Matt's New Mexico (Formerly Airstream) Adventure

[Matt]

There’s a 100 mile road at the bottom of the canyons that you need a 4WD or AWD to travel.  It takes a few days to drive and you can camp along the way.  We’re planning to come back to do that with the kids.

Wow that place is so awesome. It kind of reminds me of Drumhellar in Alberta. I'm so jelly.

[Matt]

If only the photos could really capture how crazy the views are.  We’re having an awesome time.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

That's great. I hope you continue to do so

That sound uber-fun….

[Matt]

More Canyonlands today…

Amazing views. That landscape is truly alien to what we have here in Missouri and I can’t wait to take the family someday. Love how full the kid’s vests are with patches!  What a gift you guys have given them.

[Matt]

They hate those vests now.  They weigh a ton and they’re constantly getting stabbed by the pins but we make them put them on every time they get a new one.

@Matt holy f*ck, awesome pictures! Looks remarkably like Gosport

@Matt:

My barber apprenticeship is going really well.  I cut Imogene’s hair yesterday…

Imogene is awesome. That is all.

[Matt]

Thanks @neph93!  I’ll be sure to pass that along.

@AdamJ thats exactly what I was thinking.  You have to squint really hard but yeah, totally.

[Matt]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone by the way.

I've gotta go to southern Utah. We periodically visit up around SLC, but haven't really explored the rest of the state. These pics make me realize that's been a mistake.

[Matt]

Totally worth the trip.  We won’t get to it all this time so we’ll be back.  We’re also planning a Kanab trip for Zion and Bryce Canyon. North Rim of the Grand Canyon isn’t that far either.

Parental duty dictates you find every excuse to make them wear the vests now [emoji23]. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[Matt]

I think they’re great.  The rangers are always like “Holy shit!” when they roll up.

[Chris]

North Rim is fantastic; highly recommended.

[Matt]

Tried to do Arches again today but we got there too late.  We stumbled upon this cool recreation area along the Colorado River though…

[Matt]

It’s great to be home.  We really missed the dog and we’re thrilled to see her.  TG dinner was very nice.  We ate at a place on the side of a large mesa called Sunset Grille.  I would have taken more photos but it was crazy busy and the service was pretty inattentive. All I got was this…

Here are some internet shots for reference…

We stopped in Colorado on the way back for some “souvenirs”.  Took advantage of that Black Friday action and supported a small business!

There aren’t really Xmas tree places here so people just go out into the National Forests and cut one down.  We’ll do that next weekend.
