This one is a little bittersweet as this is the last post for part 1 of our adventures. Saying goodbye to the mountains is always difficult, but I’ll get to that. From Rifle, pretty much our errand day and making sure my car wouldn’t die on me like my other one did 2 summers ago, …

Adventure Days 11, 12, 13, & 14: Carbondale, CO —> Silverthorne, CO —> Denver, CO —> Rifle, CO
Friday we left Carbondale and drove through the mountains to get to Denver so we could pick up Mandy from the airport. I am forever thankful to my adventure partner for coming out for the weekend to explore the mountains with us. We left the airport and went back into the mountains without a definitive …
Adventure Days 9, 10, & 11- Kanab, UT –> Vernal, UT –> Carbondale, CO
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated due to lack of internet and just enjoying the great outdoors and the open road. From Kanab we went up to Vernal, Utah, which is right on the border of Utah and Colorado and the gateway to Dinosaur National Monument. When we got to Vernal, we set-up camp and …

Adventure Days 6, 7, & 8??: Grand Canyon —> Kanab, Utah
It’s been a few days…the past 2 campsites I’ve been at have been in the middle of nowhere, so no service to even try to type this out on my phone (like the first day). It’s been a busy few days, lots of driving and sightseeing since it gets so hot in the afternoon (close …

Days 4 & 5: Holbrook, Arizona
2 days ago in New Mexico, I made a decision to get a hotel room last night because Rolo had been limping all day and there seemed to be no cause for it, so a real bed and some A/C appeared to be the most logical solution. We got in the car and drove the …
Adventure Day 3: Texas –> Las Vegas….New Mexico
This morning Rolo and I were woken up at 4am (early wakeups are normal on this trip I guess..) to coyotes howling. Not exactly what I want to be waking up to, and Rolo agreed since he moved from sleeping at my feet to being my little spoon. Our plan was to get up early …

Adventure Day 2: Rogers, Arkansas—> Palo Duro Canyon, Texas
Despite me checking, double checking, and quadruple checking the forecast, it was still wrong. The 50% chance of rain turned out to be 100% chance of thunderstorms. Rolo and I woke up at 5am to find a very nice (if I was at home sitting on the porch) storm rolling our way. Even if you …

Adventure Day 1: Rogers, AR
Surprisingly enough, Rolo and I left on time by my standards at 7:20am, which was partially due to Rolo not wanting to leave grandma and grandpa’s and hiding at my dad’s side in bed. We got into Rogers around d 5:30pm only to be greated by the suffocating humidity and heat I thought I left …
Adventure Day 0
The first post is always the weirdest to write. This past weekend was a final weekend spent with friends before seeing them head off on their next (or first) big adult adventures. Today was spent running the last of my errands and finally packing my car–things I’ve been putting off for a very long time. …
