    When this series of videos is finally completed, most folks will rightfully have 20 questions about Caravaning to ask! I would suggest you call the Wagon Master's wife Pat Poll at 616-450-7078 or email her at kobelpoll@yahoo.com This will allow you both to talk about the trip you just watched,....... which THEY were also on! You can't possibly get better answers to your questions than this! See you on the road!

    We were in Moab before we ran into you at Ruby’s Inn Campground in Bryce Canyon City. We visited Arches twice and Canyonlands once. Beautiful. In Bryce Canyon, Barbara made me hike the Navajo / Queens Garden loop. It was listed as a moderately strenuous hike, and I would agree. Like Marc, I have a bad back, but so does Barbara, so I couldn’t complain about how painful the hike was.

    Thanks for the great views.. We just finished our mighty 5 loop. Fortunately, it was later in season and the crowds were reasonable at Canyonlands and Arches.

    We made that very same trip through Utah two years ago and I'm ready to go back and do it again.
    1) Was that the Scenic Highway 12 that you took from Torry to Moab?
    2) What campground did you stay at while visiting Arches and Canyonland?
    I think driving the Shaffer Trail with my F-150 was the highlight of my trip :-) I love the video as I only had the opportunity to just take photos and make a video slide show afterwards. Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your tour. I hope you were able to do Capitol Reef and stop by the Gifford House for some pies ;-)

    • @OurJourneyInMyles
      @OurJourneyInMyles  2 роки тому +1

      The Shafer Trail in an F150 has to be insanely scary! That machine is much larger. The Highway 12 drive from Bryce to Torrey is being worked on now. The drive in this video was from Torrey to Moab. I hope you understand that we are trying to respect some aspects of Adventure Caravans "secret sauce" in packaging the best places, best price and best side trips for their tours. We can tell you that starting in a great spot like St. George allowed us to get into position 3 days early to see all sorts of things. And the tour "ending city" was AWESOME enough for us to stay an additional 2 days.

    • @MonacoMike
      @MonacoMike 2 роки тому

      @@OurJourneyInMyles Understand. We checked out all the parks while we were there but didn't recognize the one you stayed at. For Arches,Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands we stayed at the Portal RV Resort which is nice if you stay in the private owners side. For Capitol Reef we had to stay at the Freemont River RV Park in Loa because everything else in the area was booked up. The WillowWind RV Park in Hurricane is a nice park and close to Zion. We had the same situation for Bryce in that everything was booked up so we had to stay at the Red Canyon RV Park in Panguitch. Lesson learned is that you have to reserve sites 6+ months out in order to get into the nicer campgrounds. Utah is an awesome place to visit. Glad you were able to visit all the National Parks there and some of the State Parks. BTW, KOLOB Canyon is part of Zion and right off of I-15 on the way south to ZION and much less crowded.
