Utah 2023

Day 19 (Tuesday, October 24, 2023) I’m back at work today … but fortunately, my work-from-home extends to my home-on-wheels, given the Starlink internet connection! So while we’re stuck in the campsite (can’t get too far away from the router to avoid losing signal), we’re still on the road – leaving options for further trip exploration right outside the (trailer) door. Day 20 (Wednesday, October 25, 2023) Day 2 of working (it’s going to be a short 3-day week, but … Read More

Day 1 (Friday, October 6, 2023) It’s Friday midday and the trailer is packed, truck ready to go, cat & house sitters on their way to take over Pixl & Nova duty – and we are off! After almost 2 ½ years of no “real” vacation away from any stress and just Kirk and I (plus J.T.), we are finally ready to hit the road again to Get Away for 3 weeks! We’re returning to Utah, where we’ve gotten lost … Read More
