On My Mind: Route 66 Day 1

Ramble Write: Reflecting on an experience that may have always been in the making. It being linked to so many threads of connections and memory. Heading with my grade school bud, Sue, on our Route 66 Road Trip from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Oatman, Arizona. Flying in to Albuquerque and flying out from Las Vegas. Exploring the road, the national parks and monuments. Finding iconic images and linkings to the mother road. The one that began in 1926 and will be celebrating its 100th year in 2026. Learning as we go. Finding conversations with strangers seemed to sprout around every corner. What does the road spark? How does it tether us down and at the same time allow us to be released from whatever may be the norm? It is a place that shouts experience and memories. What alights meaning? What says “I am here and so are you.” 

Wearing our signature uniform. Historic Birthday sweatshirts and black turtle necks and jeans. Switching it up when the weather shifted and the temp rose to 89 degrees. Buying matching short sleeve Route 66 shirts at a Mobil or was it a Chevron station in Kingman on Beale Street. The tops were clear conversation starters that connected us with so many folks. Discovering that it was the connections we made all along the way that was the most meaningful part of the experience.

We had an itinerary. We had shrunk the travel distance down knowing a week would be our time span. My partner in crime or travel buddy had given me a Route 66 book for my birthday in the spring helping with the information gathering part. Knowing we needed to rent a car. Fly in and out from two different airports. Not really sure what it would look like when I first broached the idea with Sue as we walked Lake Harriet. It was leading into our 65th year which seemed more weighted with the “have to’s” than the “get to do’s. “ I am not sure if it was the medicare birthday cards that sent me over the edge, but I felt our 66th year could have an entirely different focus. Do a road trip on Route 66 when we turned 66. Whatever that might look like was yet to show itself. But the idea was set in motion. (I love when that happens. Those ideas that rise up. Not knowing any of the details. Having a buddy who simply says “sure” and then we both run with it.) 

Having just returned, it is very much on my mind. +++

Northern Arizona and Utah are the defining landscapes of the southwest USA. Glorious red rock canyons cut by majestic rivers and stone arches carved by nature, punctuate a beautiful desert landscape. Spread across vast National Parks with excellent facilities, it’s one of the ultimate road trips in the world. This 2-week Arizona and Utah road trip begins and ends in Las Vegas. With a stop on Route 66, and just the right amount of time in six National Parks, you’ll experience the culture, diversity, and sheer splendour of the southwest USA. Navigate slot canyons, admire striking hoodoos, hike to sublime destinations, drive long open roads, photograph natural wonders, and experience the best of Arizona and Utah. Our guide includes what to do each day, where to stay, a few money-saving tips, and advice for reserving National Park permits. MULEY POINT IN THIS GUIDE 2-Week Northern Arizona & Utah Road Trip Overview MAP | NORTHERN ARIZONA & UTAH NATIONAL PARKS ROAD TRIP This 2-week road trip itinerary covers the major natural sights in northern Arizona and Utah. It visits 6 National Parks – the Mighty 5 National Parks in Utah as well as Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. It also stops off at Monument Valley, Grand Staircase Escalante, and (if you are lucky with permits) The Wave. Below is a map of the complete 2-week road trip, followed by a day-by-day breakdown of where to stay, what to do and estimated driving time. >> Northern Arizona & Utah Road Trip Itinerary DAY 1: ARRIVE AT LAS VEGAS Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (formerly known as McCarran International Airport) and pick up your rental car from the airport. If you arrive early in Las Vegas and it hasn’t been a long flight, you may want to start this road trip as soon as you arrive by heading straight to the Grand Canyon. Otherwise, spend the night in Las Vegas and head off the following morning. The itinerary finishes in Las Vegas, so you can see the Sin City attractions at the start or the end of your trip. LAS VEGAS DAY 2: ROUTE 66 TO THE GRAND CANYON Leave Las Vegas and drive part of Route 66 to the Grand Canyon. First, stop off at the Hoover Dam which is around 45 minutes from Las Vegas. You can take guided tours, but it’s probably best just to admire the engineering marvel and capture a shot of the O’Callaghan-Pat Tilman Memorial Bridge. Continue on to visit some historic towns on Route 66. KINGMAN Kingman has the Historic Route 66 Museum and an iconic Route 66 sign outside the Visitors Centre. It’s worth a quick stop. WILLIAMS Williams is packed with Route 66 memorabilia. Wander through the streets with old bars, vintage gas stations and diners. We recommend brunch or lunch at the counter in Goldie’s Route 66 Diner. WILLIAMS, ROUTE 66 GRAND CANYON VILLAGE The driving time from Las Vegas to Grand Canyon Village is just over 4 hours, and we suggest trying to arrive by mid-afternoon. This will give you time to see sunset over the canyon. Sunset Views – Read our guide to the best Grand Canyon viewpoints to find a spot. For sunset we recommend Hopi and Pima Point. Sunset Walk – If you want to stretch your legs after the drive, Powell Point to Mohave Point is a short but excellent sunset walk at the Grand Canyon. POWELL POINT MOHAVE POINT DAY 3: GRAND CANYON Spend the whole day exploring the Grand Canyon. Cut by the mighty Colorado River, it’s one of the most remarkable landscapes in the world. If you’re up for an early start, the best place to be for sunrise is Mather Point.

