Where We’ve Been
We drove south from Valley of Fire State Park through Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NRA) to Kingman, Arizona. We like to drive through the Lake Mead NRA instead of through Las Vegas as it makes for a beautiful, quiet, peaceful drive. We love it there. We continued east on I-40 past Kingman for about 15 miles to the …

We departed Brooks, Alberta in thick, heavy smoke and made our way south to Milk River along the border of Alberta and Montana. The wildfires in British Columbia were still burning out of control and the smoke from the fire continued to blow east into Alberta and beyond. We continued our drive south hoping for clearer skies and cleaner air. …

It was in the summer when British Columbia was under a state of emergency due to the over 500 wildfires burning. For …
