EXPLORING ECUADOR – SERENDIPITY IN THE ANDES
We followed a steep, muddy ribbon – that no responsible map maker would include on his map for fear that someone might actually try to take it… More
PARQUE EL ANGEL – ECUADOR
PARQUE EL ANGEL
Exploring Parque El Angel in Ecuadors high country, we found a landscape more befitting the imagination of Doctor Seuss than what we had imagined we would find in the Andes. A forest of hundreds of thousands of the same plant that none of us had seen before. And those leaves… as soft as a rabbits ears!

Goin’ South
CACTUCSON
We drove south from Havasu through Parker and into Phoenix for a couple of days. Visited our friends at Bivouac Trailer… where we got a couple of quick upgrades (it’s a great company and we’re still VERY happy with our purchase), and then we headed down to Tucson… more
