Five thousand miles of road, from our home in Oregon, to Tucson, AZ, to pick up a new to us Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB, onward to Tulsa, OK to visit my mom and siblings. Then a week among the national parks in Utah before returning back home.
We are still on this journey, collecting pictures to this post as we go. Check back for updates!
The highways of Utah are stunning
Our route…
There is a section of Interstate 15 just south of St George, as you drop into Arizona that is a marvel of engineering. The ‘Radiator Springs Racers’ ride at Disneyland best describes the driving experience as you wind within a towering slot canyon coming down off the mesa.
A few hours in Vegas to stretch the legs and see the Sphere in person.
The forced perspective of The Aria is interesting, creating a complete cityscape in a relatively small area. .
Tucson, AZ. Moving into Rosie The Riveter, our new-to-us Airstream Flying Cloud 23FB.
Biosphere 2 is a fascinating visit, walking through so many different biomes from around the globe in one single setting.. Bring headphones for the self guided audio tour.
Staircase in the living quarters of Biosphere 2.
Tropical fruits
Jungle, in Arizona!
Sonoran Desert in northern Arizona
The Salt River Canyon on Highway 60 in Northern Arizona is an absolutely stunning drive… that requires a high level of concentration.
Some nights in the trailer aren’t so glamorous… A convenient Love’s RV Stop in Amarillo, TX. Earplugs required for sleeping.
Woolaroc museum outside Tulsa, OK. A tribute to the founder of Conoco 66 and his incredible collection of art, animals and artifacts.
Tepee at Woolaroc, outside of Tulsa, OK
Overnight above Denver. Arrived in the dark, woke up to snow and a long travel day ahead.
Driving toward Canyonlands and Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah
The view from Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah. The campground sits on a mesa two thousand feet above Moab and the Colorado River.
Arches National Park… if it wasn’t obvious
Current state… working remote from Torrey, Utah. That’s a cow through the window looking at me. This weekend we will be on to Zion and Bryce and then back to Oregon.