HIKE INTO THE CANYON In the morning, before it gets too hot, we highly recommend hiking into the canyon. Being below the rim is a very different experience. Here are some suggested hikes: Easy – South Kaibab Trail to Ooh Aah Point (1 hr, 30 min | 1.8 miles) Medium – South Kaibab Trail to Cedar Ridge (2 hr, 30 min | 3 miles) Challenging – Bright Angel Trail to Plateau Point (8 hr | 12.2 miles) Detailed information for each walk is in our Grand Canyon hikes guide. DESERT VIEW ROAD In the afternoon and evening drive the Desert View Road picking off the best Grand Canyon viewpoints. Don’t miss the short walk to Shoshone Point, it’s an incredible sunset spot that you may have all to yourself.   PLATEAU POINT OOH AAH POINT SKELETON POINT DAY 4: PAGE & ANTELOPE CANYON On day 4, drive from Grand Canyon Village to Page. This town sits on the edge of Navajo lands and it’s a highlight of this Utah road trip itinerary. There are three excellent things to do. ANTELOPE CANYON Book a tour of Antelope Canyon, the most photographed slot canyon in the world. There are two sections to the canyon, Upper & Lower Antelope Canyon and you need to book a tour to see both of them. All the details are on our guide to visiting Antelope Canyon. WAHWEAP OVERLOOK Just north of Page, Wahweap Overlook provides excellent views over Wahweap Bay, Lake Powell and the Colorado Plateau. Stop for photos of Glen Canyon Dam on the way.   ANTELOPE CANYON ANTELOPE CANYON WAHWEAP OVERLOOK HORSESHOE BEND This is one of the iconic images of the Grand Canyon. The Colorado River has cut a massive, almost fully circular, bend through the rock. Contrary to advice we’ve seen online, we think it’s best to see Horseshoe Bend late morning or midday. The bend and the river are in shadow at all other times and at sunset the sun is directly in front of you making photography tricky. Wahweap Overlook and Horseshoe Bend are both located in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. There is a $30 fee per vehicle for a 7-day pass, however, it’s covered in the America The Beautiful Pass (see PASSES, PERMITS & TOURS below). DETAILS // DAY 4 Driving Time – 2 hours 30 minutes from Grand Canyon Village to Page | Stay – La Quinta Inn & Suites, Page – hotels.com | booking.com HORSESHOE BEND DAY 5: DRIVE TO MONUMENT VALLEY Today, drive from Page to Monument Valley (2 hours) stopping off at The Wave. THE WAVE The Wave is a geological formation of undulating swirling patterns in the sandstone rock. Access to visitors is extremely limited with only 64 people allowed entry per day. So far, we’ve applied 5 times without success. You need to apply for a Permit in either the 4-month advance lottery or in the daily lottery, which provides permits for the next few days. The daily lottery can only be entered while you are within a geo-fenced area. Following this itinerary, you need to apply for your permit in Page. If you managed to get a permit, congratulations, if not, head straight over to Monument Valley. MONUMENT VALLEY Monument Valley is a land rich in Navajo culture and breath-taking scenery. Read our guide: best things to do in Monument Valley to decide what to do today depending on how much time you have. The highlights are: Driving the 17-mile scenic loop Joining a sunrise or sunset tour Hiking the Wildcat Trail Entrance to Monument Valley is $8 per person, per day and there are several rules you need to be aware of, including the consumption of alcohol. All the information is in our Monument Valley guide. MONUMENT VALLEY DAY 6: FORREST GUMP & MULEY POINT Spend the morning visiting the Monument Valley attractions you missed yesterday. We highly recommend this sunrise tour with a Navajo guide which takes you to the restricted backcountry. Alternatively, just capture dawn from The View hotel. Then leave Monument Valley and continue the road trip, heading out of northern Arizona and into Utah. The destination for the day is Blanding and there are several stops along the way.

Goulding’s Museum & Trading Post – A famous location for Old West movies and an interesting museum about the Navajo way of life. Forrest Gump Highway Viewpoint – The viewpoint of Monument Valley made famous from the film Forrest Gump. The location is on our map above. Mexican Hat – A rock shaped like a sombrero, that peers over a tiny settlement of the same name. MEXICAN HAT FOREST GUMP VIEWPOINT MOKI DUGWAY & MULEY POINT (optional detour) A detour up Hwy 261 brings you to Moki Dugway, a dramatic series of switchbacks carved into steep cliff walls. It’s only 3 miles long but the views over the Valley of the Gods as it climbs are stunning. Just past the top of the switchbacks, there’s a 5-mile track to Muley Point, one of the most underrated views in Utah. The roads should not be attempted after heavy rain, but in most other conditions it’s perfectly manageable in a regular car. Allow about 90 minutes for the detour from Hwy 163. VALLEY OF THE GODS (optional detour) Another optional detour is the 17-mile loop through the sandstone spires of the Valley of the Gods. The road however can be rough. In good conditions, a regular car should be fine, but it would be more comfortable in a 4×4. DETAILS // DAY 6 Driving Time – 1 hour 30 minutes from Monument Valley to Blanding (90 minutes more for Muley Point) | Stay – Stone Lizard Lodge, Blanding – hotels.com | booking.com MOKI DUGWAY MULEY POINT MULEY POINT DAY 7: MOAB & THE NEEDLES, CANYONLANDS Today, drive from Blanding to Moab, exploring the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park on the way. Canyonlands is the first of Utah’s Mighty 5 on this southwest road trip and one of the most under-rated National Parks in the USA. Defined by two mighty canyons carved out by the Green and Colorado Rivers, it’s a spectacular landscape of towering mesas, dramatic buttes, and winding canyons. Canyonlands is split into 4 very distinct sections, and we suggest you visit the Needles section on the way from Monument Valley. BIG SPRING OVERLOOK WOODEN SHOE ARCH VIEWPOINT US ROUTE 211 Start by driving US Route 211, one of the finest drives in the USA. There are several excellent viewpoints and attractions on Hwy 211, the best are: Wooden Shoe Arch Big Spring Canyon Overlook Confluence Overlook Newspaper Rock State Monument All the details are in our guide: What to do in Canyonlands National Park. HIKING IN THE NEEDLES Next, try one of the hikes in the Needles. We highly recommend the Chesler Park Loop. The entire hike took about 7 hours, and it was one of the best hikes we have ever done. After visiting Needles, head to Moab. Along the way there are a couple of arches and Hole ‘N’ The Rock by the side of the road. DETAILS // DAY 7 Driving Time – 3 hours from Blanding to Moab via the Needles section of Canyonlands | Stay – Gravity Haus Moab Hotels, Moab – hotels.com | booking.com CHESLER PARK LOOK, THE NEEDLES DAY 8: ARCHES NATIONAL PARK Arches National Park is the second of the Mighty 5 on this Utah National Parks road trip. With over 2,000 natural arches cut into vertical fins of rock, it’s a stunning geological landscape. Visit all the main attractions in one day, following our 1-day Arches itinerary. The park is 5 miles north of Moab. DETAILS // DAY 8 Driving Time – You’ll need all day in Arches, but the total driving time is around 2 hours | Stay – Gravity Haus Moab Hotels, Moab – hotels.com | booking.com DELICATE ARCH, ARCHES NATIONAL PARK DOUBLE ARCH, ARCHES NATIONAL PARK DAY 9: CANYONLANDS & CAPITOL REEF TO TORREY Today is a long day so we recommend getting an early start. There are three major highlights to see. ISLAND OF THE SKY, CANYONLANDS The second section of Canyonlands to visit on this Utah road trip is Island in the Sky. Here an outer canyon drops 1,200 feet from the canyon rim to a wide, flat sandstone bench. From there the inner canyon drops another 1,000 feet to the winding rivers below. The result is a stunning canyon within a canyon.

