Time for another road trip!

This trip has had many – and I mean many! – iterations.  In fact, plans are still in flux, especially with the heat dome sitting over the west and south of the United States.  The anchor of the trip, though, is Bryce Canyon National Park.  Nanine:  “Hey, you want to meet me at Bryce Canyon the end of July?”  Me:  “Sure!”

With reservations for three nights, that’s where I’m headed.  Following Bryce, today’s plan is Colorado, northern Utah, and Elko (NV).  From there, Nanine – and her wonderful pup Bossa – will peel off back home and I’ll continue onto Seattle, Portland, and Bend.  🙂

This morning, I woke up relatively early – for me! – and finished cleaning my home (friends will be staying there for some of the time while I’m gone) and packing up Addie.

Then, we hit the road.  Thank goodness for air conditioning! Temps got up to 113 degrees, the wind blew hard in the desert, and Addie and I kept moving.  We made only two short stops – gas, food, bathroom – all with Addie’s generator and house air conditioner blowing. Otherwise, drive on we did.  (Spoken as Yoda would…?  Thanks a lot, Greyson!  Haha!)

Tonight’s destination:  Boulder City, NV Elks.  Just south of Las Vegas, I chose this location for tonight’s stay since I could make a reservation, and I knew I wanted to plug in so I can run my a/c.

I only took a few pics I took today, all taken at the Elks Lodge…
