Homeward bound: 13 weeks later!

​August 19, 2022

Well, it’s over.

I arrived home mid afternoon, after almost 5 hours of driving. Most of it was in the rain, surprisingly. The monsoons have been active. I was rather stunned driving through the northern part of Flagstaff to witness the mudslides that I heard about. Much of which came over the highway, and so close by some residential homes. Concrete barricades were put up to protect them from falling into these deep washes. Along with fires, comes mudslides, in the rains. Former entry into the national forests, for camping, were closed. It was hard to keep focused on the highway as I was distracted on these views. I arrived home, and it felt odd, and good, after being gone for months. I unloaded the perishable items in the blistering heat. I guess I’ve acclimated to the cool climate of Colorado, and here I am in reality of summer, as it’s hot, for most of the summer, everywhere else as well. It will take a while to settle in, but I am so grateful that I was able to travel for 13 weeks without any huge major incidences. 

I am safe and sound here with Jo Jo. It’s been truly epic experiences of a lifetime! I feel like the luckiest gal in the world, to have these opportunities and can’t wait to plan my future road trip!

At home now… from the great 2023 Alaska Road Trip!

​ Jo Jo and I are home, from the trip of a lifetime! 106 days, 11,539 miles, 675 gallons of gasoline, a ton of fun, beautiful views, and amazing experiences. Other than a brief head cold, no other mishaps, except my souvenir windshield chips. The Sylver Gypsy performed wonderfully. She kept me safe and warm. My last days were drive heavy, but I managed a quick stop at Bryce Canyon National Park. My last night was in the Coconino Forest near Flagstaff, where I also made a brief stop at Sunset Crater. I’ll need a few moments to adjust being back to reality, but it’s nice to be home!

Bryce Canyon National Park, then almost home

Image
​ A great night in the Utah desert, and a rather chilly morning, surprisingly, but I got up and hurried out of there with the intention of getting to Bryce Canyon National Park. I wondered if I would have enough time and decided it was only 20 minutes one-way, out-of-the-way as I continued on my route home. This would be my third time visiting Bryce and I’m so glad I did. As with any National Park, there are some new changes and the Ranger told me that because I’m over 20 feet I would have to park in the main parking lot and take the shuttle bus in to see the viewpoints. She gave me a tag to hang in my window. My heart sank to the bottom, since I know the shuttle buses will not except pets, and I was not willing to leave Jo Jo. However, upon examining the tag, it indicated vehicles over 23 feet to park and shuttle. My Travato is 21 feet. Hmmmm, I was annoyed. So I ignored the directions and went straight to the parking area at the sunrise amphitheater and not only did I see other campe...

Beaver, UT

​ Well, another day of long driving and just two fill ups, but then I did stop at a place called Rowley’s Red Barn farm market. I wonder why they were so many people and kids and then I realized it was Labor Day. They had so many goodies there I wound up getting a fresh peach, tomato, and corn on the cob, and some apples. Of course, I had to get the chocolate covered caramel popcorn and chocolate covered blueberries, just as a souvenir from leaving the blueberry season in Alaska. Leave it to me to justify all my purchases. I kept driving and driving and got to a dispersed spot in the desert, just nearby Beaver, Utah. The first directions lead me to a very narrow roadway, which I elected not to take. Though further on down the road, about a quarter of a mile, I found a pull out intersecting between two roads and this is where I stayed. Except for a few farm vehicles, it was a restful night and a chilly morning. It’s near the highway full of sage, juniper and rolling mountains. I enjoyed...
