From back in early March, a few miles above Jerome, AZ.  The bump on the horizon is the San Francisco P3eaks.  Flagstaff is at the base of the peaks, some 40 miles away as the crow flies. ~Curtis in Arizona, then at least! {!-{>

Approaching Idaho! Over the Malad Summit into the Marsh Valley, north of Pocatello. On the plains north of Idaho Falls.  Straight and flat. The renounced bridge of the Union Pacific RR on Monida Pass. Monida Pass and back in /\/\onTana! at last! Reaching Helena.  My green tailgater took off at Lima, and was just getting […]

A fairly short day from St. George to Brigham City, north of Ogden.  Around 300 miles, all freeway (I15N).  Same distance as yesterday, but much less uphill and no two lane.  The last stretch is tomorrow: 517 miles or so. Early daylight. Somewhere north of Cedar City, approaching Beaver, I think.  Sunny but not too […]

Leaving on the epic (and by that I hope completely boring) drive back to Montana.  Where the Interstate was closed by wildfires already.  Photos by me and the Dailylife Wife. It is all up hill and previously covered from Clarkdale to Flagstaff…my phone was not wanting to take photos.  Eventual I got that fixed.  It […]

After spending much of the day getting ready for traveling home, the sky gave a nice show.  That funny white dot is the crescent Moon with the dark side illuminated with Earthshine.  Neat in person, not too bad for a cellphone! A little closer. And as a close up*…while it looks like you can see […]

We are pulling out Saturday.  I have the reservations.  Three long days; just what we usually take either way, but I remember snow in years past.  It will two days of complete AC this time, with the last day a bit cooler. Skeeter has been demanding to talk to the Dailylife Wife at least weekly. […]

It is getting hot here.  Probably hotter than it has ever been while we have been down here.  No, not quite 124F, but over 90.  I moved the sensor from between the propane tanks, which acted like heat sinks and kept the temperature very slow to react, to on top of the jack stand.  Under […]

We were out shopping and I found this dastardly little gem.  Quite evil, indeed.  Not sure I want to tell the grandkitters; I think I want it all for myself! ~Curtis in Arizona! {!-{>
