July 26 th …………I’ve decided to stay here in Utah another 3 days so I’m back in the Library and posting some new photos and videos, mostly from Pioneer Days. Monticello is a small town I believe officially under 2000 but it supports a large area around it. I enjoyed the few classic cars they had in the parade, especially the Corvair. My 1 st car was a 1961 Corvair hardtop and I rebuilt much of the engine on it. I’m also posting a video tour of my Utah campsite as well as an interior tour of my Rpod camper, a.k.a. Apartment on wheels/Tiny House/maintenance nightmare. The inside tour doesn’t look too bad since I did clean up the clutter LOL. If you hear of anyone thinking of buying an Rpod tell them to reconsider and investigate the experience of owners. I’m also including a video from my dash camera it starts shortly after I get to pavement from my campsite and continues down the mountain toward Monticello. It gives you an idea of the elevation of the mountains above the flat farmland...

Monday July 11 th . Hello from Colorado!!!!!!!! It’s been about a month since I left Santa Fe and you would think I’d keep notes for the Blog but I’ve procrastinated and have nothing to show but random thoughts so here I am putting down my thoughts and experiences. I’m in my campsite and sitting in my Gazebo at Target Tree campground about 25 miles west of Durango, Colorado. I’m getting a cool breeze and an occasional shower thanks to the Southwest monsoon which has returned today. I’ll get back to the present in a bit but let me catch up on what I’ve done and seen in the last month. From Santa Fe I went to an Army Corp of Engineers campground on Lake Abiquiu in northern New Mexico for 9 days. It’s a nice campground with stunning scenery but it is open and dry and hot and dusty and the wind blows like crazy and it’s in the middle of nowhere! One gas station with a grocery store for 30 miles. Good prices though $6 a nite no hook...
