Great story. I will be checking back to continue reading. Keep up the great adventure and be safe.

Thanks! We for another 7 days to go packed with places to see!

Due to non existent cell for the last 2-3 days I haven't posted any updated. Very odd when AT&T insured me that they cover 97% of states. I must have spent about 10 days in that 3%...weird eh?!

Drove down the Vegas strip just because...been here before but never actually drove it

Got to st George for a night of sleep in a hotel and a hot shower.
Next day we were off to Zion national Park!
What a place! One could spend at least a few days here.
We just had time for a drive around and a 7-8mile hike

The same night we arrived at Grand Canyon north rim. The directions received from any staff here were horrible which caused some frustration to already a long but still good day.
We ended up breaking out a camp in the middle of the forest for free after getting some hidden gems tips from local sheriff.
Camped right on the edge of canyon. Marble view point to be exact.

Exactly what we woke up to in the tent

The next day we went on a little walk to explore the forest and found tons and tons of these awesome to fry mushrooms. Don't know the name in English but these are widely used and picked in Russia

Here are some pics along the way:

Just outside of the bluff city we came across this when the temperature went from +40 to +15 in a matter of minutes and we got dumped with 6-8" of heavy hail!

Gotta love a good ol' road trip.

This past January I drove down to Florida and then west to Vegas. First time in Las Vegas and I got to drive the strip......stayed at the Wynn too!

I gotta admit, Vegas isn't for me, but just seeing the Hoover damn was worth the trip west for me!

The next day consisted of bouncing around Moab, Utah.
Arches national park hiking and a bit of off roading through the desert

This actually competes our journey. We are off to go back home as soon as possible. We had to cut out all the camping in yellow stone national park due to very cold weather and some time restrictions.
A few more photos on the way home.
1800kms to go home.
