Fall Trip Data & Summary

We wrapped up our 35-day fall trip and are home safe and sound. There were many good things on the trip:
- No issues with our Winnebago Travato - all systems performed as designed
- I'm lucky to have such a great travel partner (Elena) as we celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary during the trip
- I'm also lucky to have the best dog in the world (Bebop) - she is a great companion and traveler
- We had many great adventures and only a couple skinned knees to show for it

On the downside:
- We both got COVID at the start of week #4, after successfully avoiding it for 2 1/2 years. It was likely caught during a grocery store stop - one of our few indoor interactions with people. We just modified our schedule for reduced hiking intensity and kept on rolling.

- The Kanarra Falls hike was probably our favorite new adventure. Blog link

The upper falls on Kanarra Creek

- Little Wild Horse Canyon slot canyon hike was right up there in the new adventure ranking. Blog link (by Bebop)

- We've been to several sections of Antelope Canyon, so we visited a different section - Antelope Canyon X. Blog link (last section).

- And Canyon de Chelly was interesting - made more so by a fierce rainstorm and flood while we were in the canyon. Blog link.
