Days 23 and 24 I arrived in Oklahoma City late, hungry and tired. It had turned into a good pattern of getting from point to point. I started driving later in the day, get to the city I wanted to see and venture out the next morning. Sunday morning, it was starting to get warmContinue reading “Slobberknocker”

Days 21-22 As I headed out of Nevada into Arizona the signs say, Dam closed. Dam it. I wanted to see the dam. The good thing about this trip is I’m not seeing it all. So, next trip to Vegas is a trip by the dam, dam it. I did get some good looks atContinue reading “I am the one who knocks..”

Days 19 and 20 As I left the Oregon coast, I knew I wanted to go to Albuquerque. That was the next goal. I stayed near the Oregon \ California border. From there it was time to stop at Weed, CA. I mean, you have to right? It was a one t-shirt shop town. IContinue reading “Hot tub time machine”

Days 17-18 The Dalls, Columbia River, Portland and Astoria. That drive along the Columbia River between Boise and Portland was amazing. It was great to see those cliffs, falls over the freeway. I wanted to get to the coast. I wanted to see sunset from the beach. I passed thru Portland and headed to Seaside.Continue reading “Truffle Shuffle”

Days 12-16 Nothing is more finer than being in Boise in the morrnnning.. or at sunset. I’m a sucker for a Boise sunset. Andrew, Kathy, Daniel and Sarah are my east coast family on mountain time. The great thing about Boise is location. Everyone is so active. You can bike, run and swim. You canContinue reading “Uncle Joey, west coast edition.”

Day 11 I awoke in my cabin. It was a cool, cold June day. The sun was trying to shine. I was enjoying a nice co cola zera and watching the bison play. It was nice to not have cell service till I turned my phone off and on. I guess I had not finishedContinue reading “Narnia”

Day 10 Leaving Bozeman the only thing I wanted was McDonald’s. Just some days you want an Egg McMuffin. Walmart was there so I decided to buy a dash cam. This way I would not be so bad of always wanting to hold the phone up when I drove. I was heading for Yellowstone. IContinue reading “Hold on to your butts..”

Day 9 I left Mt. Rushmore feeling amazing. It’s crazy what a shower will do. It had gotten cold the night before. It was in the 50’s but for just a sleeping bag, my former camping days was far behind me. Off to Devils Tower. Shout out to Mama Bailey for the recommendation. She saidContinue reading “Fins to the left”

Day 8 The middle part of the trip. It was about the only roadside attraction to must see! Mr. Rushmore. I leave camp, heading up the road past Crazy Horse. I had the radio on, you start to hear the lyrics. Skynard!! Window’s down and up the mountain. I got chills when I passed theContinue reading “Freebird!!!!”

Day 7 Packed up from Sioux Falls. Stopped by the post office and enjoyed my pop tart breakfast. The crazy of stoplights soon turned into quietness. I-90 was the plan. Roughly 400 miles across South Dakota. Some parts was down to one lane for construction. Rest of it, 80 mph posted speed limit. Michelle hadContinue reading “The cows are watching us”
