Bryce Canyon was by far one of the most spectacula Bryce Canyon was by far one of the most spectacular sights I've ever seen. These photos don't even come close to how magical the peaks of this canyon are and for the 10th day in a row we had our standard 5:00 monsoon storm roll through. #brycecanyon #redrocks #exploremore #exploreaz

We've spent the past few days exploring the South We've spent the past few days exploring the South rim of the Grand Canyon, Sunset Crater, Horseshoe bend and a handful of random spots along the way. The scale of this place and sheer exposure is mind blowing. We tried to hike the south rim from Hermits Rest back to the Grand Canyon village but got evacuated due to a lightning storm that ending up taking out all the power from the Grand Canyon all the way to Flagstaff. This forced us to drink through most of our beer reserves for the trip (2nd to last pic). We managed to hike about 7 of the 10 miles. Dinner that night consisted of Hawaiian bread with jerky and bbq chips because everything was closed due to not having power. The general store looked like a zombie apocalypse was going on. Watched the sunset over the canyon at Hopi point. Time lapse to come soon. Took a boat ride down a portion of the Colorado River that started at the Glenn Canyon Dam in Page, AZ and took out at Lees Ferry. Checked out #horeshoebend from above as well as below. 1st and 2nd pic. I've seen this spot hundreds of times in pictures but never in person until now. Onward we go to the next adventure! And yes, it's hot as balls here. #grandcanyon #glenncanyon #southrimgrandcanyon #exploremore #hotasballs #hopipointgrandcanyon #leesferry

Go play in the woods! I built a new aluminum truc Go play in the woods! I built a new aluminum truck topper frame thingy to hold the rooftop tent and still be able to pull the fiberglass truck topper from underneath. So far so good but my aluminum welding skills aren't the best so we'll see how it goes. Thanks @smokymountainjetboatsnick_ for the use of the shop and the sweet sweet pile of scrap aluminum. #exploremore #tundraoverland #cvttents #aluminumwelding #rooftoptent #burnsvillenc
