Month: October 2017

This week was another busy week on the road.

Our first destination was Capitol Reef National Park which we crossed in one day. We went on two short hikes; the first took us to a  narrow canyon. The rocks on each side were very high. It was incredibly beautiful but also made me feel quite claustrophobic!  The second led to a natural bridge: Hickmann bridge. Read more →

Après avoir souffert du froid à Yellowstone (rappel -8°C la nuit), nous voilà de retour dans des températures plus clémentes. C’est dans un camping dans la ville de Moab, que nous avons planté notre tente. Cette ville est situé tout près des 2 parcs nationaux d’Arches et de Canyonlands. Read more →

We arrived in Yellowstone NP after a 6 hour drive from Salt Lake City. We knew the weather would be cold, so we had bought extra clothes for us and the kids. We were planning to stay for four days plus a fifth day in Grand Teton NP. We checked in at Madison campground the last one still open this late in the season. The lady at the office told us that we were brave sleeping in a tent and when we looked around most people were in RV’s or trailers! Read more →

Lundi matin nous quittons Death Valley pour rejoindre Las Vegas en fin d’après-midi, au lendemain du terrible massacre.

Sur la route nous nous sommes arrêtés dans une station service qui était également “un brothel” (en français : un bordel !!!). Et oui, l’état du Nevada est le seul état américain qui autorise la prostitution… mais seulement dans quelques “counties”. Read more →

We left LA on Monday morning on a 3 hour drive to San Diego. On the way we stopped at San Juan Capistrano another mission founded in 1776. It is beautifully restored and has lovely gardens.

On arriving in San Diego we stopped to go to the beach in the upmarket neighbourhood of La Jolla. We walked down some steps onto La Jolla cove, a small beach with a large sea lion and seal population. Read more →
