  • Kanab, UT

    May 6 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    The soundtrack to our journey today has been Desert Discs. Like Desert Island Discs, only it takes place in a desert when you're in a minibus 🚐. Everyone selected some songs for us to listen to. A good way to pass the time. It kept us entertained all the way to Kanab, our base for the night.Read more
