• Day Four- The Wedge (San Rafeal Swell)

    June 27, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Woke up about 6am this morning. Slept well after we got settled in our new spot. Got packed up and decided to head to the Wedge. Stopped in the town of Mexican Hat ate breakfast and Greg got me a pair of native american jackalope earrings. 8:00 on our way to the Wedge. GPS was taking us up a switch back mountain going 25 mph 😳 for 3 hours with no gas for 200 and some miles. Greg decided that was not a good idea the bus doesn't have that kinda gas range and he was worried we might run out. So we turned around and are trying a different route. We just got onto interstate 75 and the speed limit is 80.
    Arrived at The Wedge around 3:45. It was a very bumpy, washboard, dirt, potholes and rocks road. It takes 1.5 hours to go 30 some miles. It Absolutely beat the stuffing out of Greg and I. The bus took a huge beating. Blessed that Greg is such a good driver and that for the most part all the parts are new on the bus. But it was worth all the stress and Anxiety. It is peaceful, there is a breeze and we are camped on the canyon rim. Absolutely Gorgeous! We stopped on the way up at Buckhorn Wash which is a petroglyph site. Good break and very interesting seeing these 1500 to 4000 years old petroglyphs.
