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.

Hi Gaelyn, What an adventure and a rainbow, too. I like the way the road stretches to infinity. Mary is here and says, "Hi," She wants us to plan a trip to the N Rim - maybe in spring.

That sure was exciting going through all that water! The drop off and the boiling mud just out side the frame was intense!
Thanks for the adventure!

Beautiful scenes of the dark sky, the rainbow, and the interesting light.
The flash flood sounds like quite an adventure. Glad no one was swept away.

I was looking at the beautiful scenery (can't wait to see it in person!), and then I saw the flooding. Oh no! I know that a car can be swept away in only 6 inches of water.
Your excursion is exactly where I'll be in about a week--Hurricane. My husband and I are visiting friends. We are working on planning a day or 2 at the North Rim. ( hopefully, August 18 & 19. Less than 2 days just isn't enough!)
That last photo is magnificent!

I love this post, all the amazing scenery, skies and water experiences. The west is just an incredible place to live, and to think we really aren't that far apart. I was just in Cedar City just last week!

There is just no telling what can happen with water like that and I am pleased you made it through my friend. That last picture is stunning!! What a beautiful way to end a day.

Its amazing how that storm followed a trail and dumped all that water in its wake while the surrounds got nothing.

The sunset photo with the bare trees in the forground is stunning.

Glad you made it there and back. I love the rainbow but that last picture is stunning. Diane

Pat said...

Oh, those skies....and the last photo especially is a real beauty.

The flooded hwy does look scary to cross. The skies are awesome in this post, I love the rainbow, sun rays and sunset, wow!

Carolyn said...

Gaelyn, what stunning landscape and skies and you have captured both so beautifully. Your video is a little unnerving considering all the flooding and flash flooding that is happening round the world. Do take care and thanks for sharing your part of the world.
Smiles and blessings

What an adventure! That was indeed an unnerving bit, crossing the raging waters in your wheel-estate. Gorgeous scenery!

Craver Vii said...

Mesmerizing sunsets! That video was scary.

Al said...

Those are lovely photos. Those flooded roads can be scary, one of the roads in town was washed out by a flash flood a couple of days ago.

Ruth said...

Gorgeous pictures of the sky. I don't know if I would have been brave enough to go through the flooded roadway. Neat video.

An adventure just going to the 'store'.. There is always some driver who needs rescue here when we have flooding...they don't listen to the warnings...
