April 28, 2014.  Two weeks into the journey and still no calls to our divorce lawyer!  We had toyed with the idea of getting a side car for the Airstream to bring him along, but we decided that may prevent us from … Continue reading →

April 27, 2014.  The rain disappeared overnight and we awoke to a fantastically sunny cool day.  The newly arrived Airstreamers did an admirable job of getting organized, taking showers, eating breakfast, and getting set to tackle Zion all by 8:30 am!  I am … Continue reading →