We suggest seeing Mesa Arch at sunrise, then exploring the best viewpoints which are all listed here: best things to do in Canyonlands. DEAD HORSE POINT The views from the southern end of Dead Horse Point are magical. It was also the location where Thelma and Louise drove over the ledge. DEAD HORSE POINT MESA ARCH SHAFER CANYON VIEWPOINT, CANYONLANDS CAPITOL REEF NATIONAL PARK Capitol Reef National Park is the third of the Mighty 5 on this northern Arizona and Utah road trip. It is a landscape of cliffs, canyons, domes, and bridges. It’s not as dramatic as the other National Parks but you should explore the orchards around Fruita and take in the views from Goosenecks Overlook. If you have time, you could hike either the Hickman Bridge Trail or the Grand Wash Trail. DETAILS // DAY 9 Driving Time – 2 hours 40 minutes Moab to Torrey. Add 90 minutes for Canyonlands Viewpoints + 30 minutes for Dead Horse Point | Stay – Skyview Hotel, Torrey – hotels.com | booking.com CAPITOL REEF DAY 10: ESCALANTE NATIONAL MONUMNET Today the road trip heads over the mountains and across the northern section of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The destination is Bryce Canyon City. The highlight of the drive is Scenic Byway 12 running between Boulder and Escalante. SCENIC BYWAY 12 Often listed as one of the most stunning roads in the country, Scenic Byway 12 is a designated All-American Road that runs along a narrow ridge called the Hogback, twisting and turning as a dramatic canyon drops below. The red and white rock contrasts beautifully with the green oasis that lies along the canyon bottom. There are lots of great stops or detours along the way, but we suggest you choose one of the following: Drive the Burr Trail Road to Long Canyon Hike to Calf Creek Falls Explore Peekaboo & Spooky slot canyons. You can find all the details in our guide: best things to do in Grand Staircase Escalante. DETAILS // DAY 10 Driving Time – 2 hours 15 minutes Torrey to Bryce Canyon City. Add 60 minutes for Burr Trail, or 1 hr 40 min to slot canyons | Stay – Best Western Bryce Canyon – hotels.com | booking.com CALF CREEK FALLS SPOOKY SLOT CANYON HIGHWAY 12 DAY 11: BRYCE CANYON NATIONAL PARK Bryce Canyon National Park is a geological wonder. Stunning amphitheatres are filled with row upon row of towering spire-shaped rock formations known as hoodoos. The park is not that big, and the best sections can be explored in just over half a day. Get an early start to see sunrise from Bryce Point, then follow our one-day Bryce Canyon itinerary. BRYCE CANYON SPRINGDALE Leave Bryce in the early to mid-afternoon and head towards Springdale. This magical drive begins along Hwy 89, then turns right at Mount Carmel onto Hwy 9. From here it enters Zion National Park before twisting through the Zion-Mount Carmel tunnel to Springdale. There are some great sights on route. Stop at the sandstone summit, Checkerboard Mesa Peer into Keyhole Canyon Hike to Canyon Overlook (1 mile each way, just over 1 hour round trip). This is a great place to be a sunset. DETAILS // DAY 11 Driving Time – 2 hours | Stay – Red Rock Inn Cottages, Springdale – hotels.com | booking.com CHECKERBOARD MESA HIKE TO CANYON OVERLOOK CANYON OVERLOOK DAY 12: ZION NATIONAL PARK The last of Utah’s Mighty 5 on this road trip is Zion National Park. It’s one of the most popular National Parks in the USA. Today you have the entire day to explore the area. Cars are not permitted in the park from around early Spring to November. Catch the shuttle bus from Springdale into the main canyon. There are various points to stop off along the main canyon: Avid hikers should attempt the narrow ridge to Angel’s Landing (permit required). For a less nerve-wracking route, try the West Rim Trail. Shorter hikes include the Kayenta Trail and Emerald Pools. Leave the main canyon in late afternoon and spend sunset watching the colours of The Watchman, a 6,500-foot sandstone mountain slowly fade away.

