Route Update

OK, OK, OK!

First, let me say the route posted for the next few month's does NOT have all the places in it we plan on stopping, just some of the highlights.

We usually never pass by any National Parks without stopping. At the start of the trip, we purchased the annual National Parks Pass and added the Golden Eagle option. This gives you access, besides the NP's, to any land or attractions managed by the Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife Services or Bureau of land Management. I originally thought the pass was overpriced. But, we have put it to good use, and we have not even hit the big stuff yet!

So, here's an updated map with a few additions. Thanks for the suggestions, keep em' coming! But, hey Karen M, lay off OK ;)


One exciting place (at least for us!) I probably should have included is the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT , just east of St George (click the link to check them out). I'm not really sure how Laura found this, but we are both looking forward to visiting them and doing a little volunteer work with the animals (especially the birds)!

We are here in Tucson until Tuesday morning, when we pack up and head to Desert Hot Springs. This will be a two day trip with a Wal-Mart stop in between. Look for updates on the Tramway and Joshua Tree NP once we arrive!

Again, keep the suggestions, emails, and comments coming, (but Karen M, one comment per post please !) it lets us know people are reading, and hopefully enjoying, the blog!
