Western Adventure

Not too much sailing the last two weeks but we came back from a great 2-week adventure into Utah and Arizona. We started out in Moab with day trips to the Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. Next stop was the Grand Canyon and a South Rim to North Rim backpacking trip. We then finished off the trip with a stay at Park City.

What most appeals to me about future cruising is exploring areas and seeing different sites. The Utah trip was similar and eased my adventure urge for a little while, at least a week or so. Looking forward to when my life becomes nothing but an adventure.

We do have some sailing plans this year but for now, here's some pictures of our backpack trip across the Grand Canyon.
