We have spent them in (1) Whidbey Island, WA, (2) Everglades National Park, FL, (3) Big Bend National Park, TX, (4) the Mojave National Preserve, CA, (5) KOFA Wildlife Preserve, AZ, and (6) Valley of the Gods, UT.
Here is another shot of our site in Valley of the Gods, where we spent Thanksgiving this year:
We might be hard to see, but we are at the bottom left of the monument in the center.
Our Thanksgiving:
Vicky somehow managed to hide a bottle of wine in the camper to give me for Thanksgiving:
The weather was so warm that we could eat outside. Vicky made a scrumptious meal:
We danced:
Then we just sat. We had something better than football games to look at:
A day later we left, out of food, propane, water, and room for garbage. We are heading to a more southern location and to a lower elevation. We can feel the colder weather approaching, so a lower elevation will help a lot.
We also are looking forward to taking our first showers in seven weeks where the water comes out of the wall.
We have hiked about 160 miles this year in Bears Ears National Monument, 75 of them in the Valley of the Gods area. We love it here.
Here is a map of our hikes in Valley of the Gods. The black trails are what we did in 2015, and the red trails are this year (when we say "trails" we don't mean established hiking trails---there aren't any here; instead we mean the trails we made):
