I humbly apologize for the delay in posting after leaving Benson. I am very grateful to everyone who contacted me to be sure I made it to Moab safely. It has taken me a couple of weeks to pull myself together after that trip. Tire troubles continue to stalk me as I travel north. The most frustrating is a flat tire due to a defective valve stem. Once again, I call roadside assistance to meet me in the RV park and fix this morning’s aggravation. For just a few minutes there, I consider giving up and making this RV spot in New Mexico my new home.
Instead I spend an extra night in NM fixing my flat and giving myself a stern self talk about being a little more grateful for the good things. Determined to end this journey, I leave at sunrise for a full day run to Moab. I stop only for fuel and drive on vowing to get parked in Moab or die trying. Nine hours later, I pull into the park and kiss the gravel driveway.
I chill for week calming down from my too adventurous recent past. Lots of chocolate milkshakes from Milt’s Drive-In help considerably. After rediscovering my happy place, I venture out for a day hiking with thousands of others in Arches NP. Once MJ and Jack arrive with their sophisticated 2021 Rubicon, I join them for some off roading. Check out photos and video from my local adventures below.

You are an inspiration to us all!!
Especially the milkshakes part.

“Stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-It’s when things seem the worst that you mustn’t quit.”
This saying is on my desk right in front of my eyes….you are the doing and being of this saw.
