Today we took a drive up to the north rim of the black canyon, and it was an amazing drive. We stopped at Hermits rest, which overlooked a deep green river way down below. We were going to continue to the north rim, but I realised I had left my jandals at Hermits rest, so we had to go back down to get them. Then we decided to keep on driving back down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We stopped in Gunnison, a reasonable sized town, and got a few supplies. I saw there was an oil change place there, so we drove up and nobody was there. So Rodger got some new oil. We also managed to get a small powerstation to power our Starlink mini, so now we can have satellite internet where there is none (there are many places in the USA where there is no internet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then we went to the library, as I needed to get my video uploaded. By the time we\u2019d finished it was time to find somewhere to sleep. There was nowhere decent in Gunnison,so we drove on, over a steep mountain pass over Monarch mountain. It was 11300 feet at the peak where we stopped to take a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We saw about 3 or 4 deer on the side of the road, but thankfully they stayed in their place. It was almost dark by the time we stopped at a visitor centre which allowed overnight parking. There were two other vans camping here, so we figured it was ok.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
