Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

International Vulture Awareness Day

Some will agree that bald is beautiful. For vultures it makes sense as they eat carrion, dead stuff.  Read more about vultures here.

Going to Zion National Park


The Beefalo were out near the entrance gate
Left the North Rim just before noon Tuesday under a semi-cloudy sky.

Dropping off the Kaibab Plateau I could barely see the giant cliffs of the Grand Staircase Escalante because of the rain clouds and haze. Smoke actually, from either the LA or Utah fires.

It was still a bit hazy on the drive towards Zion.

Yet improved as I approached the park.

I took soooo many photos this story will have to be stretched out a bit. Keep coming back please.

Sky Watch Friday - Sunset over Zion Canyon


Had a great time at Zion National Park. Just got home and have unpacking, blog reading and 100s of photos to label. Hope to get some posts up about walking the Virgin River into The Narrows, yet have to return to work tomorrow.

Remember Whensday - X rated me


Hey, I was only 1-year old.

Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #13 (I think). I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.

(I’m out of town so won’t be able to add my name to this marvelous meme. Just go there anyway.)

Change of Scenery


Angels Window from Cape Royal Trail
OK, I spent Monday out on the Walhalla Plateau, hung out at several overlooks chatting with visitors and gave a geology and archeology program.

View from Walhalla overlook
It’s beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, outstanding...... But I still need a change of scenery. I have the next three days off and haven’t been off the rim in weeks.
At Walhalla overlook
All day I tossed an imaginary coin between Zion and Bryce National Parks. Louise at Potted Frog really teased me with her recent visit to Bryce. Yet it’s a little cold there at night so I’m going to Zion where it’s very warm and if it rains, who cares.