DETAILS // DAY 12 Driving Time – 2 hours | Stay – Red Rock Inn Cottages, Springdale – hotels.com | booking.com ANGEL’S LANDING HIKE ZION NATIONAL PARK DAY 13: ZION & VALLEY OF FIRE Today, there are a couple more adventures to try before you head back to Las Vegas. ZION, THE NARROWS The Narrows is a tight canyon between two towering walls with the Virgin River flowing between them. It’s one of the most unique hikes in the world as you walk along the canyon, knee-deep in water. You can hire special boots, socks, and a walking pole from rental providers in Springdale. To get to the Narrows, hop on the shuttle bus to the Temple of Sinawava. We suggest hiking up the river to Wall Street before turning around. It’s an unforgettable experience. THE NARROWS, ZION VALLEY OF FIRE STATE PARK After the Narrows, drive to the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada and complete the 1.5-mile hike to the Fire Wave. The Fire Wave is a wave of slickrock with striking red and white lines running through it. It’s reminiscent of The Wave in Arizona. Finally, drive on to Las Vegas for your last night on this northern Arizona and Utah National Parks road trip. We have some recommendations for some great nightlife in Las Vegas that doesn’t only involve gambling. LAS VEGAS DAY 14: LAS VEGAS In a town where you get what you want, gambling and non-stop partying is very achievable in Sin City. But Las Vegas is what you make of it, here are some ideas for what to do: Visiting the lobbies of Caesars Palace and the Venetian. Watching the fountain show at the Bellagio. See a Cirque du Soleil performance. Going to the Duelling Pianos session in Paris. All the details are on our guide: what to do in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS CAR RENTAL TIPS The main route of this northern Arizona and Utah road trip is all on paved roads and can be completed in a normal 2WD vehicle. However, some of the optional detours head onto gravel tracks. These include: Day 5: 17-mile scenic drive in Monument Valley Day 6: Moki Dugway, Muley Point & Valley of the Gods Day 7: Elephant Hill Trailhead in Needles section of Canyonlands Day 10: Hole in the Rock Road leading to Escalante Slot canyons In normal conditions these gravel tracks can be driven in a regular car, however you would be more comfortable in an AWD or 4×4. After rain or in winter a 2WD may not be sufficient, so check road conditions with the park authorities before you set off. Book your car rental: rentalcars.com WAHWEAP OVERLOOK BEST TIME TO VISIT ARIZONA & UTAH NATIONAL PARKS The best time to complete this road trip is in the shoulder months of April to May or September to October. Temperatures are mild and it will be less crowded than in the summer months. In some of the parks, summer temperatures can reach 90°F to 100°F, while in winter it can drop below freezing and snow can block the trails and make some unpaved roads impassable. PASSES, PERMITS & TOURS AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL PASS This road trip passes through 6 national parks. Each has their own entrance fee of about $20 to $35 (per vehicle). A great way to save money is to get the America the Beautiful Pass. The pass costs $80 and admits the pass owner and up to 3 passengers in any non-commercial vehicle. It is valid for one year and gives you free entrance to more than 2,000 recreation areas including all the National Parks and Bureau of Land Management areas like Grand Staircase Escalante and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. THE WAVE You need a permit to enter the wave and they are extremely difficult to get as only 64 are allocated per day. Permits are issued 4 months in advance, and you can apply from anywhere in the world. There is also a daily lottery for permits issued within the next few days, but you need to apply from within a geo-fenced area. Apply for a Wave Permit here and best of luck. If you are successful there is a compulsory 8.30 am safety briefing in either Kanab or Page. After the briefing you drive to the Wave (1 hour) and explore on your own.

CAPITOL REEF SHAFER SWITCHBACKS, CANYONLANDS CAPITOL REEF ARCHES NATIONAL PARK To enter the park from April 1 through October 31, you need a timed entry ticket which you should book online in advance. Ticketed entry runs from 7 am to 4 pm. If you are unable to get a timed entry slot you can still enter the park before 7 am (arrive a good 15 minutes early) or after 4 pm. ANGEL’S LANDING There is no permit required to visit Zion National Park, but you do need a permit to hike the narrow ridge at the top of Angel’s Landing. There is a seasonal lottery and a day-before lottery. Apply for an Angel’s Landing permit here. ANTELOPE CANYON To visit Antelope Canyon, you need to take a organised tour with a Navajo guide. Tours to Upper Antelope Canyon book out months in advance, so be sure to book ahead. SHAFER OUTLOOK, CANYONLANDS AMENDING THIS ROAD TRIP This northern Arizona and Utah National Parks road trip has been designed to visit all the best sights in the area, but there might be some amendments or additions worth making. If you are not a hiker, consider skipping Needles on Day 7 and driving straight from Monument Valley to Moab, skipping the night in Blanding. If you like 4×4 adventures, add an extra day in Moab and drive the magnificent White Rim and Potash roads – one of the best things to do in Canyonlands. If you enjoy the mystical, you could spend a night in Sedona between Route 66 and the Grand Canyon. If you have extra time add another day between Moab and Torrey. See more of Island of the Sky, plus Goblin Valley State Park, Moon Overlook and the Cathedral Valley section of Capitol Reef National Park. If you fancy another night in Las Vegas, take a day trip to the dunes and colourful rocks of Death Valley. HORSESHOE BEND WHERE NEXT?

Oh, fuck me, I just noticed...

Daniel?

DANIEL?!

You're going to come here into my private den not on anon @kevinromierlo-blog and call me Daniel?!

