Okay, I made it to San Diego and an awesome Thanksgiving repast. I kind of scooted out of the Northeast, stayed with friends in St. Louis and some mudcat friends in New Mexico. Enjoyed the St. Louis Arch at night, the desperado-made-famous town of Coffeyville, Kansas and the Better'n Nuthin' cafe in South Coffeyville, the National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, the Mokee-Dugway road right into and over a Mesa in South Utah and the incredble landscapes of the Natural Bridges National Monument.
I camped out at Glen Canyon which is rising again as a hiking wonderland as the water hits historical post-dam levels and shows every sign of not gaining its 'regular' level for years to come.
I went over a hogback road with steep dropoffs on both sides. I thought this was the 'million dollar' highway but it turns out it is 'another' million dollar highway.

So I camped out four nights, stayed with folks two nights, and moteled it one night.

This country is just fantastic, for people, places, and let's face it, wonderment. Thank y'all and may you all find pleasant passages to brighten your lives.

Photos available but why not get out there and take some of your own?
