Travels With Mabel

Well I am now in Arizona for the big game - but I can't find anyone to tailgate with

the stadium is just over that ridge I think.

14 miles out of Freedonia and settling in for a night of sports. Checked the sports schedule and it appears to be basically second tier games. oh well.
Will be here for a while going up to Zion, Bryce, and some other stuff up by Kanab, Utah. Stayed out here at the RV park on the Piaute Indian reservation because I am a cheap bastard. Cost per day is $22 - full hook up and internet.

Here is a shot coming into Kanab, Utah - the color of the hills change drastically coming into this area

@swaye the main offices for the tribe[/s] the Paiutes Nation are just a short walk away, I am going to show them your comment - Northern Virginia? Watch out for any strange looking people on horseback circling in on your trailer park.
 
Lots of things to see around Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. I have been through this area a couple of times and did it as fast as possible. Boy was that a dumb way to travel, I guess now that I am old I finally am stopping to smell the roses. Careful - some of these roses have big - damn big - thorns. Really think this area is beautiful - but at the same time it isn't 100 degrees

During the Stanford game you can smoke weed with Race Bannon and pass out on the Caesar couch
 
Get back on the 15 and head to Temecula

Cali is not on the list of places to visit. I worked there many moons ago (sorry @swaye) and did not pay taxes for the entire year. Friends of mine got nailed and Washington garnished the $$$ for Cali. I never got contacted - and am terrified of getting a ticket and being found out. I have snuck in-n-out a couple of times.
 
Went to the Northern Rim of the Grand Canyon, really nice drive elevation up at 9K so a 4K climb and then all of a sudden the canyon is 50 feet to the side of the road. Jaw dropping. Bad news is the park is closed for winter Dec 1- thru Feb 28 - so why was it closed now?

Not able to do much of anything as I can't do hardly any walking due to bum knee, so gentle walking and no climbing. Had dog with us and no dogs allowed. Lodge and Saloon closed.
still impressive - colors and all that are amazing

The other one that is interesting - some Germans are traveling in two rigs and pulled in last night. This thing is a VW - VW thing?
