March 9~10
Chasing the sun in this inordinately bizarre weather year is not easy! After three weeks in the desert, I'm getting bored. It's a totally bratty thing to say; where we are is gorgeous and the weather, mostly lovely, but this trip is all about exploration and adventure. I'm normally totally into wonderful, luxurious resorts, but right now I would like to get moving. We're committed to be here until the 17th....have spent many hours trying to figure out the weather patterns so we can get to some of the places we want to see. Everywhere is cold and some still snowy!
It's not particualarly adventuresome, but Las Vegas seems to be the answer for the next leg. The Las Vegas Motor Coach Resort (lasvegasmotorcoachresort.com) is a sister property to the Motorcoach Country Club in Indio so it should be very nice and there are numerous things we'd like to see around there....Hoover Dam, Lake Mead and a portion of the Grand Canyon.
We've also been in contact with the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity. As long as we're still hanging out waiting to chase the sun, we might as well do some good. Rick is planning to help on the build, I'm so not into that but plan to work in their retail shop. Plans still shaping up, but have made reservations for next week.
After that is still in flux, but here's what I'm thinking right now. Vegas to Sedona to Bryce Canyon to Salt Lake then back to Boulder to visit Rick's family.
All of this is so weather dependent and because of the rather dicey mountain crossing, we're even considering leaving Tor in Salt Lake or thereabouts and driving the car to Boulder. It's a moving target and will need to be regularly tweaked.
