A descriptive look at traveling and full-timing with our second RV, a fifth wheel toyhauler.
Laura and Sasha started this adventure in April of 2005
for a two week vacation in a truck camper.
July 2010: At Canyonlands National Park!
I got a new computer in June, plus new software, and so did Sasha. So we were learning how to use these softwares and me on a Mac computer now, a bit different than a PC. But the biggest hurdle we had to deal with was the pictures. Sasha wanted more information than what I was putting into the pictures for those that are interested in EXIF and GPS data. I do not understand it all that well, but if you click on the Info buttons under options, you can see that information about the picture.
Each picture has a separate page about it, but I made it easy to go back, just hit the back button or the link in the table "Back to Main Page". It will go back to this page. Thank you and have fun looking....

The road down the mountain...looks almost like a Monet... |

The ridge to Moab |

The road going DOWN! I'd say some of this was at a 10% grade...Really hard to see in a photograph, but I'm sure with a few of these pictures, you get the idea. |
|
 |
So here is some of the road, hard to see it through the trees, but you are starting to get an idea of it... |
|
 |
Everything is so lush and green here, I guess being up in the mountains does have some benefits, cool climes, and water available... |
|
 |
Ok, as we were almost down, we started to notice something strange with the sky...I took this picture out the window, but the truck was not moving, ergo, that is not a fuzzy shot, BUT the sky itself...Dust coming up the valley perhaps? |
|
 |
Here comes the dust storm. But above it was rain, so would that mean we would get a mud storm? The storm was very localized, as it seems to be in the desert, but weird sky all the same. |

We spent a bit of time in Moab, got a nice bit to eat, and went to the thrift store for some more books. Then headed back up the mountain before dark.
We spent a bit of time at Red Rock Lodge in Moab, right on the river, beautiful place. They had internet, and a nice buffet lunch there. So we spent a bit of time watching the rafting trips go by.
Ultimately, we had to head back to Canyonlands, but when we did, I was able to go 4-wheeling with one of my co-workers, to the Colorado Overlook. While I did not drive, I was able to take a couple of pictures of the river. Check them out!

Uneven terrain here, always better to have a Jeep for this area! |
|
 |
Could see to ISky from here, but look how low the river seems to be and how green it is! These pictures were taken on July 14th. |
|
 |
The intrepid explorer - isn't this fun, and I get to do this for a living! |

OK, so that was pretty cool going out with Alicia and doing the Jeeping. We then went on a road trip in July, as we had three days off. And we checked out some pretty neat places....So Road Trip in July page is next.
Check out August's trip to Ouray, Colorado plus Sasha's using a new software called Aperture, which creates some amazing videos. Also check out the Expenses of August.
