Disclaimer: The Roys have ALWAYS loved camping. Whether it was YW camp, or family camp, we loved it ALL. And now, we have a new way to LOVE camping. Our little home away from home was the BEST!
 |
| We got our little guy and headed to Yosemite! Big trees, HUGE pinecones and gorgeous scenery. |
 |
| This is half dome. At this stop we ate breakfast and learned of our next adventure. |
 |
| You can't see people in this picture, but on the left side of half dome about half way between the front and the back they install a "cable path" that allows people without rock knowhow to climb to the top of half dome. You have to apply and get in a lottery system to get a reservation to go up but THAT IS OUR 2015 adventure! |
 |
| Our 2nd night we had the all american RV experience. We stayed in the parking lot at the St George Walmart! |
 |
| Because we stayed in Walmart we got an early start and were treated with visits from WILD TURKEYS on our way to the Kolob trail. |
 |
| Another wild turkey ready to backpack into the Kolob Arch. |
 |
| It was a gorgeous day. Our camp was #5 and about 5 miles into the canyon. We set up camp left our packs and then did another 7 miles exploring. SO FUN!!! |
 |
| This is the arch. You don't get to get very close but it's the 2nd largest free standing arch (short of 1st by 3 ft) in the WORLD! |
 |
| We met a couple of people (foreign of course) hiking out from the arch and they were disappointed in it. We thought it was magnificent! |
 |
| At our little camp ready to eat our MRE. Fajitas, so GOOD! (Check out Dad's bare little feet in flip flops no less) |
 |
| We hiked clear to that far wall. The pictures just can't show the beauty of this place. |
 |
| From Kolob (Zion) we drove to Bryce via a canyon behind Cedar City. What a great surprise to have 30 miles of turning leaves! It was breathtaking. We even passed lava fields with trees growing out of it. So amazing. |
 |
| We camped at Bryce. This is one place you gotta see! |
 |
| There are lots of trails that drop down into it. |
 |
| We chose a 5 mile one that not very many people attempt. So surreal. |
 |
| I named this "Doug rock" |
 |
| It was foggy when we started out which made the hike even cooler, in all respects! |
 |
| Then a thunderstorm came. Boy does thunder roll around those Hoodoos (that's what they call the rocks). We hid out in here for a while. But it just kept storming. |
 |
| When we got to the dry riverbed we had crossed earlier it was dry no more and we had to cross to get to civilization. So a few scary jumps and a find of a fallen tree and we made it back, wet but thrilled for the adventure! |
 |
| Next we headed to Lee's Ferry AZ. It was the old Mormon ferry built to get across the Colorado River. It rained from our adventure at Bryce, then all through our drive and most of the night. But we woke to see this beauty outside our dry little camper. |
 |
| Colorado River. |
 |
| We joked all along that we were glad we brought Kris and Billy with us on this trip. haha if you zoom in it really does kinda look like them. |
 |
| We hiked around the Sunset volcano national monument in AZ |
 |
| We forgot to take any pictures at Uncle Henry's. But had such an enjoyable visit with them. Thanks!!!!!! |
 |
| Conclusion: We liked our little home on wheels and will probably do it again!!!!! |

So jealous! That looks so fun! And I think that is only the second time in my life I have seen dad's feet! And I"m glad we could kind of come haha
For some reason I felt like I responded to this...but I have not!. How could I not already respond to such a great adventure!!! That looks absolutely amazing! What gorgeous pictures of such a beautiful place.
Also, I noticed instantly that dad was wearing flip flops in those pictures.
