First trip I'd suggest driving a comfortable car, the distances are pretty long obviously, and then you could spot where you might want to Jeep later.
First time we went to OR we went in the Jeep... 12 hr each way. At the time the wife was still leasing, so we had to watch her mileage closely while my Jeep was owned and paid off. It's certainly not the most comfortable vehicle for that trip, but then again... She had a BMW 328i at the time, so the Jeep was probably much more comfortable lol ;-) 

But the big question might be "do we take the puppy", and if so, trying to actually carry *ANY* luggage and the puppy in a 2 door Jeep Wrangler with a trunk about big enough for a briefcase might simply not work. 

If we didn't take the dog it would probably be an easier decision to take the Jeep.

Hmm... Zion is only about a 7 hr drive from here. Maybe that should be a little COVID getaway for my wife and I. While I've been to Utah a few times, it's always been the SLC area, and then only for business. And I'm pretty sure she's never been to Utah anywhere.

Then the question is whether to take the Jeep and plan on doing some off-roading, or just try to make it a scenic (from the roads) trip...

It is right down the road from me, and there are quite a few Californians that also had your idea. So many that they have had to close down the park a few times. And they don't close much around here. 

I believe that it is currently open, but I am not 100% on that. From the Bay Area, consider US Rt 50 across Nevada. Near the Utah border there will be a Highway that will guide you SE towards Zion (numbered 487 in Nevada, then 21 in Utah). Eureka or Ely, NV would be the best place to stop for a night, along that route.

Austin Peay plays @ Central Arkansas tonight. 

It might not be much, but it IS college football.

Good point. California's do tend to ruin it for everyone lol.


I'd be coming from SoCal though, so I'd be coming up I-15.

The best part of that drive is through the Virgin River Gorge in Arizona. 

Zion and the Grand Canyon are of course among the most visited National Parks. There are other National Parks in the area that are among the least visited in the United States. Great Basin National Park in Nevada is a prime example. It contains the highest mountain in that state and has hot springs, caves and canyons out the yin yang, and nobody goes. You have the whole place to yourself more or less. Free camping. Crazy star gazing. The works.

Now I want to go to Utah, again.  I miss not traveling, a lot.  I made a chunk of money this year and can't spend it.

Ohio State defensive tackle, Haskell Garrett was shot last night.

His injuries are not life threatening and not much is known at this time regarding the circumstances.

Hope he's ok. The reports coming out of this have been weird

I haven't been to Utah in decades and didn't spend much time there

I'd rather spend a week or so in Utah than someplace outside the USA

Well, that depends for me on where outside the US.  Utah is probably my favorite state to visit of the lower 48.  I've been to every state but ND.

Our travel agenda for this year HAD included Istanbul, St. Petersburg, Copenhagen (for snuff), Helsinki, Stockholm, and Talinn, plus Hawaii.

Now we are o-fer.  We might do Brazil in November.

Delta One tickets are $2500 for Brazil, less than half the usual price.

We were going to hit the Eurocup 2020 this past June.  Starting in Budapest, then Croatia, then Greece.  

That trip obviously got scrubbed but perhaps we'll be able to do it in the summer of 2021.

I rolled through 50 earlier this year. Stopped by Arches the day prior and wish I'd had longer to be there.
