Rocking in Colorado

Black Canyon of The Gunnison was the next major stop in Colorado. From Ouray, through the functional Montrose, getting to the canyon was a sight to behold. It's a very different canyon, primarily due to the age of the rock it's formed of, much older than Canyonlands etc. Laid down between 1.4 and 1.8 billion… Continue reading Rocking in Colorado

Clicking our Heals

Starting to head back to the big ticket places in Northern Arizona, Utah and Colorado for spring, we were in all kinds of places.

Adopting the "How do… Continue reading How do you eat an elephant?

Daft in Delft, Giddy in Gouda

We don't have anything against Germany but we didn't have enough time to stay longer than an overnight as we were heading towards Hollands Hook. Primarily a autobahn drive we had the pleasure of the "woosh-mobiles" again, more or less flying past us at ridiculous speeds, for company. It got us talking about how we… Continue reading Daft in Delft, Giddy in Gouda
