Bill went off to ride ‘Slickrock’ while I pootled around and did laundry, went grocery shopping, read my book and swam in the pool…exciting stuff!! Our adventure after lunch was going paddle boarding on the Colorado River with Paddle Moab and the outing we chose….”Our Splish n’ Splash guided paddling boarding trip is good for […]
We got up at 5am so we could beat the masses that would be heading into Zion Canyon. You can only take a shuttle bus into the canyon and the line ends up like waiting for a ride at Disney World! We got a little confused by the buses at the visitors center as there
We had an early breakfast at the Cliff Dwellers restaurant and Gary had a play on the big rock and the bikes…silly Gary!! Then it was off to the North rim of the Grand Canyon which was 75 miles one way, it was well worth it! The highest elevation we got to was 8840ft above
Bill went out for another early morning bike ride and actually rode some of the trail we walked yesterday. We left Sedona at 9 ish and drove from an elevation of 4,350ft up to Flagstaff at an elevation of 6,909ft where we stopped to charge. The road out of Sedona was steep and twisting, as

Bill got up early to see Gil off at around 5:30am. He had to get a early start before the heat of the day, because it’s no joke in this excessive heat on the motorcycle. We then headed off to the Buckeye Municipal airport for some extreme fun……SKYDIVING!!! Whatever possessed me to suggest this to
We got up early so we could have breakfast at the hotel before leaving. I took the fresh, warm cinnamon buns to go…yum! When we walked out of the hotel the sky was so beautiful. We got to White Sands National Park at 6:35am and waited for the gate to open at 7am. Another amazing
Bill got up at 6am to ride the trails we walked yesterday, he wore the Go Pro this time so you get to see what fun he’s having! 8.8 miles in all, it went much quicker than the hike and he was back before I knew it! I packed up all the stuff while he
We started a hike at 8am but it was already getting hot out. We should have started an hour or two earlier because it was over 90 by 11am. We were hiking a trail called “The Lighthouse” which has some amazing rocks which make it look like a lighthouse. The trail is an out and
