Last weekend we headed down into the Canyonlands in Utah. It is one of my very favorite places to be and one of the most pristine environments I have experienced.

Highlights: Colorado Springs, Buena Vista, UFO Watchtower

It’s pretty dang… Continue reading The Maze

I ended up stopping and camping near the Oregon dunes. It was a bit rainy so I opted for… Continue reading Down the west coast – part 2
