Our Last Travel Day

Dinosaur National Monument, Jensen, Utah

We traveled from Salt Lake City, Utah to Jensen, Utah yesterday, our last "Travel Day" until October 18, 2025.

Melanie begins work tomorrow as a Seasonal Interpretive Ranger for Dinosaur National Monument.   This will be our longest time in place since we began full time travel.  I'm sure we'll spend some time traveling around exploring and camping in Utah and Colorado as our season progresses.

Another difference for us is housing provided by NPS. We've pretty much completed a move from Miranda into a one bedroom apartment as of today.

We ran errands today, picking up groceries and a few items we needed to make things a bit more livable. The apartment is clean, with new appliances.  I cleaned the nice windows we have facing North and South.  We have communal laundry and a fire pit.

Our animal neighbors include magpies, white tailed prairie dogs, robins, osprey, great blue herons, mountain lions, big horn sheep, gopher snakes, and black bear.   We'll post photos as we catch them on camera.

We've got lots of hiking, river rafting, camping and learning to do.  We both agree the season's gonna be great.  Watch this space.
