Our World–Planning a road trip

I love making a plan. Just not Too far in advance. Typically I can’t wrap my brain around more than about six months at a time.

I’m planning a road trip after my season is over mid-October at Grand Canyon. There are some places I want to revisit and lots of new landscapes to explore.

Plus, I’d really like to meet new people along the way also. And I’m positive I’ll cross paths with many.

However, I’m also hoping to meet up with fellow bloggers and some of you may be close enough to my path of adventure to make that possible.

So here’s an informal route and I’m Certainly open to recommendations. Really hope we can cross trails along the way.

Sorry about the funky map, I’m learning

Utah: Bryce National Park, Capital Reef National Park, Sego Canyon Petroglyphs, Dead Horse Point State Park, Canyonland National Park, Arches National Park, Moab, Hole in the Rock, Looking Glass Rocks, Wilson Arch, Church Rock, Valley of the Gods, Navajo Twin Rocks, Recapture Pocket, Hovenweep National Monument.                    Colorado: Mesa Verde National Park.          Four Corners.          Arizona: Navajo National Monument, Canyon De Chelly National Monument, Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site,  Hopi and Navajo lands, Tuba City, Flagstaff and HOME.

Did you notice just a few National Parks?

Sky Watch Friday - Stormy Colorado

On my drive home

I lived for a summer in southwestern Colorado while working at Mesa Verde National Park. (More about that in a future My World.) During the monsoon season I learned about “intermittent” rain. The skies were always amazing as a front moved through.

Glow In - Skywatch Friday

Glow In - Dolores, CO 2005

During 2005 I worked at Mesa Verde National Park in southwest Colorado. A little north of the park lays the small community of Dolores that hosted a hot-air balloon festival, which I missed during the day due to working. But at night, the balloons glowed. Unfortunately, bad weather with high wind was moving in so this is the only balloon that filled, and not for long.