So I guess that's who I am now? Not that it would make a difference. Let's run the simulation and see what happens:

Daniel Jacob Patterson was born in 1980 in Mesa, Arizona to a young travel agent named Sally Orton. After graduating from Mesa High School he attended the University of Arizona where he majored in astronomy. As a breadth requirement he took a lower division acocunting class and found his true passion. After graduating he quickly became a Certified Public Accountant and joined Powell Accounting Professional Services in Scottsdale. After sever years he'd built enough of a client base to branch off and start his own practice in south Phoenix called Patterson Accounting. The business expanded quickly, and soon he was able to open other branches in Flagstaff, Kingman, and Tucson. In 2014 he was able to achieve a lifelong dream when he published his first book on accounting software called The Art of Accounting Software:

The book revolutionized accounting practices across Arizona, culminating in Patterson giving the keynote address at the 34th annual meeting of the Southwest Accounting Professionals Service Organization (SAPSO 34). His speech—"How to EXCEL with Modern Accounting Software: Best Practices and Practical Advice"—nearly received a standing ovation before SAPSO president Helen Shackleford called for order.

Tragically, Patterson's life was cut short when, in 2017, he took a false step off of a moving walkway in Phoenix's Sky Harbor Airport, falling backward and landing awkwardly on a large roller bag.

The man's been dead seven years, @kevinromierlo-blog, and yet you're confusing me for him?! Two words: HOW?!

(The second word is also "how", but I used up all my italics and caps.)

Hi Daniel! Beyond awesome stuff! Especially love the glyph for joy in your wife's honour. Not to mention the gorgeous engraved ring!

The website omniglot.com (through which I satisfied my love for languages and scripts since I was 11 years old) always includes a translation of the first UN Declaration of Human Rights. Could you produce one in High Valyrian?

Here is the text: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. (Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

Thank you!

I'm not going to do anything for Omniglot until they fix some of the absurd things said about some of my writing systems. For example, if you go to High Valyrian right now, the image they use for the writing system is an alphabet where one glyph lines up with each letter in the English alphabet. It is, indeed, what happens when you type that in the font, but that's just to have something appear when you type each key; that's not what the system is. Honestly, it's gone off the rails the past ten or so years specifically with respect to conlang scripts. It is in no way a reliable resource when it comes to conlang scripts.

             It was not odd for Ace to be taken in the private jet. The master had many business trips and Ace had gotten very used to nice hotel rooms and plane travel. Providing companionship and personal protection for his human no matter what country they were in. But for this meeting Ace was left in the hotel room. Pacing and scratching at the door, whining as he waited for his master to come back. All it took was one maid to open the door and Ace was bolting through the hotel knocking over unsuspecting humans and zooming through the front doors.

            But his turmoil wasn’t ended yet. Once he made it outside he was met with more chaos, London streets of noise and people and so much movement, the shepherd skidded and kept running trying to find his human but also some shelter from as the lights and noise. He wasn’t sure how long he ran, avoiding cars and people alike, but by the time it was over and he flopped down on the sidewalk the shepherd was too tired to care.

              Ace panted hard, tongue out as he tried to cool himself. But ears quickly fell back and a terrible growl worked up his throat as he saw a human approaching. The dog could not have known he was laying in front of a tailor shop but in any case, he snapped his teeth at the two-leg, hot fur rising.

Phoenix Lights - 1997 “The Phoenix Lights (sometimes called the "Lights over Phoenix") were a series of widely sighted unidentified flying objects observed in the skies over Arizona, Nevada in the United States, and Sonora, Mexico on Thursday, March 13, 1997. Lights of varying descriptions were seen by thousands of people between 19:30 and 22:30 MST, in a space of about 300 miles (480 km), from the Nevada line, through Phoenix, to the edge of Tucson.   There were allegedly two distinct events involved in the incident: a triangular formation of lights seen to pass over the state, and a series of stationary lights seen in the Phoenix area. The United States Air Force identified the second group of lights as flares dropped by A-10 Warthog aircraft that were on training exercises at the Barry Goldwater Range in southwest Arizona. Witnesses claim to have observed a huge carpenter's square-shaped UFO, containing five spherical lights or possibly light-emitting engines. Fife Symington, the governor at the time, was one witness to this incident; he later called the object "otherworldly." The lights were reported to have reappeared in 2007 and 2008, but these events were quickly attributed to (respectively) military flares dropped by fighter aircraft at Luke Air Force Base and flares attached to helium balloons released by a civilian. Initial reports At about 18:55 PST (19:55 MST), a man reported seeing a V-shaped object above Henderson, Nevada. He said it was about the "size of a (Boeing) 747", sounded like "rushing wind", and had six lights on its leading edge. The lights reportedly traversed northwest to the southeast. An unidentified former police officer from Paulden, Arizona is claimed to have been the next person to report a sighting after leaving his house at about 20:15 MST. As he was driving north, he allegedly saw a cluster of reddish or orange lights in the sky, comprising four lights together and a fifth light trailing them. Each of the individual lights in the formation appeared to the witness to consist of two separate point sources of orange light. He returned home and through binoculars watched the lights until they disappeared south over the horizon. Prescott and Prescott Valley

Lights were also reportedly seen in the areas of Prescott and Prescott Valley. At approximately 20:17 MST, callers began reporting the object was definitely solid, because it blocked out much of the starry sky as it passed over. John Kaiser was standing outside with his wife and sons in Prescott Valley when they noticed a cluster of lights to the west-northwest of their position. The lights formed a triangular pattern, but all of them appeared to be red, except the light at the nose of the object, which was distinctly white. The object, or objects, which had been observed for approximately 2 to 3 minutes with binoculars, then passed directly overhead the observers, they were seen to "Bank to the right", and they then disappeared in the night sky to the southeast of Prescott Valley. The altitude could not be determined, however it was fairly low and made no sound whatsoever. The National UFO Reporting Center received the following report from the Prescott area: While doing astrophotography I observed five yellow-white lights in a "V" formation moving slowly from the northwest, across the sky to the northeast, then turn almost due south and continue until out of sight. The point of the "V" was in the direction of movement. The first three lights were in a fairly tight "V" while two of the lights were further back along the lines of the "V"'s legs. During the NW-NE transit one of the trailing lights moved up and joined the three and then dropped back to the trailing position. I estimated the three light "V" to cover about 0.5 degrees of sky and the whole group of five lights to cover about 1 degree of sky. Dewey

