On our way into the State of Colorado we stopped by the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park close to the town of Montrose and visited its Southern rim.

Welcoming Herbie to colorful Colorado!

Touring Utah’s State Route 128 – a scenic byway along the Colorado River.

The views over the canyons of Canyonlands National Park in Utah are always worth a trip! It looks a bit like we were stranded on Mars.

Traveling across the picturesque Navajo Nation, the largest native American territory.

Actually called ‘Canyon de Chelly’, this canyon is one of our most favorite ones and is located in the Northeastern part of Arizona within the Navajo Nation.

Touchdown! We made it!
After making a detour to Mexico, we finally returned back to the United States of America.

We are so happy to be back after our last journey to the US was cancelled in April due to Trump’s travel ban and flight cancellations.

Herbie’s World Tour can now be continued…

After ten years of residing in America, Herbie No. I eventually got a “home”. In 2010 we shipped Herbie from Australia to the United States in order to travel the entire Americas. Since that time our Love Bug was exposed to the outdoors until we just bought a 40 ft container as a garage for Herbie and the camper. Special thanks go to our dear friend Randy, who managed this deal for us and who became Herbie’s host years ago!

Unfortunately we couldn’t visit the US this year so far, but we hope to be able in autumn. We look forward to opening the container and seeing Herbie again. Stay tuned!
