Sorry everyone for not posting anything for awhile. I got caught up with the break at home in AZ.
For those that don't know, since Oct. 1 and the shutdown I have been staying at my Dad's in Phoenix. While most of it has been relaxing, we did take a trip up to the Flagstaff area and have done some odds and ends things while I waited for the parks to reopen.
Now that they are open, I will be doing what I can of my remaining trip. Since I still wanted to be home by Nov 1, it will be shorter than originally planned. I only have 5 days until I meet up with my brother and family in San Luis Obispo, CA. In that time I will swing through the 5 Utah parks, some of the most famous in the country. Unfortunately, I will have to skip the 4 parks in Colorado and Great Basin in Nevada (for now). I will only spend about a day in each park, which is less than ideal, but it will give me a taste and motivation to return.
I probably won't update again until I am back in Davis. Thanks everyone who has followed my trip and I hope you were able to get a bit of the enjoyment of it.