At the town of Dewey, 10 miles (16 km) east of Prescott, Arizona, six people saw a large cluster of lights while driving northbound on Highway 69. First sighting from Phoenix

Tim Ley and his wife Bobbi, his son Hal and his grandson Damien Turnidge first saw the lights when they were above Prescott Valley about 65 miles (100 km) away from them. At first they appeared to them as five separate and distinct lights in an arc-shape like they were on top of a balloon, but they soon realized the lights appeared to be moving towards them. Over the next ten or so minutes they appeared to be coming closer and the distance between the lights increased and they took on the shape of an upside down V. Eventually when the lights appeared to be a couple of miles away the witnesses could make out a shape that looked like a 60-degree carpenter's square with the five lights set into it, with one at the front and two on each side. Soon the object with the embedded lights appeared to be coming right down the street where they lived about 100 to 150 feet (30 to 45 meters) above them, traveling so slowly it appeared to hover and was silent. The object then seemed to pass over their heads and went through a V opening in the peaks of the mountain range towards Squaw Peak Mountain and toward the direction of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Witnesses in Glendale, a suburb northwest of Phoenix, saw the object pass overhead at an altitude high enough to become obscured by the thin clouds; this was at approximately between 20:30 and 20:45 MST. Arriving in Phoenix

When the triangular formation entered the Phoenix area, Bill Greiner, a cement driver hauling a load down a mountain north of Phoenix, described the second group of lights: "I'll never be the same. Before this, if anybody had told me they saw a UFO, I would've said, 'Yeah and I believe in the Tooth Fairy.' Now I've got a whole new view and I may be just a dumb truck driver, but I've seen something that don't belong here." Greiner stated that the lights hovered over the area for more than two hours. After Phoenix

A report came from a young man in the Kingman area who stopped his car at a public phone to report the incident. "[The] young man, en route to Los Angeles, called from a phone booth to report having seen a large and bizarre cluster of stars moving slowly in the northern sky". Reappearance in 2007

A repeat of the lights occurred February 6, 2007, and was recorded by the local Fox News television station. According to military officials and the Federal Aviation Administration, these were flares dropped by F-16 aircraft training at Luke Air Force Base. Reappearance in 2008

On April 21, 2008, lights were again reported over North Phoenix by local residents. According to witnesses, the lights formed a vertical line, then spread apart and made a diamond shape. The lights also formed a U-shape at one time. Tony Toporek video taped the lights. He was talking to neighbors at 8 p.m. when the lights appeared. He went and grabbed his camera to get the lights on video. A valley resident reported that shortly after the lights appeared, three jets were seen heading west in the direction of the lights. An official from Luke Air Force Base denied any United States Air Force activity in the area. On April 22, 2008, a resident of Phoenix told a newspaper that the lights were nothing more than his neighbor releasing helium balloons with flares attached. The following day a Phoenix resident who declined to be identified in news reports stated he had attached flares to helium balloons and released them from his back yard. However, no name or pictures of the reported hoaxter were ever released, nor was anyone cited, ticketed or charged from the supposed releasing of flares over a residential area that at the time was enduring a record drought. Photographic documentation

Imagery of the Phoenix Lights falls into two categories: images of the triangular formation seen prior to 22:00 MST in Prescott and Dewey, and images of the 22:00 MST Phoenix event. Almost all known images are of the second event. All known images were produced using a variety of commercially available camcorders and cameras. First event

There are few known images of the Prescott/Dewey lights. Television station KSAZ reported that an individual named Richard Curtis recorded a detailed video that purportedly showed the outline of a spacecraft, but that the video had been lost. The only other known video is of poor quality and shows a group of lights with no craft visible. Second event

During the Phoenix event, numerous still photographs and videotapes were made, distinctly showing a series of lights appearing at a regular interval, remaining illuminated for several moments and then going out. These images have been repeatedly aired by documentary television channels such as the Discovery Channel and the History Channel as part of their UFO documentary programming. The most frequently seen sequence shows what appears to be an arc of lights appearing one by one, then going out one by one. UFO advocates claim that these images show that the lights were some form of "running light" or other aircraft illumination along the leading edge of a large craft — estimated to be as large as a mile (1.6 km) in diameter — hovering over the city of Phoenix. Other similar sequences reportedly taken over a half hour period show differing numbers of lights in a V or arrowhead array. Thousands of witnesses throughout Arizona also reported a silent, mile wide V or boomerang shaped craft with varying numbers of huge orbs. A significant number of witnesses reported that the craft was silently gliding directly overhead at low altitude. The first-hand witnesses consistently reported that the lights appeared as "canisters of swimming light", while the underbelly of the craft was undulating "like looking through water". However, skeptics claim that the video is evidence that mountains not visible at night partially obstructed views from certain angles, thereby bolstering the claim that the lights were more distant than UFO advocates claim. UFO advocate Jim Dilettoso claimed to have performed "spectral analysis" of photographs and video imagery that proved the lights could not have been produced by a man-made source. Dilettoso claimed to have used software called "Image Pro Plus" (exact version unknown) to determine the amount of red, green and blue in the various photographic and video images and construct histograms of the data, which were then compared to several photographs known to be of flares. Several sources have pointed out, however, that it is impossible to determine the spectral signature of a light source based solely on photographic or video imagery, as film and electronics inherently alter the spectral signature of a light source by shifting hue in the visible spectrum, and experts in spectroscopy have dismissed his claims as being scientifically invalid. Normal photographic equipment also eliminates light outside the visible spectrum — e.g., infrared and ultraviolet — that would be necessary for a complete spectral analysis. The maker of "Image Pro Plus", Media Cybernetic, has stated that its software is incapable of performing spectroscopic analysis. Cognitech, an independent video laboratory, superimposed video imagery taken of the Phoenix Lights onto video imagery it shot during daytime from the same location. In the composite image, the lights are seen to extinguish at the moment they reach the Estrella mountain range, which is visible in the daytime, but invisible in the footage shot at night. A broadcast by local Fox Broadcasting Company affiliate KSAZ-TV claimed to have performed a similar test that showed the lights were in front of the mountain range and suggested that the Cognitech data might have been altered. Dr. Paul Scowen, visiting professor of Astronomy at Arizona State University, performed a third analysis using daytime imagery overlaid with video shot of the lights and his findings were consistent with Cognitech. The Phoenix New Times subsequently reported the television station had simply overlaid two video tracks on a video editing machine without using a computer to match the zoom and scale of the two images. Wind direction data

