It's been 10 years since I started my blog with "Choosing a Car to Buy in Japan".

That was followed the same day by "Essentials for a First-Time Parent", and then another 10 years and 2,327 additional articles (not counting this one 😉) containing 18,133 photos, as well as other little additions such as the interactive map of blog photos and the sporadically-maintained prettiest-photos photostream.

Dinner at Der Dutchman was a fantastic followup.

Tomorrow we return the RV and head to the airport.

After arriving in Grand Junction Colorado and overnighting at the exceedingly clean and reasonable Junction West RV Park, we made our way farther east toward Denver...

Last night we overnighted at the overpriced and under-featured Dakota Ridge RV Park during a fierce windstorm that knocked the power out to the whole area. Very pleasant weather this morning to push farther east, though we haven't decided yet whether to go via I-80 or I-70...

After visiting Bryce Canyon National Park yesterday mostly by car, today we went back for a short hike.

Here's a bonus wigglegram:
