Steve finally gets his RV.

It’s not a Winnebago, but it’s nice enough. Sleeps six if two sleep in the bunk above the cab and two sleep on the bed formed by the dinette converting into one.

Eddie comes along, and Steve doesn’t predict that Wayne comes along too. Eddie’s uncle doesn’t want him out of his sight. The government hush money guarantees that Wayne won’t have to work anymore, and Eddie tells Steve he’s glad because Wayne’s back and knees aren’t what they used to be. They don’t have enough room for all of the kids, so this trip is just Dustin. Claudia loves Steve and she trusts him with her Dusty-Bun.

They’d wanted Wayne to take the bed over the cab, but he opts for the couch, saying he doesn’t want to climb the ladder every night. Dustin calls the dinette, so that leaves Steve and Eddie sharing the over-cab bed. At least two of them snore, but they buy earplugs.

They head to Utah so Dustin can see Suzie.

Missouri and Kansas blow by in a blur of excitement. They point out every animal and oddity they see along the way, Wayne smiling at his boy’s enthusiasm.

Colorado is their first taste of the southwest. Eddie buys Wayne a bolo tie with a turquoise stone. Steve buys an amethyst ring for Robin, a rose quartz barrette for Nancy. They pool their money to get a nice southwestern-patterned blanket for Dustin’s mom.

Steve drives them up to Mesa Verde, taking turns as cautiously as possible. Dustin geeks out over the ruins and takes control of the map, ordering Steve from viewpoint to viewpoint like a very pushy tour guide.

The drive into Utah is beautiful. A gradual shift to huge red rocks. Eddie begs him to stop at a roadside attraction called the Hole N” The Rock and they take the tour there.

It takes them a while to get to Susie’s house in Salt Lake City. They stop a few times along the way. Eddie pouts at Steve at a fossil shop and walks away with a weird little fossilized creature that Eddie and Dustin inform him is called a trilobite.

When they get to Susie’s house she’s waiting outside reading a book, but she jumps to her feet when she sees Dustin. He twirls her around and they laugh together and Steve glances at Eddie and thinks that this is what he wanted all along.

On Highway 191 in eastern Utah is a 5,000 square foot  fully equipped 1940s home. Above: Today and in the 1950s. 

Albert and Gladys Christensen built “Hole N’ The Rock” in Moab, Utah, over the course of more than 20 years, with Mr. Christensen chipping away at some 50,000 cubic feet of sandstone.

It began as a small alcove for their 2 boys to sleep in. 

And, it grew into a man-made living marvel. 

Al carved out 14 rooms arranged around large pillars. 

He even carved a tub out of rock.

Along with Al’s collection of taxidermy and his paintings, there’s also a collection of creepy dolls. 

Here’s Gladys sitting in her kitchen. 

Al even built a luncheonette counter and souvenir stand for tourists. 

He added this sculpture in the rock.

Even some humor. 

Look at this Jeep made of scrap. 

And, this 2 story outhouse.

It’s still open and you can visit. They’ve added a zoo, a trading post, a general store, s museum, and a collection of metal art. 

Look at how massive it is. Looks like someone starting boring in the rock on the upper level too.

Hole 'N' The Rock, Utah.

Hole ‘N’ The Rock, Utah.

http://www.theholeintherock.com/ This was one of those places that I stumbled upon by chance whilst driving from Moab to Glenwood Springs. I did not have much time to stop so I did not go inside the house, but always wish I had. The cave house was the work of Albert Christensen who began working on the house in the 1940s. 12 years later, Albert and his wife, Gladys moved in and opened up a…

Desert Heat - J. Elaine Hyde

Day One: Into the Wild

Diamond Fork Canyon - Fifth Water Hot Springs

The views were everything, but you knew that was almost all of Utah. It was breathtaking. You had paid for your camping spot and parked the excursion. With a 2.5 mile hike you’d be able to soak in a beautiful hot spring. It was still early enough in the season to ensure fewer people, but upon arrival, you found you were the only person there.

