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:

And here's the first photo I took of the arch, with not a soul in sight:

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!

We finally made it back to Mesa from Alaska & Yukon, via Jasper, Missoula, St George & Vegas (slight detour for several shows, in order to hit Danny's Oasis truck wash -- removing last remnants of calcium treatment picked abit north of Destruction Bay!).

 

Will be here for a few weeks tending to RV recovery from 5 months, 9k miles of travel; plan to be in NorCalif for T'giving & Christmas.

We are at Cherry Hill Park outside Washington DC near the Beltway in MD. My son came down from NY and is sleeping in the truck. We had a great day yesterday with him and my daughter who lives here including a nice church service and a visit to the Air and Space Museum in Chantilly, VA.

We will stay in Mayo a week, start in 12/14. John Palmer is swapping the ARC-ME he sold me for a newer one with firmware compatable with the hybrid inverter. I am also taking truck down to Henry to swap out the hitch. Then we will stay 5 nights in Topsail SP before arriving at Rainbow Plantation for a month.
