Made it today to Page, AZ, near the Utah border. The plan tomorrow is to take a boat ride through a slot canyon, so I don't have to do a lot of hiking. Not my thing at 79. Or at 39, lol.

Got to see the eastern side of the Grand Canyon area this morning on my way out. Almost as awesome as yesterday, but the NPS picked the right spot for the main visitor center. Mather Point and Yavapai Point are the two best viewing sites, IMO.

Well, for now, my plan to ride a boat through Antelope Canyon has been scrapped. I have either a bad cold or really bad allergies. No way to tell. I think I'm going to sit in the trailer today and chill. Drinking hot tea seems to help. First time I've been under the weather since I left home.

Got any Vitamin C? OD on it. Seriously.

Yeah, I'm planning on stocking up on all the good stuff at Walmart on my way out of town tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, I'm finally leaving Arizona to go into Utah, my last state before heading back home. On Saturday, I will get to see Zion, probably my favorite park behind the Grand Canyon.

I'm skipping Bryce Canyon, b/c my trailer doesn't appreciate climbing 4000 feet up, then coming back down the next day. Neither do I, lol, especially when the temps are much colder, and it's already quite chilly in AZ in November.

And I have no interest in Capitol Reef, so it's going to be Zion, then on to Moab (a 2 day run), to see Canyonlands and Arches, then from Moab, the long trek back home (9 or 10 days) to Memphis. So a week from today, the journey back home begins.

Time flies when you're having fun. I've been on the road full time since Aug. 22. This old man is looking forward to a well deserved rest.

I had my Claude Code write instructions on how to host images on imgbb, we want to get to see some pictures from out west.

How to host an image on ImgBB from your phone and get the BBCode link

Free, no account needed. Use this when you want to put a picture in a post on a BBCode board.
Note: the screenshots were taken on a desktop browser. On a phone the page is laid out in one column, but the buttons and wording are the same.

What you need

• A phone browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc.)
• The picture on your phone (or take a new one)
  

Step 1: Open ImgBB
Go to https://imgbb.com. Tap START UPLOADING.


Step 2: Choose your picture
Your phone will offer: Photo Library, Take Photo or Video, or Choose File. Pick the image (or take one with the camera). You can select several at once.
The picture appears as a preview. Tap the x on it to remove it, or tap the preview to edit/crop.
Leave "Automatically delete image" on Don't autodelete unless you want the picture to expire.


Step 3: Tap UPLOAD
Scroll down a little and tap the green UPLOAD button. Wait for the progress bar to finish.

Step 4: Upload complete
You will see a green check mark and "Upload complete". Scroll down to the Embed codes box. It shows Viewer links by default, which is not what you want for a BBS.


Step 5: Switch to BBCode
Tap the Embed codes drop-down and choose one of:

• BBCode full linked - the full-size image, clickable. Best for screenshots.
• BBCode thumbnail linked - a small thumbnail that links to the full image. Best for big pictures or galleries.
  

The box now holds your BBCode. Tap COPY (or press and hold in the box, Select All, Copy).


Step 6: Clean up the code
The copied code looks like this:
ImgBB may add a second line of advertising link. Delete that second line before posting. You only need the first line.

Step 7: Paste into your post
Open your BBS post editor, long-press in the text box, tap Paste, and submit. Do not use the "Insert image" button, since the code is already complete. If you want only the picture without a click-through, use just the part.

Tips

• Without an account, ImgBB limits file size to 32 MB, and you cannot manage the uploads later. Save the BBCode somewhere (notes app) in case you need it again.
• Uploading the same file twice gives you the same link.
• Only upload pictures you have the right to share. Uploads are public to anyone with the link.
  

Thanks. I'll work on it when I have more time. Everything is hard for me right now b/c I'm so exhausted. It's time to take this old horse back to the barn, lol. Problem is, I have at least 2 1/2 more weeks before I make it back to Memphis.

I have been out on the road full time since August 22, with no breaks, other than forced weather delays.

If I have some time and I'm feeling extra frisky before I get home, I'll sit down and learn it. Just not important to me for now, and I can't remember anything for more than 2 minutes.
