Small world. We were right next to the group site under the big rock overhang. Slept under the stars, perfect weather!
Taos NM, on our way to the San Juan's
That perfect window where it's quiet and there's still a little too much snow... So you get to explore in peace

Howling wind made the fishing a no go but at least the drive made up for it
We’ve been burning through the miles, 850 of them today. Loves truck stops have become a necessary evil for us, the convenience and proximity to the interstate is hard to pass up. Shore power means air conditioning and since we are east coast time zone 4 am departure times are totally doable.
We’re a short 9ish hour drive from the North Rim, I wonder what our odds are of snagging one of the killer spots there if our arrival time is 3pm.

OMG 850 miles in 1 day! We stick to 350 give or take. YOU DA MAN!
Every spring I pay $150-160 CAD for half a cord of firewood delivered to my door, and that's what we use whenever we go camping. Super convenient, economical, and saves a lot of headache having to find/cut/store/transport firewood on the way to camp.
The challenge is that we only have enough room on the travel trailer hitch basket to bring firewood for about 3 days (or 4 if we really stretch it, which cuts down on the fun). This year we'll be spending two separate week-long periods in provincial parks, and from my own experience, ~3 days of firewood at one of these parks will easily run me $100. So a few weeks ago I picked up this Temu-special roof basket for $160 CAD shipped to my door. I figure I can get 4 days of firewood in it, which means it'll pay for itself in no time at all.
Years ago I built a hoist in my garage to get the RTT off the LX, and it has proven to be invaluable countless times since. Today I hung the basket on the hoist and loaded it up at waist height, then raised it to the ceiling, drove under it, and lowered it on the LX for a clearance test coming out of the garage. Easy peasy, and I've got plenty more room for plenty more firewood. Excellent.
Long live garage hoists!

Installed E&E skids, rattle canned tow hooks, removed left and right plastic under tray pieces.
Side note good thing I took the tow hooks out cause they were full of corrosion. Cleaned up the threads and bolts just as a safe measure.

From my house to Moab is almost exactly 350 miles, which is as much as I want to do in a day. And that’s without towing a trailer. But there are a few canyons to negotiate.OMG 850 miles in 1 day! We stick to 350 give or take. YOU DA MAN!
In my younger day, our 80 series could make it to Las Vegas in one long day if we kept it floored, with four kids in the back. Santa Maria at my parent’s the next day. Crazy how well that LC ran at full throttle through Utah and Nevada. Can’t remember the year, but it was the first year for that model.
