Tips for visiting Zion National Park, Utah

June 17, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

Zion National Park is a pretty spectacular national park in Utah, with towering sheer cliff faces, narrow slot canyons, and a beautiful river. It’s so spectacular that a few million people visit each year, which means after May and through the summer, the park can be pretty crowded. By midmorning, many of the pull offs […]

Off-Road Driving Through Canyonlands National Park, Utah

June 16, 2016 by Mark Kelley Leave a Comment

We visited Canyonlands last in our travels through the Big 5 national parks in Utah (Bryce Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands).

Bike around Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

June 15, 2016 by Mark Kelley 1 Comment

As I’ve said many times now, bicycles are a great way to escape the crowds at national parks, and this proved true yet again at Mesa Verde National Park. We visited Mesa Verde on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The park was slammed with visitors. We waited half an hour in a long line […]

I Got a Speeding Ticket

June 1, 2016 by Mark Kelley 2 Comments

I once wrote that I lived in the slow lane when driving the Airstream. That’s still true. But it turns out that without the trailer, I’m still the aggressive driver I always was. After a little over 11,000 miles driving America’s highways, I got a speeding ticket. I got nabbed crossing the border in Colorado […]