Wind direction measured independently by several weather stations in the Phoenix area and archived by the National Climate Data Center is consistent with reports about the movement of the lights. During the events, wind direction (origin) was changing from roughly west (i.e. blowing towards the east) to north (i.e. blowing towards the south). This supports the hypothesis that the flying objects were wind driven and could simply have been balloons or flares. Wind direction in Phoenix, AZ on March 13–14, 1997. Wind is reported by the direction from which it originates. Data courtesy of NOAA National Climate Data Center. Explanations

There is some controversy as to how best to classify the reports on the night in question. Some are of the opinion that the differing nature of the eyewitness reports indicates that several unidentified objects were in the area, each of which was its own separate "event". This is largely dismissed by skeptics as an over-extrapolation from the kind of deviation common in necessarily subjective eyewitness accounts. The media and most skeptical investigators have largely preferred to split the sightings into two distinct classes, a first and second event, for which two separate explanations are offered: First event

The first event — the "V", which appeared over northern Arizona and gradually traveled south over nearly the entire length of the state, eventually passing south of Tucson — was the apparently "wedge-shaped" object reported by then-Governor Symington and many others. This event started at about 20:15 MST over the Prescott area, and was seen south of Tucson by about 20:45 MST. Proponents of two separate events propose that the first event still has no provable explanation, but that some evidence exists that the lights were in fact airplanes. According to an article by reporter Janet Gonzales that appeared in the Phoenix New Times, videotape of the v shape shows the lights moving as separate entities, not as a single object; a phenomenon known as illusory contours can cause the human eye to see unconnected lines or dots as forming a single shape. Mitch Stanley, an amateur astronomer, observed high altitude lights flying in formation using a Dobsonian telescope giving 43× magnification. After observing the lights, he told his mother, who was present at the time, that the lights were aircraft. According to Stanley, the lights were quite clearly individual airplanes; a companion who was with him recalled asking Stanley at the time what the lights were, and he said, "Planes". When Stanley first gave an account of his observation at the Discovery Channel Town Hall Meeting with all the witnesses there he was shouted down in his assertion that what he saw was what other witnesses saw. Some have claimed that Stanley was seeing the Maryland National Guard jets flying in formation during a routine training mission at the Barry M. Goldwater bombing range south of Phoenix. It is possible that the Phoenix Lights Vee is actually a group of planes based on the explanation of a similar sighting in South California. Second event

The second event was the set of nine lights appearing to "hover" over the city of Phoenix at around 10 pm. The second event has been more thoroughly covered by the media, due in part to the numerous video images taken of the lights. This was also observed by numerous people who may have thought they were seeing the same lights as those reported earlier. The U.S. Air Force explained the second event as slow-falling, long-burning LUU-2B/B illumination flares dropped by a flight of four A-10 Warthog aircraft on a training exercise at the Barry Goldwater Range at Luke Air Force Base. According to this explanation, the flares would have been visible in Phoenix and appeared to hover due to rising heat from the burning flares creating a "balloon" effect on their parachutes, which slowed the descent. The lights then appeared to wink out as they fell behind the Sierra Estrella, a mountain range to the southwest of Phoenix. A Maryland Air National Guard pilot, Lt. Col. Ed Jones, responding to a March 2007 media query, confirmed that he had flown one of the aircraft in the formation that dropped flares on the night in question. The squadron to which he belonged was in fact at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona on a training exercise at the time and flew training sorties to the Barry Goldwater Range on the night in question, according to the Maryland Air National Guard. A history of the Maryland Air National Guard published in 2000 asserted that the squadron, the 104th Fighter Squadron, was responsible for the incident. The first reports that members of the Maryland Air National Guard were responsible for the incident were published in The Arizona Republic newspaper in July 1997. Military flares such as these can be seen from hundreds of miles given ideal environmental conditions. Later comparisons with known military flare drops were reported on local television stations, showing similarities between the known military flare drops and the Phoenix Lights. An analysis of the luminosity of LUU-2B/B illumination flares, the type which would have been in use by A-10 aircraft at the time, determined that the luminosity of such flares at a range of approximately 50–70 miles would fall well within the range of the lights viewed from Phoenix. Dr. Bruce Maccabee did an extensive triangulation of the four videotapes, determining that the objects were near or over the Goldwater Proving Grounds. Page 5 of Dr. Maccabee's analysis refers to Bill Hamilton and Tom King's sighting position at Steve Blonder's home. Blonder has worked with Dr. Maccabee to fully include his sighting position in the triangulation report. Maccabee has also refined three other sighting positions and lines of sight in 2012. News media response