You excitedly packed a bag for your day hike. You only needed the essentials, plus a random assortment of emergency supplies, and water. You started off on the trail and almost immediately started taking pictures. You took in the amazing sounds of nature and felt... zen. You jammed your phone into your pack and continued on.

Before you could even see the hot springs themselves the fog rolled onto the trail signaling their direction. It was still an early March morning and more than a little chilly. You knew getting buck naked to climb into the hot springs was going to be freezing, but realized it would only make the hot spring water that much more amazing once you climbed in.

The steam/fog combination slowly crawling across the trail was purely magical. You had to attempt to get a photo. After a few shots that would have made Ansel Adams proud, you continued off the trail towards the springs.

It was freeing, you thought, to get naked in the middle of nowhere by yourself. It was also freezing. You tucked your hair into a ponytail and fought to pull it through the hole in the top of your beanie. Other than your beanie, you were as naked as the day you were born. You knew you were the only person here, but it was exhilarating.

The steam surrounded you, giving the hot spring an ethereal feeling. You sunk into the steamy water and felt around below the surface with your hand for a comfortable place to sit. You positioned yourself along the wall, in a spot that allowed you to be submerged to the tops of your shoulders. You exhaled deeply as your body relaxed. It was serene.

You had lost track of the time, but you didn’t care. This was the most relaxed you’d probably ever been in your entire life.

“Is it as amazing as you’re making it look?” The deep voice out of nowhere completely startled you as it shattered the calm.

Your hands sprung to your chest, attempting to cover yourself as you sat forward staring up at the large figure blocking out the sun.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to scare you. I guess I should have announced my presence a little better.”

“It’s fine. I just wasn’t expecting anyone else to be here.”

“Ranger says we’re the only two people in the park.”

Normally if a large man was telling you this while you were alone in the middle of nowhere, you would have been completely terrified, but something about this guy just made you feel safe.

“Do you mind if I join you?” He was polite... courteous. Something about him made you happy you weren’t alone anymore.

“Sure. Of course. The water is amazing.” You settled back into your spot.

“Uhhhh... weird question... you can totally say no.... but.... uhhh... do you care if I just wear my birthday suit?” He kind of laughed as he said it, realizing how awkward it was that he was asking a total stranger in the middle of nowhere if he could get naked with them.

“Go for it. I am. I won’t even peek.” You smiled as you leaned your head back closing your eyes.

You lied of course, but pretended not to watch as you saw this giant man getting undressed. He came closer to the edge of the spring, covering himself with both of his massive hands.

“Ohhhh wow.... this feels amazing.” He remarked as he sank into the water.

“It really is....” you stretched your back a little, allowing the tops of your breasts to break the surface, feeling slightly aroused at the thought of being naked in the middle of nowhere with a man you were guessing was attractive. At least from what you had been able to see of his body, he was.

Pretending not to care, you stretched your neck and exhaled deeply.

“I’m Pablo. By the way. Figured you should know my name since you’re the first female in ages that I’ve been naked with....”

“I’m y/n. Nice to meet you Pablo.” You were unfazed and kept your eyes closed. After repeating the name Pablo multiple times, you asked, “Like Neruda or Picasso.”

You guessed that his parents were into creative types.

“Neruda. No one ever gets that...” he seemed genuinely surprised.

You raised your eyebrows in response with a smirk.

“Ok... given our current situation... this is going to sound creepy. But I don’t mean for it to.”

Unmoved, you replied. “Ok. Shoot.”

“Are you really out here all by yourself? You’re gorgeous... and naked... that doesn’t seem safe to me.”

He thought you were gorgeous? Now you had to get a better look at him.

You lifted your head and opened your eyes, seeing his face for the first time.

“Oh shit.”

“What?!” He looked around behind him in a startled panic.

“You’re Pablo Schreiber.”

He laughed slightly, “Guilty.”

“Sorry. I didn’t...”

“It’s ok. I’m just flattered you even know who I am.”

You tried to play it cool. You didn’t want to come off as a fan girl, but you, and every inch of your body, was very aware of who he was, how insanely attractive he was and how naked.

