Reservations about reservations...and the reservation...

Here is our general route for the UT-AZ-NM journey

Yesterday, I got on the internet and located some RV parks in the area of Kanab, UT and Moab, UT, the two towns that will be the hubs for our exploration of the five national parks we hope to visit on our journey. After several hours of researching facilities, reviews, and prices, I got on the phone and made reservations at the Hitch-n-Post RV park in Kanab and at Moab Village RV park.

In between these two parks, we will need to find places to stay near Flagstaff/Sedona, Santa Fe, and Durango, CO. We also are in a quandary about where to stay between Flagstaff and Santa Fe. Along I-40 is the petrified forest, and we may try to visit that park and find an RV park nearby, but we also recently met a young man who was visiting our church. Ray works at the Sun Valley Indian School in Holbrook, AZ. He invited us to stop and visit the school as we pass by. He even promised we could dry camp in the adjacent church parking lot. It's the decisions that get to be tedious in this process!

Other than the two reservations we have, we are going to try to be pretty unstructured about our travels, so as not to be boxed in by a schedule we have to keep. The whole idea for this vacation is to get away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, see the countryside and be free to explore. We are planning to leave 2 weeks from today, so time is getting short and there is lots to do. In fact I had better get busy and do some of it!
