April 25, 2022 Just as it started to get a bit too hot in Marble Canyon, we moved up to Mount Carmel, Utah so we could explore a new area and meet up with some friends staying in Kanab. Though Marble Canyon was beautiful, our location had frequent high winds! One of the last days we were there, I made my fabulous rock art before we left on an open patch of sand next to our campsite. The rocks here are so sharp and rough that my fingerprint no longer unlocked my passwords on my MacBook for a few days afterward! I also took…

April 4, 2022 This week we had more adventures in and around Holbrook, AZ. We got some chores done and were productive with our artistry of making videos and taking photos. I’ll tell the story of the week in the order it happened for you so you can follow along in our adventures. First, we had to bring our truck in for servicing. We did this in a nice little town south of here called Snowflake. We were waiting in their waiting room for a bit when a technician who seemed to be in charge told us that he follows us on YouTube.…