You leaned your head back against the wall closing your eyes, you thought this move to be the epitome of playing it cool and unaffected.

“Den of Thieves and 13 Hours are two of my favorite movies.”

“That really says a lot about you....Makes a little more sense why a drop dead gorgeous woman would be out here naked and alone... should I be afraid?” He laughed.

You were amused, “What do you mean?”

“Well those are badass action movies.... we’re out here in the middle of nowhere and it’s not an easy 2.5 mile hike to get here. I’m guessing you’re kind of a badass.”

“I don’t know if I’d say that. But I’m definitely not your average woman.”

He paused... “Well I already knew that... look at you.”

You lifted your head and locked eyes with him, a small mischievous smirk spread on both of your faces.

You took the opportunity to calculate the risk on what you were about to do. Compiling a quick mental checklist.

You were both naked and in the middle of nowhere.

He thinks you’re attractive, and you’re obviously attracted to him.

He mentioned it’s been a long time since he’s been naked with a woman.

Fuck it.

You stood up, the water cascaded down your body, the water level now at your naval. You took a step forward. You kept your eyes locked on him as his eyes wandered around your exposed body. As he brought his gaze back to yours, you bit your lip.

That was all the signal he needed. He launched up, and in one swift movement was towering over you, he wrapped his warm massive hands around your face, passionately kissing you.

Never stopping the kiss he pulled you down into the water, in an effort to keep the both of you warm. He released your face, sliding his hands down your body, wrapping your legs around his waist.

You wrapped your arms around his neck as he clutched onto your waist. Making out with him was incredible. You’d be lying if you said you had never fantasized about it before... but this blew any fantasy you had out of the proverbial water.

You lost yourself in his kiss. His strong lips were mesmerizing, he used the perfect amount of tongue. His hand had gravitated to your ass, his massive hand palmed it, grasping it with a firm grip.

Your curiosity finally got the better of you, you loosened your legs around him, ran your hand down his chest, and found his erection below the water. He moaned into your mouth as you stroked it. His hand took advantage of the small gap between your wet bodies, immediately massaging your breast.

You threw your head back with a gasp. Taking full advantage he kissed your neck sucking and nibbling drawing out more moans from deep inside of you.

You leaned forward locking eyes with him as you positioned his erection at your opening. With the slightest shift of your hips, he entered you. Both of your eyes rolling back in your heads.

He groaned, “Ohhhh fuck you feel amazing....”

You wrapped your arms around his neck for leverage as you started working your way further down his shaft. His hands gripped your ass, lifting and pulling you faster and faster, never losing eye contact for more than a moment.

You leaned in, and kissed him, and as you did your first climax hit. He hugged your body tight against his, groaning as your body tightened around him with orgasm.

He continued, lifting and lowering you onto his thick manhood. You looped your feet inside his thighs, increasing your speed and force, as you climbed towards your second orgasm. He held onto your waist as you bounced on his dick, leaning forward so he could rub his face between your breasts.

As soon as his lips took your nipple into his mouth your second orgasm rushed through your body. You slowed your pace as he picked you up, placing you on the rock ledge of the pool. It was freezing but you didn’t care. It only added to the intensity.

He began thrusting into you, as you put your hands on the rocks behind you, propping yourself up.

“God you’re beautiful...” he said as he shook his head in disbelief.

You threw your head back, unable to suppress your screams of sheer pleasure. You had never been fucked this well by anyone, and out of all the men on the planet, Pablo Schreiber was the one plowing into you.

You felt another climax building as Pablo increased his speed, you knew he was close. Laying down against the rocks, you clutched your breasts in your hands, and that was exactly what sent him over the edge. Knowing he was getting off, buried deep inside of you, forced your orgasm, and the two of you came together.

Still inside of you he pulled you against his chest, plunging both of you back into the hot water. Your ams and legs were wrapped around him.

He kissed your shoulder, “That was the most amazing thing to ever happen to me. I’ve never.... I don’t... holy god that was incredible. You’re incredible.”

