The mountains of Missouri, the lakes and farm in Oklahoma, the purple cliffs and delightful but desolate lands of New Mexico, Arizona mountains and canyons and the ocean up and down the Pacific Northwest Freeway in California. My head continues to be spinning.

I hiked in 7 completely different Nationwide Parks from Eisenhower simply north of Dallas to Purple Rocks in Nevada, the Grand Canyon in Arizona, noticed the most important tree on earth within the Sequoia Nationwide Forest in California to the Petrified Forest, to Palo Duro Canyon exterior Amarillo. It was a life altering journey all the best way round. (I noticed somebody talked about the price of park entry. Fortunately, I’ve a lifetime America the Lovely go that permits me entry to all of the parks.)

We acquired again to Texas yesterday. And tomorrow I start home/canine sitting for every week for one in every of my brothers.

Extra updates to return…however needed to drop in a say Hi there. I’ll get the full journey prices calculated and posted over the following week. The gasoline was excessive, as anticipated. However automobile tenting was free. I took loads of meals for each Addie and I. So for being gone so lengthy, it actually wasn’t horrible. And as I’ve at all times thought…I LOVE automobile tenting, even for an prolonged interval.
