An adventure through the states
Days 58 & 59: (1st and 2nd April) Rest Days Both of these days were rest days, so we don’t have much to report. We drove minimally around California, staying in the southern towns and attempting to plan the rest of this state and make decisions on whether or not we’ll go to Hawaii. We …
Let the sun shine bright! It was a gorgeous morning a perfect day for our sea going excursion. We headed from Corona to Newport Beach, a beautiful lush green area with a soft sandy beach, we are here to take a short boat ride out to ocean, where we will hopefully see some whales! We …
It was time to leave the glittering lights of Vegas for the sunshine bathed California. The drive to California was fabulous, entering the state from here was very pretty indeed the mountains climb higher than those in Nevada and the slow change between desert and beach environment was great. After being treated to a rainbow, …
Today waking in Cedar City, Utah was something else! It was a rather brisk and chilly morning, and we had snow! We were both a bit surprised when we headed out of the truck to find a good few inches on top of the roof and in the bed of the truck, however most of …
Waking to our gorgeous mountain views we knew we could make it to the elusive Moab today. We headed out and had a nice breakfast at a local cafe before hitting the road for the days mileage. Leaving Monticello we passed through the colder snow topped mountainous terrain which then started to evolve into the gorgeous …
Finally ready to head on out of New Mexico, we can say it has been an interesting state. Generally warm with a mix of Texan and Arizonan landscapes and an obvious emphasis on the Mexican culture. Today our initial intention was to reach a place called Mesa Verde in the very South western corner of …
After a lazy morning to recover from yesterday we prepared excitedly for our afternoon activity. We had a huge room that had the coolest lamp ever, which looked like it was out of 80s American movies and I couldn’t resist a cheeky pic, how long since you’ve seen one of these: Although our hotel was just …
Today we knew we had a rather long drive ahead of us, driving back to Albuquerque NM from Flagstaff AZ. This journey would probably take around 5 hours and we had at least 325 miles to cover. I had found out about an awesome little place that would help mask the fact that we would …
Rise and shine! The sun and fun was calling us today! We were finally able to go ahead and do a planned activity. I was really looking forward to today and was expecting to be in awe of our surroundings. This is one place I had never believed I would see beyond pictures. Rather than …
If anyone is able to remove the reflection in the top left-hand corner of this picture I would be exceedingly pleased! _ _ _ Today we were feeling the scenic side of Arizona, although it seems like we’ve already seen so much, but with the dust storm gone for good (we hope) we are eager …
After a late arrival in Albuquerque last night and finally connecting to some WiFi, we were in for some disappointing news. Unfortunately we had driven all the way here from Roswell for a special activity, which turned out to be fully booked. Assessing our situation we decided to work around this, because we both still …
After landing at Alamogordo, New Mexico last night, we were excited to head out today we had some strange happenings to check out 😉 . The scenery in New Mexico so far has been spectacular, each state we arrive at we don’t think it can get any better and then it does, in its own …
