LEAVING HOME

Just getting ready to head out on a 5 week ramble to the US Four Corners region.  This is where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona meet at one spot.  Our first major destination will be Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico, followed by many sites we visited 20 years ago with Robin in northern Arizona, southern Utah and the mountains of Colorado.  Who knows where else?

In June 2013,  at 40* C and after a long 7 mile climb up a summit of 4000 ft our trusty Westphalia just couldn't make it!  All the bells and whistles were protesting so after a 2 day drive south to the Oregon/California border we decided to head back home, knowing that there were higher climbs ahead had we continued.  That was last year and now, after a new engine in Westie, we are going to try again.
