Vacation

Winter Cruise

Verna drove the cruiser home from the RV rental yard. At home we put the GMC in the garage, grabbed the dog and took off for Twentynine Palms, California, where we are tonight. Tomorrow we will tour Joshua Tree National Park before heading over to Arizona.

Cooking While Cruising

I found this picture on the internet when Verna asked me if we would be able to cook while we’re traveling down the road in a rented motorhome. I was looking to see if there were any gadgets that we could use to heat meals, á lá crockpot-style.

I couldn’t find anything that would be suitable for our needs and I would be afraid of carbon-monoxide poisoning with a device like this one, even if they were available today. I guess we’ll have to settle for cooking on the stovetop and in the microwave when parked.

Summer Grand Canyon Panorama

This is the Grand Canyon as it appeared on a summer day in July, 2008. The panoramic image came from a series of photos taken at the South Rim near Mather Point. I stitched the photos together to make this panoramic view.

Hopefully, I will soon be able to show this same panoramic view as it appears in the wintertime. Stay tuned.

Sheer Rock Wall

This towering obelisk rises 1300 feet above the canyon floor in Zion National Park. I combined two photos I took in the canyon last summer to capture this view.
