Last part of our trip 😞
Denver, Rocky Mountain National Park, Greeley Rodeo and Carnival, and Boulder.
The last 5 days of our trip went out with a bang. We were missing Sydney and Liam and in the end, only 1256 miles straight home and one more night in a Walmart parking lot in Omaha Nebraska. For those who have never driven 26 hours in 2 days through eastern Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, its a wonderful drive as long as you enjoy only farms, corn, cows, 95 degrees and 55 miles an hour on average.
Along with the expected 5,524 miles worth of events, we travelled through 2 oil changes, a new set of front tires, an upper radiator hose, an all expense paid trip in a tow truck 40 miles to the nearest town, 460 gallons of fuel (27 fillups) 6 bags of sunflower seeds, 2 rolls of duct tape, 3 uses of the cordless drill, 8 bonfires, 87 cans of traveller beverages, 4 nights in a walmart parking lot, 8 stops for groceries, one weld on the hitch, 3 nights camping in the rain, 8 national parks, 1,976 photos (oy), 6 hours of video,
2 arguments, going the wrong way 7 times, 36 souvineers, blah, blah, blah.
We thank everyone for coming along with us on the blog, and finally, we all felt this is a trip that every person on this earth should take, short or long.
Did I mention our a/c broke about halfway thru the trip?
