Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

After months, weeks and days of preparation we left this morning at 7:15 am for our Alaska adventure.  First, we have to get north however, to the Canadian border, crossing Utah, Idaho and Montana.
We had a few shakedown issues to start; getting the Go Pro to record, an oil overheating while climbing a hill and the break light indicator not coming on.  Mike figured them all out and we were sailing along about 55 to 65 mph for most of the day.  He’s one tired guy after fighting the wind through Flagstaff and Kanab.

Panguitch KOA, Utah

We stopped at Glen Canyon Dam for lunch and a walk to stretch our legs then went on into Utah.  We checked out a couple of campgrounds and settled on a KOA in Panguitch, Utah.  I tried out running the crock pot off the inverter while we were driving and we had creamy chicken and broccoli noodles that smelled wonderful!  Tomorrow I’d like to check out the town and maybe a hike before a short day to a campground south of Salt Lake City.  

It's 8:30 here, an hour behind Arizona.  Mike's watching TV show recordings with his headset and I'm going to curl up with a book.  Til next time!
