbs like a trouper, never overheats, just hums along.

Since the last post we've visited Las Vegas, camped in Zion National Park, explored Salt Lake City and the surrounding area (and had an evening with Joan and Larry Mercer there), been to Arches National Park and stayed in Moab UT, explored some of the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde, and driven across the Rockies to near Denver. We'll spend the day tomorrow with Jane's longtime friend Starr (who lives in Boulder), then explore Rocky Mountain National Park before we take a couple of days to kind of consolidate all we've seen and experienced. And then we'll head for home, planning to be there by the end of July or maybe even a couple of days sooner.
