Posted on April 22, 2016 by TC 2 Comments

We are a bit over one month into our Road Trip. Here are some things I’ve learned First, I am hella privileged. This trip is made easier and indeed possible by these privileges. I’m healthy. My partner is healthy. We are both white. I am traveling with a man, who, by his mere presence makes […]... Read More

Santa Fe to the A’s in Texas

Posted on April 20, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC 3 Comments

We left Santa Fe on Monday, arriving in Austin Wednesday afternoon, a trip of 668 miles in three days. We stopped at Amarillo, lunched in Lubbock, stopped at Abilene (which I now know how to spell, since I had to look up lodgings online), then on to Austin, where will stay for a bit. I […]...

Santa Fe

Ahhhhh, back in the homeland. I grew up in Denver, and the even though there’s 400 miles between here and there, the high desert and the culture is so very familiar. Santa Fe has it’s own charm, but I find myself going, “Oh, yeah, I remember this,” over and over and over. Habits given up […]... Read More

Driving along the road to the first outlook, I wondered if we were on the right road. The landscape to the left and right of the road looked the same — low level sagebrush. Yet when we pulled into the first overlook: BAM! The Canyon is at the center of the Navaho Nation, physically and […]... Read More

Sunset Crater and Navaho Country

After the hot Mesa weather we woke up to: snow. WTF? We packed up and headed out. Earl Ruby told us about Sunset Crater, which is north of Flagstaff and since we were headed northeast to Canyon de Chelly (pronounced Canyon de Shay), we dropped by for a look. Boy, are we glad we did. […]... Read More

Why Yes, it is Grand

Posted on April 1, 2016June 4, 2016 by TC 2 Comments

I’ve been wanting to see the Grand Canyon for years and years. I even lived in Phoenix for 11 months back in the ’80s and never made it that far north. I was not earning much money and it’s an 8 hour round trip. Also, there was no one to share it with. But […]... Read More
