The End

Well it was a "long and winding road" and I had fun seeing old friends, family and I met some good folks along the way. I got home on Sunday June 14th. Its good to be home. All in all I was out and about for 5 weeks and traveled about 5578 miles through 16 states. I think I have taken care of my travel bug for a while. I would like to thank my 1998 Ford F150 for being an awesome truck. She has 136,000 miles and did a great job hauling me and my home.

This is the end of my road trip blog. I hope you enjoyed it.

Tuesday and Wednesday

Didn't get to post yesterday.
Tuesday I got up at 6 and left Devils Tower. I decided to take Interstate 90 home. There is a lot less traffic on this compared to I80. I stopped in Sturgis and also Wall Drug on my way through South Dakota. After that there is not much to look at and I was in a driving mood. I slept in the trailer at a rest area near Sioux Falls SD. Woke up at 1AM and decided to start driving. Drove across Minnesota and Wisconsin. Stopped at a Walmart in Oshkosh. Took a shower and started driving again. Got tired driving across the UP, so I pulled over in a roadside park and slept for a half hour. Got up and made it to the Cottage around 5PM today (Wed). Pictures below are from Devil's Tower.

Devil's Tower

Drove from Denver to Devil's Tower Wyoming.  Saw it before but wanted to see it again. I think it's one of the coolest things to see in the U.S. Staying at the D T KOA. They play the Close Encounters movie every night outside.

Trail riding

Sunday. Craig, Cindy, Robbie, Ashton, and I went trail riding on our ATVs. We got rained on. That's me in the picture. I'm leaving Monday morning. Going through Wy, S. D., Mn., Ws., then Mi. via the UP.

Day of Rest

Saturday. Taking a day off. Slept in and watching Motocross on TV with Craig and Robbie. Picture below is the view of Pikes Peak out the kitchen window.

Stingray

I got to drive Craig's Stingray today. Nuf said.

Night Drive

I woke up at 1AM and I could hear that hardly any traffic was on the highway. Couldn't get back to sleep. I kept thinking it would be nice to cross the mountains without traffic. So I did. I went as slow as I wanted. Arrived Craig's at 8:30 AM
