Roadtrip -I'm so excited!!!!!!!
 
Wheeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We're off as soon as we can get the car packed and grab a couple of hours kip. Just brought home a brand spanking new roofbox so the family can actually have a bit of legroom on this, our longest trip so far, to the Grand Canyon and Salt Lake City.

The projected first stop is St Louis, MO, where we are hoping to arrive in time to catch the brewery tour. THE brewery ;). We're headed towards Santa Fe before the GC, then hopefully we'll have time and energy to do a drive-by of the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas, before heading north through the breathtaking national parks to SLC. No we're not Mormon, just curious :D

Did I mention being excited? three weeks :D

Byeeee :D :D :D

:D We're coming back through Nebraska. Last time I reached a steady 110 on one stretch, but we didn't have the roofbox then. Maybe this time we'll achieve lift off.......
Not taking no chances in the tourist areas, though..... :headshake

Utah has some great parks, Bryce Canyon is my favorite, I think. Max scenery for minimum walking and time. There are several other great parks.

Yeah, Zion is worth seeing...

Sounds like you guys are in for a great trip. Have fun, recharge your batteries, and don't forget some pictures.

Oh, and try to perk up a bit, monster. :p

Bruce, did you take that picture? That's some good color saturation.

Why dig out my pictures when Google Images will give me one with a couple of clicks?

We're still not there yet! we left much later than hoped (but not than realistically imagined) and are staying an hour east in Vandalia. We plan to be at the Budweiser tour gates when it opens at 11:30 tomorrow! Then onwards to Oklahoma