There was minimal news coverage at the time of the incident. In Phoenix, a small number of local news outlets noted the event, but it received little attention beyond that. But on June 18, 1997, USA Today ran a front-page story that brought national attention to the case. This was followed by news coverage on the ABC and NBC television networks. The case quickly caught the popular imagination and has since become a staple of UFO-related documentary television, including specials produced by the History Channel and the Discovery Channel. Governor's response Shortly after the lights, Arizona Governor Fife Symington III held a press conference, stating that "they found who was responsible". He proceeded to make light of the situation by bringing his aide on stage dressed in an alien costume. (Dateline, NBC). But in March 2007, Symington said that he had witnessed one of the "crafts of unknown origin" during the 1997 event, although he did not go public with the information. In an interview with The Daily Courier in Prescott, Arizona, Symington said, "I'm a pilot and I know just about every machine that flies. It was bigger than anything that I've ever seen. It remains a great mystery. Other people saw it, responsible people. I don't know why people would ridicule it". Symington had earlier said, "It was enormous and inexplicable. Who knows where it came from? A lot of people saw it, and I saw it too. It was dramatic. And it couldn't have been flares because it was too symmetrical. It had a geometric outline, a constant shape." Symington also noted that he requested information from the commander of Luke Air Force Base, the general of the National Guard, and the head of the Arizona Department of Public Safety. But none of the officials he contacted had an answer for what had happened, and were also perplexed. Later, he responded to an Air Force explanation that the lights were flares: "As a pilot and a former Air Force Officer, I can definitively say that this craft did not resemble any man made object I'd ever seen. And it was certainly not high-altitude flares because flares don't fly in formation". In an episode of the television show UFO Hunters called "The Arizona Lights", Symington said that he contacted the military asking what the lights were. The response was "no comment". He pointed out that he was the governor of Arizona at the time, not just some ordinary civilian. Frances Barwood, the 1997 Phoenix city councilwoman who launched an investigation into the event, said that of the over 700 witnesses she interviewed, "The government never interviewed even one".”

Kingman Airport - KIGM - Kingman, Arizona

[wheelthepeoplepedicabtours]

Heritage island and Kingman lake, in Northeast, DC is more or less the same distance away from the U.S. Capitol building as the Lincoln Memorial. Here, the Whitney Young bridge connects East Capitol Street across Kingman lake and the Anacostia river. This lake was envisioned in the 1906 McMillan Commission plan for recreation, fishing and boating, and was created by the Army Corps of Engineers by the early 1920’s. It flows in and out of the Anacostia River, features lily pads, flowering American lotus, and wild rice, and is considered one of the few wild places left in DC. A variety of redevelopment schemes have been proposed or planned here. These included plans to fill in the lake to build a regional airport in the mid 1920’s. Proposals in the 1930’s to build an outdoor theatre & ice rink. A trash landfill was proposed in the early 1960’s, followed by proposals to build an amusement theme park. In the 1990’s, DC and federal officials were open to paving the islands with parking lots for the nearby NFL football stadium, which will be demolished in 2023. Bald eagles hunted here until the mid 1940’s, and only recently returned, with a pair of eagles procreating eaglets last spring at the National Arboretum, about 1.5 miles to the north of this location. This location is no more ambitious of a walk than going from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial, and within cycling distance. There is a metrorail station nearby, Stadium Armory station. And yes, we can take you here on a long pedicab tour along the Anacostia riverwalk trail, a paved multi-use pathway. Recently last spring, a male turkey or “Tom” was zealously patrolling this trail, perhaps to protect his nesting brood, but reports indicate he has moved on. #WashingtonDCtour #WashingtonDCtours #WashingtonDCtravel #WashingtonDCvacation #WashingtonDCbusinessTrip #dctours #dctour #DCtrip #WashingtonDCtrip #DCMetroTours#DCmetrosystem #DCMetrorail#washingtonDCpedicab #dcpedicab #wheelthepeople #dckidstour #dcstudenttour #FamilyTravel #DCtourism #AnacostiaRiver #AnacostiaWatershed #AnacostiaRiverwalkTrail #WildTurkey #Turkey #Turkeys #DCbiketrail #DCbikepath (at Kingman Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgWvujYLb4W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Time Flies

Wow, I can’t believe how much time has gone by since my last post. It’s been crazy busy. Once you get into a routine, it’s just day after day. When I get home, I’m not really interested in working on the computer. I should post while I’m delivering, or stopped on break.

In the past few weeks, I’ve been to Flagstaff, Winslow, Page, Kingman, Yuma, Tucson, Sierra Vista, Bullhead City, Marana, and Safford, as well as numerous local hangers and airports. I’ve even been back to Boulder City, NV a couple of times.

[ridewithjohnny]

Today I started a new driving schedule which is starting at 3am and going til 9am, then to gym to workout, home to take post-workout shake, and back to driving til 3ish. Will be on this schedule 6 days a week til Thanksgiving.

Had my first rider fall asleep/pass out in back seat today. Where when I got to her place I had to wake her up. Nice gal and great conversation til she passed out. Plus, thankful she didn't throw up anywhere but she didn't seemed drunk just tired I think, 5am was when I picked her up. Hope you were able to get some sleep Amberly, Thank you for extra tip $.

Another rider was on her way to the court house and great conversation on the way, she was Interested in Lyft driving and I told her truth as that is what Scorpions do. Real nice gal, and when I dropped her off she thanked me for the conversation which calmed her nerves during the ride due to her court appearance.

All other rides were great, almost got a Kingman, Arizona ride from McCarren Airport but when the 5 minutes expired and called the customer he said he accidentally put 340am instead of 340pm. Darn it. Would have be a great way to start the day. Tomorrow is another chance to make others happy and see where I can explore next.

Does your NHL Team play in Vegas this year? If so checkout RideWithJohnny.com for your ticket needs, all games and any EVENT in T-Mobile I will have tickets.
