The Wave

Two days ago we took a day trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, but were unfortunately greeted by the haziest day of the trip which does not bode well for long-distance views.  We spent the night in Kanab, UT to wake up at 6 AM for The Wave.  Yesterday we used our lucky permit to hike to The Wave in Coyote Buttes North.  We won a permit the day before, the last two spots of ten allowed per day.  We considered ourselves lucky considered that 52 people showed up for the lottery of 10 people.  The unmarked hike goes to an extremely rare sandstone formation out in the desert.  After our early morning hike we drove all the way to Cortez, CO just outside of Mesa Verde National Park.  We're upgrading our lifestyle for another motel.  This one comes with a microwave.  We also stopped by Monument Valley for a short photo visit, as the dirt tour road was too much for my car to bear after the morning's rough road to The Wave trailhead.  Between ATV trails, Forest Service Roads, Monument Valley and The Wave, my car has officially seen more off-road than most suburban SUVs see in their lifetime.  A tour is offered, but we decided to put the $120 towards showers instead.  On a funnier side, I was also pulled over by a Colorado trooper for a very respectable 8-over on the highway, but was let off with a warning.  I have still yet to receive my first speeding ticket (ever).  Below are our favorite photos from the Wave!  Enjoy!

  1. If you’re going to strap on the same fake watchesevery day, it needs to look good with both your Tuesday suit and your Sunday t-shirt, but you don’t want it to be boring. You don’t have to spend five figures to get a great breitling replica.Theklockor kopior Globemaster ($120) handles all situations effortlessly and is packed with technology like a totally anti-magnetic movement and a more accurate and durable co-axial escapement,you’ll notice the seconds hand seems to tick like on a quartz
    rolex replica, but this rolex replicais because of a special gear-and-spring system inside that gives it the so-called “deadbeat seconds” for more precise timekeeping.As the brand’s iconic omega repliqueindividual product, admirable adroitness and absolute kelly 35cm demonstrates what both central and outside.
