Monument Valley, Canyon de Chelly, The Carlsbad Caverns & a hot tub in the desert
March 5, 2012Ok. We’re playing catch up once again, almost a month since we last posted anything, down to a combination of laziness, poor RV campsite internet connections and being too busy having fun.
Our last post finished off our time at the Grand Canyon, about half way through our tall friend Col’s time with us on the road. After leaving the Grand Canyon we headed back on the road to visit stunning Monument Valley. Possibly one of the most amazing drives we had taken (and there have been a few!) we snaked our way through the mountains and past the Hoover Damn (Epic by the way!) and desert, arriving in the valley just before a beautiful sunset.

Where are we?
Note how Col is the same height as the bridge over the Canyon.

YEAH!

Beautiful Monument Valley
Ben is such a poser
This seems to be the pose of the trip

Beautiful – Kudos to Tam for getting the right setting on the camera!
Who cares about Monument Valley when there’s Facebooking to be done!
That night, after I managed to surgically remove Col and Tam from Facebook, we decided that given how stunning Monument Valley was at Sunset, we would make the effort and get up in early enough to drive back to it and see the sun rise the next morning. We set our alarms for 5.30am (it was like Africa all over again!) and headed to bed.
We managed to drag ourselves out of bed the next morning, on time believe it or not – but having kept the curtains of the RV drawn we hadn’t realised the slight change in weather… when we finally did open the curtains, this is what we woke up to.
Good Morning!!
That’s Monument Valley behind Ben, zero visibility, well worth the early morning.
Some clouds rubbed off on Col whilst he was walking around outside.
This is the face of a man who knows exactly what he’s doing.

Don’t look down.. wait, too late.

After we had finished clowning around at the top of big Canyons in the snow, we packed up the RV and headed for New Mexico, the site of our next campground just between Roswell and Carlsbad.. we did stop off at Roswel briefly to see about some alien burgers, but none of us had the guts to ask the locals where we might find alien based tourist attractions.. so we quickly left. We camped just outside of Carlsbad, planning to head to the Carlsbad Caverns the following day. That evening, despite the -1 degrees temperature outside we donned our swimming trunks and grabbed our towels and made our way over to the outdoor hot tub. True Brits.

The next day we made it to the Carlsbad Caverns, the Carlsbad Caverns includes the third largest underground chamber in North America and the seventh largest in the world, it is 750ft below the surface of the ground. It took us almost 2 hours to hike down the 2 miles to the cavern, entitled “the big room”. This was one of the most obscure places i’ve ever been, like being underwater without the water.

That afternoon we got back onto the road, leaving the Carlsbad Caverns at about 4pm, we plugged our next destination into the Sat Nav.. San Antonio, Texas. “You have 534 miles until you reach your destination”. It was a long drive.
Love love love. Some great pictures here guys. Cxxx

So, the other day I faced a hot water pipe frozen, and let me tell you, it was quite the surprise! But, good news—I managed to thaw it out without any major issues. Here’s what worked for me: first, I located the frozen section by feeling for the cold spots along the pipe. Then, I used a hairdryer set on low heat to slowly thaw the ice. It took some patience, but it did the trick! Remember, avoiding this in the future means insulating the pipes.
