Grand Canyon North Rim

Started the day by heading to the Kanab BLM center to get info on the Escalante National Monument and found the drive was more than expected.  Also I am to the point I actually need to pay attention to the date – time is going by too fast!  Alas, no Escalante on this trip.  Also … Read more

Officially captured my first moose on … Read more

Weather of course did … Read more

Headed to Idaho Falls, Idaho and threw up a prayer on Couchsurfing. Ended up meeting some great people who greeted me with a hug and … Read more
