Musings

(posted on 28 Mar 2017)

Home for our current March adventure is a rental 31 foot motorhome - it houses two senior humans and one senior dog, and has weathered intense sun and equally intense rain, snow, sleet, and hail. It provides spacious comfort when "camped" but shrinks to insignificance between semis on the interstates or riding beneath towering Utah rock formations. Wondrous canyons and majestic cliffs have given my lens plenty of exercise - and a challenge beyond its capacity - that is to register the grandeur and expanse of the spell-binding 360 degree landscape. Utah is an enchanting land.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. First Arizona's Grand Canyon (lives up to it's name).

Now Utah, starting with Monument Valley.

Amazing colours highlight a miraculous route across Southern Utah from Blanding through
Hanksville and Torrey, on towards Bryce Canyon.

We are now heading north for home and the scenery has changed dramatically! Today we drove through Eureka, Nevada which bills itself as "the friendliest town on the loneliest road in America".
