Signing on. I hope to get caught up one of these days. On a side note, I visited Bowling Green one summer in my teen years (just a couple of years ago). I remember going to Mammoth Cave.
Quite the view!
How could I not?! It’s tiny but I do love it!Quite the view!
Did you buy a blanket?
Absolutely!And... The resemblance between you two is pretty uncanny!
Being in the moment is always the best! Thanks for the sneak peeks and travel safely!I AM reading you comments as we truck along. We’re just over half way through this mega road trip and we’ve seen some incredible country. I have limited internet (my cell data is pretty much done) and it’s a lot of driving. I’ll keep posting a few teasers each day, but I’ll wait to reply until I get a bit more settled. Trying to live in the moment and appreciate what I’m seeing and doing.
Good! That's what you should be doing!Trying to live in the moment and appreciate what I’m seeing and doing.
A margarita in New Mexico... seems fitting.
Pretty shot, nicely framed.
Recognize that last one. Alamo, right?
Yep! The other The San Jose mission.Recognize that last one. Alamo, right?
It is SO high on my list. Now that I am further East and Canada is open to the US I hope it can happen sooner than later. I think a road trip up through our NE would be gorgeous in Fall and would most likely do it then.
I think any gamer who enjoys to cook would. There are some really interesting recipes in it that have an "olde world" feel and that use tons of funky ingredients like juniper berries and other spices I had to order.
My basket was upset yesterday when Greg and Marcia called and said they just aren't comfortable with travel right now and don't want to go. I am not upset per se realizing that everyone must do what they feel is best for them. However, it did mean some re-thinking on how we're gonna do some things.
Solution: I'm going to propose to Zach that some of our nights we'll camp along Forest Service Roads or other safer places here and there. My Nissan Rogue has fold-down seats so that we can easily sleep in the car. Unfortunately, it will require a bit of extra planning to find suitable places.
3) Two fewer people to have to please with eating and stopping.
Response: I'm not sad about this part, and it will actually end up saving us lots of money on food I think. Zach and I are more open to, and even happy about, picnicking or eating fast food for lunches and eating simply for breakfasts than they would have been.
G&M did say that they will be going there in January "no matter what". Not sure I understand that logic if nothing changes.
Nevertheless, my 10 or so boxes of clothes, knick-knacks, kitchen items, bedding, etc... will make its way there. Very sweet of them!
Also along the way on Day 5, we’ll stop at Peach Springs, Tribal Headquarters of the Hualapai Tribe. This is where we’ll get some lesser known views of the Grand Canyon area and some other interesting sites. I’ll let you Google it; you won’t be sorry.
Moreover, he says the water is pretty low right now and they are seeing a ton of HUGE (up to 50 lb. he says!) carp that have been jumping up and even OVER the boat.
I don’t know if this the swamp version of a tall tale but this is some lore I’m willing to see for myself! He said, “It’s a bit terrifying, but super cool!”. Sold!
ODAY’S THE DAY!!!
ADVENTURE IS OUT THEREEEEE!!!!
You might be asking if we are having fun. If your answer is "Yes," you'd be 1,000% right. Sing it with me now: America, the Beautiful....
Day 5 Sneak Peeks:
We just returned from our trip to Maine, from Portland to Bar Harbor, and we loved it! We are planning a return to visit more of Acadia National Park next year. It was too early for the fall color change but the weather was fantastic. Kids were back at school so the crowds were low and mostly retired people, like us.It is SO high on my list. Now that I am further East and Canada is open to the US I hope it can happen sooner than later. I think a road trip up through our NE would be gorgeous in Fall and would most likely do it then.
Yay me!Yep! The other The San Jose mission.
