Twenty Five Zion

 


"We found love right where we are"

As we continue to post a few highlight updates from our adventures over the last few years I could not leave out this epic adventure to Zion National Park. The year was 2021 the month was September and Tanya and I were celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary. This special day called for a special trip so we made campground reservations and loaded up the "Ghost Ship" and hit the road. If you don't know what the "Ghost Ship" is well it's our trusty 1994 Ford Custom Van. We have owned her for 22 years and she continues safely transport us a year after year.

So we set out before dawn; its roughly a 7 hour drive to Zion National Park, Utah USA. We arrived before noon checked into the South Campground which is just inside the park. And let the adventure begin.

You say No Showers in the campground!
Tanya says No Worries I can fix that😁


Zion what a beautiful place to see truly a wonder of the world and to spend our Anniversary there just created memory's we soon won't forget. We hope our adventures inspire you to create your own. Man has created a few beautiful places and cities; "I guess" said with a bit of sarcasm. But in the creation department nature is UNDEFEATED.  Get out there see it, feel it, taste it, hike it, bike it, LOVE IT!

It's Been a Long Time (Part 2)



Memories- Maroon 5

As we continue posting pictures which are essentially memories and moments, well emotions are often triggered. Essentially life is a collection of these moments; when you truly think about it there is no past and no future only this present moment. Try to make the best of the present, cause the past is gone and the future is not promised.  In the words of my favorite musician the late Bob Marley " The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for".
