Beautiful, beautiful harrowing drives! Mrs. Jones hopes to never grow weary of the unbelievable scenery she’s witnessed driving through the great West, specifically Utah! First stop – Zion National Park. Man, so glad that there has never yet been a need to bust up a runaway truck ramp…

A quick stop for gas in THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE brought Mrs. Jones past the historical Cove Fort founded in 1867 at the request of Brigham Young! Definitely in Utah now! Also, if you pay close attention to some of the local brews – hint, hint – yep, you’re in Utah now, baby!

Bugs off the windshield and eyeballs ready for Zion!

Zion National Park allows private vehicles only on one route, if you want to get up to Zion Lodge, etc… it is shuttle bus only and winds along the Virgin River. Mrs. Jones isn’t really the shuttle bus type of woman, so up we went flying solo in the mini! This is a taste of Zion, after weeding through about five thousand photos… Must see!! Go!!

So many great turn-out spots everywhere to hike around the red, red rocks at your own risk! This park has you salivating to get out and touch something… Somehow just be a part of it.

Time to head East again and brush off the dust! Lucky for Mrs. Jones that she once again dug up a connection with a badass house in Moab with all the baths, pools, jacuzzis a woman could need! This portion of the journey was almost unreal, honestly. Huge thanks to Doug and Jackie who made this stop so warm and inviting. First, a long drive through who the hell knows with ramshackles and estates tucked into the side hills… Destination is a latitude/longitude, no physical address… huh? Find Dewey Bridge and then some crazy shit, fasten seatbelt!

But this is the non ramshackle destination worth every bang and thump along the gravel road! Surrounded by hundreds of acres of BLM lands, can you spot it?

Here comes Mrs. Jones, hauling ass sniffing out a jacuzzi with a view!

Are you f*#!&ing kidding me? Yay, Mrs. Jones finally figured out the damn drone!

This home is so beautifully tucked into the surroundings with wide, wide vistas in every direction. The new and improved off-leash Otter was worn out… He even tolerated a cat.

This little fixer on the property had Mrs. Jones considering downsizing!

Soaked, rested, clean and ready to tackle the road back out, Mrs. Jones insisted on following the RV and unhitched the Mini Cooper. This is a quick taste of what she witnessed following him out!

Destination, Colorado! One shot of whiskey and off we go!
