** Sorry for no updates for awhile, blogger keeps giving me the new editor which is a lot harder to use than the old one. My settings are set for the old one but somehow the new one keeps popping up. Ugh **
Our plan on Sunday of this Memorial Day wknd trip was to take a drive on a scenic highway and stop and places that looked cool along the way.
I love what the back of this motor home says , "Dont dream your life,live your dreams!" So true and thats what I try to do!
Sunday morning we went all over - on a scenic highway and just drove and drove and drove. We did some hiking too in a petrified forest which was cool. We went the longer way which I thought I was going to die but I didnt. Thanks to my helpful handy hiking sticks that Tony let me use!
Some cool petrified wood we saw. I wish I could have taken a piece but after reading stories in the visitors center about people who have done that and had lots of bad luck, I didnt dare!
Made it to the top!
Pretty flowers along the way.
Found a sweet slot canyon - we walked inside of it and then back out because it didnt go back too far into the mountain. My camera setting didnt work so great here either...love love slot canyons though, I think they look so neat!
It was SO pretty & one of my favorite parts of the drive. I'll have to post the movie I took.

Step backwards to Friday evening..Tony had brought a lot of wood from SLC plus the area we were in had a lot of wood to use but the picture above shows Tony after throwing a heavy rock (pictured by his right foot) at a board to break it in half. He'd throw the rock again and again until the board broke. He did have an axe but I guess he thought this way was more fun? It was definitely entertaining to me..
Thanks to my many years at Girls Camp, we were able to build a successful fire...great for warming ourselves at night when it got cold & of course roasting marshmallows! Sadly I forgot to make roasted banana-chocolate-marshmallow-creation. Next time!
Tony brought a sweet camping stove and we made soup and boiled water for hot chocolate and for oatmeal on it. So handy & worked pretty quick!
