October 8, 2015 We have had quite a trip over the last few weeks as we’ve been making our way around the national parks in southern Utah. Even though the Grand Canyon is in Arizona, not Utah, it was definitely…
Canyonlands National Park and Moab
October 1-3, 2015 It’s amazing how different national parks can be, especially when they are so close to one another. Canyonlands National Park was the fourth national park we’ve visited on our loop around southern Utah. We just finished visiting…
Arches National Park
So we got our landing gear replaced on Monday. We upgraded to a Bulldog dual-motor system. These new landing legs work so much better than the single motor system! I’m no longer worried every time I go to raise the…

Crater Lake
July 2 – 9, 2015 Crater Lake is really that color. Yes, look at the photos. It looks like they’ve been enhanced, but no, Crater Lake is really that color of blue. It is even more stunning in person. Crater…
