Two Months and Still Going

We left two months ago today. We have traveled 5200 miles. We haven't even gotten to when we usually leave, the end of Nov.  We have been to 12  National parks and several National Monuments.

The National Parks we have been to are, in order:
Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado
The Arches, Moab, Utah
Island in the Sky, Canyonlands, Moab, Utah
The Needles, Canyonlands, Moab, Utah
Bryce Canyon, Utah
Zion, Utah
Zion/Kolab, Utah
North Rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ
Monument Valley, Utah
Mesa Verde, CO.
South Rim of the Grand Canyon, AZ
Skywalk, West Entrance to the Grand Canyon, AZ

National Monuments we have been to:
Cedar Breaks, Utah
Four Corners, Utah, AZ, New Mexico and Colorado

State Parks:
Dead Horse, Moab, Utah
Most of our traveling so far has been to places that get too cold or snowy in the winter. We have been hustling to keep ahead of the weather. Three parks we were at have already closed. Now that we are headed to central AZ, we will be staying longer at each place to relax.

Because we left so early, we're not sure if we will be staying out until we usually get home, the beginning of May. That will be 8 months. Denny thinks that might be too long for him. Might be going home a little early, but it is still raining in WA. Don't like the rain and cold. Such a decision to make. We'll see.
