The weather forecast is excellent for the next 7 days, so tomorrow I go to Valley of Fire State Park, just north of Las Vegas. I doubt I will have cell phone service for a couple of days.
As I plotted my route from Valley of Fire, I picked Lee’s Ferry because I like it, the Page National Recreation Area because it’s free, and Navajo National Monument because I haven’t been there. All three are run by either the NPS or BLM, and are no doubt subject to shutdown next week. So if the toddlers in DC can’t get over their hissy-fit quick, I’ll have to make adjustments.
