the RV park, the city, the city park, the Christmas parade, hurricane lanterns and laundromats!! After dry camping in a beautiful, rustic location near Bryce National Park, I was ready to move on. I wasn’t sure what the terrain was ahead of me. So I did a lot of looking online . I also wanted a place where I would have electricity again and water would be good too. So I found that 73 miles south in Kanab, Utah. I…
October 29, 2021 In retrospect, I wrote this blog when I was already suffering the symptoms of Covid. As I look back on this, I was really struggling. I have added to it and finished it. Background Delicate Arch is one of the most famous arches at the National Park. You can drive to a View Point to see The Arches or you can drive to a trail to hike up to the arch. The description of the trail is…
Today, October 28, 2021, I finally got here !! My main destination since I left Wisconsin. Moab, Utah and Arches National Park! I have never been here and it was a National Park I really wanted to see. 👍 The photos of the Arches always appeared beautiful, intriguing and so unique!! It’s a 45 minute drive to the park from my campground. I arrived just before 10:00 a.m.. I have no idea if I was already too late to get…
November 06, 2021 I was feeling a bit better today, and decided I needed to get out a little. I thought moving around would help my circulation and I’d get an idea how I was doing. I did not intend to do any hiking. My infusion nurse had actually told me about scenic drive along the Colorado River going north towards what is known as Dewey’s Bridge. It sounded interesting as well as doable. I looked it up and found…
date: October, 15, 2021 Custer State Park was going to be a nice stop where I could rest and get water and electricity before heading on to Moab. Like Wall Drug, I haven’t been here in years and I wanted to visit the area.My first destination, was Mount Rushmore. Because of all the snow that had fallen in the Black Hills, not all the roads were open. So my first stop was at the visitor center to find out which…
What next I had been in the doctor’s office with Dr Bartczak when the notification that I was positive for Covid came through. She stated that this would now change our discussion and she had a number of questions for me. We went briefly through my medical history on a checklist. Wondering if I had any of these conditions which included diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure etc. The only thing I could name was an irregular heartbeat. In order…
Today…November 2nd When you are on the road for months, you’re bound to need some kind of medical care for something. It’s hard to get through 6 months without “something.” Well, I got “something” within a month. 🙄 So, here I am, in Moab, Utah, sitting outside under an Urgent Care tent, waiting my turn. I came in a few minutes before it opened at 1:00 and started the registration process. There were others already waiting! Why am I here?…
On Way to Custer After my couple days and a final morning going through the outside backyard of Wall Drug, it was time to head out. I already shared the aftermath of the storm and the overturned RVs encountered on the way. Scary reminder of the force of nature. But the change in weather was immediate and the skies were clear and off I went. Well, the skies may be clear, but the road and winds were a constant challenge….
