  1. Spent the last week of October in Kanab, UT, showing our two sons the national parks (Grand Canyon North Rim, Bryce Canyon, and Zion; previous week with one son only at Arches and Canyonlands). We are now parked at the SKP Saguaro Co-op in Benson, AZ, for a six-month lease. There's a red 610 here and several MDTs and 450-550-type trucks. And more Hitchhikers than I've seen in any other park I've stayed at! My wife, my son, and I visited Arches on October 20th. Delicate Arch was officially closed due to recent flooding across the road and repaving of the parking lot. So we got there early and parked in a turn-out and hiked 2.7 miles each way to see it. We had it all to ourselves for about 20 minutes; unheard of! Here is a photo of my son underneath the arch, with nobody else anywhere around: https://www.dropbox.com/s/z20bgzphpmzo71m/DSC03073.JPG?dl=0 And here's the first photo I took of the arch, with not a soul in sight: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2538vfo133erfrm/DSC03063.JPG?dl=0 As we hiked back we passed 2, 3, then lots of folks walking on their way to see it. It was pretty magical to have gotten there first that morning!
  2. Parked in Rochester MN for a couple of months, enjoying the Minnesota summer weather! Now I have time to gradually make repairs and upgrades to my new 2000 VNL770, getting it ready for a long haul south to warmer climes for the winter. Looking forward to using up all the old diesel fuel in the tanks and refilling with fresh stuff! Hutchinson in October is possible, but not sure yet. Pete and Kim
