West Trip 2008

14 day trip

It was a really long drive. We got a late start Thursday and drove through storms so we didn't get as far as we planned. I couldn't drive any farther so we pulled off in Stuart, Iowa. All the hotels were full. I couldn't drive any more so we spent the night in the car in the McDonald's parking lot. I woke up at 6 and we headed out. The drive through Nebraska was so boring we thought it would never end, but it was a beautiful drive up the mountain through Roosevelt National Forest to Estes Park, <B>Colorado</B>, where our campground is. We're feeling much better now after getting cleaned up. After we ...

31 day Road Trip West 2008

31 day trip

Our first day on the road took <B>us</B> north on highway 395 along the eastern Sierra Mountains. That roadway, I think, is one of California's most beautiful highways. The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range rises straight up alongside the west side of the road with many of the highest peaks in the range visible along the way. As we made our way, we stopped at the Lone Pine Visitor Center for a bathroom break and to stretch our legs. There we browsed the bookstore and took in spectacular views of Lone Pine Mountain and the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. After heading back on the road, just a few minutes nor...

Our trip to usa

29 day trip

The John May Museum of Natural History: I personally thought it was very cute (and very quaint). It is a legacy to one man's work, though it does say it's only about half his work. It is a display of lots of bugs. The word bug though doesn't give due credit to this display. It is a wide array of color, shape, and disversity. It is not a very big building, but the outward architechture follows the areas red clay features. I loved going to each display (that are crammed into a smaller than the display room) and looking at each frame, but the rest of my family wasn't overly impressed. It is a kid...

tour de Colorado Springs

8 day trip

Our trip route on Google Maps. I'll admit it - I'm a maximizer. Why else would I build an entire family roadtrip to the Southwest in late spring based solely on the fact that National Car Rental had a great one-way rate for just about any sized vehicle from Phoenix to Denver. I scored a mid-sized SUV, and all the plans fell into place from there. Of course, that meant two one-way flights (usually more expensive) for the four of <B>us</B>, and oh yes, to fit in a trip of any real length, we'd have to leave on Bryson's last day of school and be home just 7 days later so that Bryson and I could immediat...

Southwest Trip - Phoenix to Denver

8 day trip

Today is my final planning/prep day for my trip. Means putting stuff in storage and buying supplies, food etc and maybe taking my motorcycle for a ride since it will be lonely all summer long. Today i left Denver at 6:30, having showered (important) and ariving at Hanging Lake about noon. It is Exit 121 off I-70 and a decent 1 mile hike up to a lake and waterfalls. Worth every step. There is an upper fall and three lower ones in a lush green/blue clear lake which runs down the side of the mountain eventually ending up into a creek. The upper waterfall is about 100 ft high and you can walk arou...
