I earned my JR Ranger badge @ Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP. It was more work than I thought it would be. The ranger asked me so many questions. It’s still summer!

We drove America’s Loneliest Highway across Nevada yesterday & saw some cool stuff. And we got ice cream.
I kept track of how many other travelers we saw on the loneliest 200 miles:
Cars/trucks (some with campers)-180
Trucks-30
Motorcycles-11
RV-11
Emergency/Fire trucks-3
UPS truck-1

It doesn’t seem that lonely.

We rode our bikes over to Kailua Beach to watch the fireworks. Kailua Town has their show on Flat Island so that everyone can watch from the shore. It was a good show. And it was short. Ben’s bike tire had a blow out, and he is too big to ride on the back of someone’s bike, so I had to ride on the back of my dad’s bike. I called him my horse. 😂

We kayaked out a lot of miles today in the ocean. Sam & Ben each had their own kayaks, but I had to ride with my parents in a ginormous kayak. At least I didn’t have to paddle. We all fell out every time we tried to land on a beach. But we landed on a island beach with monk seals! It was a bird sanctuary, so there were a lot of random eggs everywhere too. It was a fun day. Now we are hungry. And sunburned.

We went on a catamaran cruise today & did some more boogie boarding, which are both way better than hiking.

We love Mike! We were pretty stoked to meet him. We are really glad that Diners, Drive-one & Dives introduced us to Mike’s Huli Chicken Truck (now a bus, on a plot of land with many other food truck offerings) so many years ago. The huli chicken & Kalua pork are worth the drive around the island, but the atmosphere is very island-y also. Mike is super awesome! He has a lot of “aloha in his heart.” Armstrong & Armstrong Mike's Huli Chicken

This snowy mountain appeared on the horizon & we all debated what we should call it. So, I asked Siri “What is the snowy mountain in front of me?” And she KNEW! 😳
Anyway, here is a pic of Humphrey’s Peak in Flagstaff, AZ from the road.

We found a fun place to eat in Albuquerque last night. The ice cream place gets mixed reviews from these roadtrippers, 1.5 in favor, and 3.5 who won’t return. This spicy chocolate concoction scored a half vote & Ben’s espresso ice cream thing scored the only whole vote. It was a fun place to watch the sunset & to eat some stuff with green chilies on it.
