This was a day of a lot of Route 66 stops. Yellow Horse Trading Post. Very very kitsch. Another classic Route 66 stop. No one was wearing masks (covid times) so we left quickly. Did get my kid one of the pressed pennies by the door though. “The Petrified Forest” is a bit deceptive asContinue reading “Day 9 Gallup to Needles”

Day 8 Santa Fe to Gallup
We got a late start leaving Santa Fe (noonish) so this was a short day. When I first planned I guessed this would happen and booked the Gallup RV place. Then I changed it to Holbrook (which looked like a nicer town to stay in) by the Petrified Forest National Park, but when they dayContinue reading “Day 8 Santa Fe to Gallup”
Day 6-8 Moab to Santa Fe
We went via Colorado down 84 because my husband thought he might want to see Los Almos (but it got late and he changed his mind). I’m glad went this way because the landscape was so different and we passed some things I was glad to see. The first thing we stopped for was WilsonContinue reading “Day 6-8 Moab to Santa Fe”
Day 4-6 Bryce to Moab and Arches
We passed “Thunder Mountain” (the basis for Disney’s “Big Thunder Mountain”) in the dark on the way in, so we decided to take a route to Moab that took us back through that way to get a better view in the daytime. They have two arches in the road to drive through on the roadContinue reading “Day 4-6 Bryce to Moab and Arches”

A visit to Bryce Canyon starting at the Grand Canyon in a wheelchair.
Day 1-2 SF-Barstow to the Grand Canyon
Travel experience on visiting the Grand Canyon in a wheelchair, an RV, or just generally.
Southwest Trip and the Falcon
We will be traveling in an accessible RV with my wheelchair across the Southwest from San Francisco. Our plan is to go San Francisco > Bartow > Grand Canyon > Bryce Canyon > Moab (and Arches National Park) > Santa Fe > Gallup > Mojave Desert (via Oatman)> SF
The Falcon
A folding power wheelchair suitable for ME/CFS and other conditions which require head support, a recline and raised feet. The headrest and raisable footrests are not included but you can add them. I think this will be a great chair for me when traveling places where I can’t use a wheelchair van and for shorter times out around my hometown, especially in tight indoor spaces like restaurants and people’s houses.
New Hampshire
Accessible skiing at Waterville Valley has a whole “adaptive snow sports” program and they are amazing.
Traveling with ME/CFS
There is a huge range of ME/CFS and you need to tailor your travel to fit your level. You need to stay well within your safety envelope for activity when you are outside or traveling.
