Originally Mid-June, 2014 and the day before my daughter returned to the USA to reunite with her Californian boyfriend and attend his UC College graduation ceremony. Then, basically, it will be the two of them spending the next six weeks visiting, revisiting and exploring several of the more westerly and south-westerly States, including yet more of California’s west coast and its State Park plus sizeable portions of Nevada, Arizona and Utah….Not to mention a carefully planned 350 mile drive across the Mohave Desert and a very special hotel-based stay of several days in the breathtakingly spectacular Zion National Park. She’s absolutely hooked on US National and State Parks (I wonder where she gets that from) and they may even try to squeeze in a few days hiking in Yosemite before she finally returns to the UK sometime in August.
