Ahh, Homolovi is so peaceful and beautiful that we think we’ll stay another few days.  Kidding – only about the longer stay.  It really is a special place.  There’s definitely […]

The blog entries are thinning as our journey comes to an end. Now, it’s pretty much us making our way west. Today we’re back in Homolovi State Park, the campground […]

Day 24 - Freezing in NM
