This morning we woke up in our swanky Motel 6 and hit the road towards Portland. We were excited because we really thought we would like Portland, plus tonight we were going to be in a Hampton Inn. Luxury in comparison to recent sleeping accommodations. We started off on I-5 North. We stopped in Eugene … More Portlandia.

This morning we woke up in our Motel 6 hotel. It was wonderful to have been able to sleep in a bed and have an nice warm shower this morning. We got ready and headed out for breakfast around 9 am.

We woke up at our wonderfully quiet campground at Yosemite Creek. We packed up our tent and braced ourselves for the bumpy ride back to the main road. The drive back into Yosemite Valley to where the showers were was about 1.5 hours away. The showers were $5 a person, but unlimited time. Since the … More The City.

Monday morning and we woke up at the Grand Canyon. It’s still amazing to believe when you woke up in the morning and realize where you are!

This morning we woke up in Sin City aka Las Vegas. After spending less than $100 on gambling and walking our gluttonous buffet off, we felt pretty good about ourselves.

      Capitol Reef is only about 2.5 hours from Moab. You drive through the middle of nowhere Utah to get there, as evident by the fact we went 40+ miles without any sign of a bathroom. (Almost had a close call). Once we got to the park we got a campsite at the Fruita … More Capitol Reef National Park and Arrival at Bryce Canyon
