A surprise at McWay Falls

We left Monterey to head towards Pismo Beach in order to camp 1 night. We didn’t want to drive the 6-7 hours to LA, so we thought it would be a good idea to split the journey into two parts.

Phoenix, Arizona

Our first and only full day in Phoenix was really wonderful. It’s a relatively large city, but not densely populated. It almost feels as if there aren’t enough people here, given how big theMeer informatie
