On a travel day, camp is torn down and all of our supplies
need to be repacked into the van. The
configuration of items in the vans is important to make sure everything fits
just right. On our first travel day,
(traveling from San Rafael Swell to Goblin Valley State Park) we had breakfast,
torn down camp, and packed the van, with a departure time of 8:13 am. On our
second travel day, (traveling from Goblin Valley to Page, Arizona) we managed
to be packed and back on the road at 8:11 am.
Little by little we will improve our system to get off and running
earlier and earlier.
The packing masters hard at work. It is an acquired skill to get all of the
backpacks in the back of the van. A real
master leaves no space. It looks great
to me!
Travel by van and travel by foot- these are both necessary
modes of transportation. A short walk may result in tens of goat heads at the
bottom of your shoes as the desert creeps in to catch a ride when you’re not
looking.
