Day 120. Tuesday 27th August. Cokeville to Sheffield Creek Campsite. Wyoming.

At last, a cold night. In fact it it was 3dgC at 7am.  Our camp site was great. With the the wheels on the hard we backed up to a swathe of lush green grass to erect the Caranex on.  The owners of a 5th wheel Caravan next to us,…

Day 118. Sunday 25th August. Capitol Reef National Park to Nephi, Utah.

It was a tranquil camp site about 30 miles from Capitol Reef National Park. So much cooler and more pleasant up in the hills. Close to 3000m elevation.  A 17 mile drive to the township of Torrey, Utah, where we picked up some supplies and managed to get some internet…

Day 114. Wednesday 21 August. Grand Canyon. Arizona.

We made the decision yesterday to take a day off and explore this astounding natural phenomenon.  Driving in last afternoon, we are on a sealed road with forest on both sides. Then, like another world appears, glimpsing this spectacular chasm beside us. We both went…WOW!!! Our camp site is basic…

Day 112. Monday 19th August. Show Low to Cottonwood. Arizona.

Happy Birthday Natsuki…:) I ran a few checks over the mechanicals last night and changed the fuel filter. I mentioned earlier that the power is down a bit and I noticed there’s exhaust smoke under load.  The camp site last night was so quiet. Not many campers and they were…

Day 110. Saturday 17th August. Santa Rosa to Grants, New Mexico.

  Waking around 7am. Breakfast made in the Landy and we are on our way by 9am. The first stop was a car museum, just down the road. It’s nothing flash but a lot of old ’50’s & ’60’s memorabilia. There were a couple of nicely prepared cars. One a…

Day 108. Thursday 15th August. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Pampa, Texas.

We didn’t have a great sleep last night, but it’s a great camp site. I have to say, I liked the appearance and feel of Oklahoma City. Pop. 650,000. Brick is strongly featured. As Jen said, the entry into the city from the east was short and easy. The exit…

Day 106. Tuesday 13th August. Perryville, Arkansas (Arkansaw) to Eufaula, Oklahoma.

Thank you to neighbour Fred in last night’s camp site, who loaned us a huge fan. It must’ve been 800×800 square and had four speeds. Fortunately we were close to a power point and had the fan in the Caranex tilted up and with the back door open, got a…

Day 104. Sunday 11th August. Lamon Homestead, west of Fayetteville to Memphis. Tennessee.

It was a hot humid night. We were up and ready to face the day at 8am…..Well, that’s what my watch said, but I hadn’t wound it back from crossing a time zone yesterday. So it was 7am. Still, the sun was coming up, and we had miles to do. …

Day 102. Friday 9th August. Mt Pisgah Camp site. North Carolina to Thunder Rock Campground, Ocoee. Tennessee.

It was a most pleasant evening, high up in the mountains. Lovely cool air and the light duvet on for the first time.  The morning dawned beautifully sunny and after breakfast and packing up, we were on the road by 10am.  With only about 60 miles to go to the…
