Giving thanks... and warmth




Here we are another turkey-day gone and another successful adventure. After deciding to not go to New Mexico because of a southern storm, we ended up in the Needles district of Canyonlands NP just below Moab. As you can see, maybe we still went too far south!! Yup, woke up on friday am with 3" of fresh snow and snowing, 20 deg. After sitting in the Van all morning we ventured out at 1p when the snow slowed. Walked for about 3 hours in the fresh snow and solitude of the Park!! Beautiful!! Got a nice sunset in the now clear (and COLD) sky. Off to bed and a low of 10 deg overnight. EVERYTHING in the van froze (except us!!). Nice sunny day to look around, then drive the van home...after 30 minutes to defrost the INSIDE of the windows! Ah well, overall we were VERY comfortable in all the down we brought, plus the nice plush setting of the van, got lots of reading done!! Till the next trip!!!
