We just returned from a quick first tour of the West, making a loop from Nevada to Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and back to Nevada. The weather was unseasonably cool and the winds were high for almost the entire trip. We even got stuck with the latest snow ever recorded in Utah - several inches worth. Some spring flowers were out, but the insects were few and we didn't end up with a single butterfly. We cut the trip short after eight days when both kids got very sick in Mesa Verde, Colorado. Two vomiting kids in a small RV isn't the pleasantest experience so I drove all day from Colorado to get back to Reno by 6PM, Monday. We will be off to resume the trip after the kids recuperate and V has had her ballet recital. The weather should be a lot warmer in a few weeks too. Here's the route we took and a video of what the wind picked up in New Mexico. Below are some photos of a few of the places we visited. View Larger Map
