We revisited some of our favorite parks in Utah: Arches, and Cedar Breaks, and saw the new-to-us parks: Hovenweep Nat’l Monument, Natural Bridges, and the Needles District of Canyonlands. We also visited Corona Arch, on BLM land outside of Moab.

We continued to work our way west and south, from Cheyenne, Wyoming, down poorly maintained I-25 in Colorado, to northern New Mexico and eastern Arizona.

In Missouri, we stayed at Echo Bluff State Park and explored the surrounding area.

In Kentucky, we first stayed near Mammoth Cave National Park.

We didn’t stay long in Florida, because we didn’t want to miss the spring…

3 1/2 months. That’s how long it took…
