[personal profile] capricious_k and I have dubbed this fall the Season Of Adventure, and our story is being told in an episodic format. Episode 1 was, of course, the fabulous Philly Browncoat Ball. Now we're off for a 2-part extravaganza filled with giant animals, magic, beautiful scenery, and wilderness survival!

Episode 2 takes place in Disneyland. We're driving down tonight and spending the weekend, and will be joined by series regulars [personal profile] fresne and [profile] miss_emelia, and possibly a couple of special guest stars. I think it's been about 10 years since I was last in the park, and a lot of stuff has changed. The last time I was there the California Adventure didn't exist, and the retro-remodel of Tomorrowland hadn't happened yet. I'm looking forward to seeing the changes.

Then in Episode 3, our exciting 2-parter continues as K and I drive to southern Utah. We're spending a week stomping around in the desert, visiting Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon, the north side of the Grand Canyon, Arches National Park, and other points of destert-y interest. As y'all know I'm a mountain/winter person even though K is a warm/tropics person, so going to the desert in the fall outside of tourist season is my clever form of compromise.

I'm especially looking forward to seeing Zion Canyon. When I was a kid our family went to Bryce and Zion while we were driving through the region, but we didn't really have time to see Zion for more than a couple of hours. I remember it being a lot like Yosemite, but all red rocks. This trip we're hoping to devote a couple of days to Zion, so I'll be able to get a much better look.

Expect many, many photos after we get back. While I'm away I'll be keeping track of the internet and responding to emails via my iPhone (wherever there's cell reception), but I'm on vacation and the keyboard is small so don't expect any novellas.
