2017 Road Trip

We took a nice long road trip for vacation this year.  Below will be lots of pictures....
We traveled a total of 2723 miles.
Our car reeks of sweat.


 A general idea of everywhere we went.  This doesn't include all of our random side trips...


 Grand Canyon North Rim.


 Marble Canyon.


 South Rim (still a novice at using a fancy camera, sorry, not sorry.)

South Rim with humans


 Meteor Crater (definitely not worth the money)



With Cody at Meow Wolf, a very cool place.

 Bowling the Moon
 Jumping the moon
 It was not cool there.  We were sweaty all night.
 Sunrise meant we could leave, because they open the gates!

 Carlsbad Caverns.

 Carlsbad Caverns.  This is the remains of a 90 foot ladder back in the early 1900's when they were exploring this place.  Imagine swinging on this in almost total darkness...



Pagosa Springs

 Mesa Verde is all burned up on top.

 But the homes are still intact and cool.

 The tours involved small spaces/crawling, and large ladders on the cliff.  I hate heights.





 Fiery Furnace.  We took lots of pictures to make sure we wouldn't get lost.  Can you see the small arrow we're supposed to locate?  (Jake is pointing to where we came from, in case we need to back track.  The Ranger had very little faith in us figuring it out...But we did it!  Proved that man wrong!)

 The prayer rock? High five?


 Delicate Arch.