A kooky and fun roadside "Americana" attraction awaited us in Moab called "Hole n the Rock".   It's a 5000 square foot home AND old diner carved into the side of a mountain! Albert Christensen lived there after working on it for years with his brother and wife, but technically his father started it as a small shelter for Albert and his brother while he farmed. In the 50's they had a diner where the gift shop currently is. Albert died in 1957, but his wife, Gladys, continued adding to it until she too passed away. She turned it into a gift shop and gave tours of her home (which she was still living in)!  #holentherock #moab #utah #tourism #americana #kitsch #roadsideamerica #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travel #igtravel #roadtrip #familytravel #family #family50roadtrippingtheunitedstates https://www.instagram.com/p/BswqPRHh7EW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bnnuksvj8sim

Podcast #437: Don’t Make Me Pull Over! A History of the Road Trip

If you grew up in America in the 1970s and 80s, a vacation with your family likely involved piling in a car with your parents and siblings and being stuck with them for eight or more hours on the open road with little other than each other to keep yourselves entertained and sane. Entire movies were made about The Great American Road Trip. Yet this world has slowly faded away without our hardly noticing thanks to cheaper airfare and advances in technology and convenience. My guest today set out to document what he calls the Golden Age of Road Tripping before it vanishes from our collective memory. His name his Rich Ratay and in his book Don’t Make Me Pull Over! he walks readers through the history of the American family road trip. Today on the show, Rich and I discuss how it was actually bicycles that kickstarted America’s interstate highway system, when automotive road tripping really started taking off, and all the iconic businesses that built up around the nation’s new pastime, including Stuckey’s convenience stores, motels, and attractions like the world’s largest frying pan. Along the way, Rich shares stories from his family road trips growing up as a kid, particularly his memories of his dad taking on the role of leader, protector, and refueling-stop-minimizer during their expeditions. We end our conversation discussing the decline of the family road trip, what we miss out on when we take a plane to our destination, and why Millennial parents are ushering in the return of road trips to American culture.

Spectacular Natural Wonders In Our World

political interests and conflicts are left behind when the boundaries disappear and our earth is how beautiful you are to understand what we are actually first. When you’re a citizen of the world, it’s a matter of time to realize that the world is a beautiful place. When we saw it for a minute you can prepare your bag and take on the road without thinking. Here’s our have listed for you the natural wonders of this spectacular earth. Hopefully we will all be able to at least get a chance to see most of them.

  Patagonia, Argentina

the amazing nature of Patagonia, one of the world’s largest glaciers. The first discovery, or more precisely the western world has made to promote the famous Explorer Magellan. Argentina’s is located in South. Generally this region is dominated by a cold climate. There are also geographic shapes and steep high mountains with unique views. The struggle for survival, the documentary hosts a lot of competition.

  Grand Canyon, USA

Grand Canyon, USA’s one of the oldest and largest canyons. Sun n according to the state of the cliffs of the canyon creates a nice looking place and undergoes the color change. Over millions of years the Colorado River has become today due to the canyon shape. This is also easily available with many fossils from millions of years in the canyon, about the past sheds light on the present. And even contributed to the growth of a new generation of scientists.

  Aurora

generally seen between 60 to 72 degrees north and South latitudes. A lot of call for it has been shown by the locals in the fields. Ancient times and has become a source of faith. Of course, today such a situation it is very unlikely. While the sun’s rays reaching the earth is a condition that occurs as a result of the changes they have suffered. The northern lights, the aurora borealis, the Aurora Australis lights of the South is called. I think especially a place where cold lovers want to see.

  Maldives

The Maldive islands consists of 1200 islands. There are approximately 281 living in this. In the majority maldivli lives, or some of the islands belonging to Parties with the hotel’s name as it is used. I personally as someone who doesn’t like hot you wouldn’t want to live here. I watched in a documentary as I can tell, the ones who enjoy this island community, only rich people who come at certain times. They didn’t seem too happy with the situation of the islanders. The general economy of the islands, fishing and, of course, on tourism.

  Amazon rain forest
