it's 4:20 somewhere
Day 35 – lazy day We might have booked a bit too long in Sundance…but we also padded rest time into our trip (along with short/easy driving days). We started the day with a Dutch Baby, which is like an enormously fluffy pancake/crepe. Thank you, Acre Homestead, for teaching me what these are! Day 36…
Day 33 – Ranchester to Sundance WY Yes, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Several of the streets here are their names. We went out for a steak dinner. At sunset, we drove up to a fire watch tower looking for a view of Devil’s Tower. E climbed the stairs as far as you are…
Day 30 – Livingston MT to Ranchester WY Our drive through the Crow reservation was beautiful and peaceful. My (L) grandmother would have been so happy for us as that was a big part of her ancestry. It was important to her and seeing it touched me deeply. We found our tiny campground and our…
Day 27 – Anaconda to Livingston MT Our drive was wholly uneventful except for a recycling stop that made us go through a tunnel that was just barely big enough for the rig. I (L) might have held my breath. After Bozeman, we drove by the Montana Grizzly Encounter. The billboards made it look kinda…
Day 24 – Saint Regis to Anaconda MT Ugh at construction. And EFF YOU at some construction contractors putting the cones a few feet into our lane, leaving us no wiggle room for when the wind gusts. I (L) hit four of them. I ran one completely over. Lots of others were down, too. And…
Day 18 – Randle to Moses Lake WA, the hitchhiker Yet another beautiful drive! This time along the edge of the National Park and along a river with a very large lake. Per my (L) request, we stopped at a wide spot in the road where the Pacific Crest Trail crosses the highway. We’ve both…
Day 16 – Portland OR to Randle WA The drive was easy, short, and very pretty, but we had to pass up Mt. St. Helens due to a mud slide that closed the whole place. By the time we booked, we didn’t have any choices on our site, so of course we were in one…
Day 9 – change of plans, left Boardman early We were still on Stupid Other Time™ so we were up kinda early. Well, for us, really early. We hit that amazing breakfast (and it was great!), and were talking about what to do with too much time in Boardman. E called our next campsite and…
Day 5 – Snowville, UT to Boise, ID Our drive on a nicer stretch of highway made a big difference, but the wind was awful. As soon as we rolled into town, I (L) declared the need for ice cream. Lovejoy ice cream shop made quick work of that request. I ordered a double scoop…
Days 1-2 – Rawlins, WY Driving day We left a day earlier than originally planned for reasons. Just like last year, we saw a Miami Hurricane along our route. I wonder if it’s one of the ones we saw last year. We boondocked (with permission, of course) for two nights in a parking lot for…
