Day 158 – We woke up at 7 a.m.; 34 degrees and mostly cloudy, a real chill in the air. We left beautiful Goosenecks State Park and drove back to Route 163 the way we came in. It was 8:55 and it was raining lightly. Utah was totally amazing and we only covered a very small section. Gotta come back, and soon!

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, EVERYONE!
Day 157 – Time sure flies; one year ago today, on Valentine’s Day, we left for our first post-retirement RV trip. Been having a blast ever since. Fast forward to now – this morning at 7 a.m. when Rob got up, it was 33 degrees and the sky was completely overcast. I got up a little before 8:00, still totally cloudy. Glad we got those pictures yesterday when there was sunlight! We’d originally thought about doing the 17-mile Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park drive today and then going up to the Valley of the Gods and doing that drive, but now with all these clouds, and the forecasted wind, we’ll probably sit around the campsite. It’s not like there’s nothing to see right here!
WHAT DO MONUMENTS & GOOSENECKS HAVE IN COMMON?
Day 156 – We got up a little after 7 a.m., still raining, 36 degrees. We checked the weather forecast for southeastern Utah & it looked okay for us to travel up there to Monument Valley. A couple of weeks ago when at the Grand Canyon, we’d heard from a Chinese woman who was taking her visiting relatives around to see the sites, that Monument Valley was incredible. We are glad we’re able to go there. It could be cloudy today & tomorrow, but at least it shouldn’t be snowing.
