Down Under

Up until this morning, we really had no plans for after Memphis, just the quickest route home. But then I noticed that Mammoth Cave in Kentucky was a possibility. The longest known cave in the world, it couldn’t be missed. So that’s where we headed, arriving at the delightfully run-down,...

Eastward Ho!

Yes, I’m a bit behind in the blogging, and the downside of that is that it is difficult to remember the details. Not the big stuff, but the little stuff like … where the hell were we on Wednesday? Ah yes, we started in Kansas City, MO. And we drove east, arriving in St. Louis just around...

A Little Night Music

We crossed into Arkansas – quick, stop for a photo, but keep moving. We crossed into Tennessee – quick, stop for a photo, but keep moving. Yes, we were going to make it, with 3 minutes to spare (seriously) when, disaster struck in the form of … a wrong turn. Yes, a single wrong turn got us to...

A Day On The Road

This will be a short update because today was nothing but a long, long, long day in the car, driving from Denver to Kansas City, Mo. Lots of driving, punctuated by only two stops of any note: Fort Hays, Kansas (where there is an EnerSys plant, and where my friend Katherine went to school) and...

Relax and Reload

For nearly the first time since the trip began, Jordan was up without any prodding and quickly packed. If there was any doubt last night that she was ready to go home, it was resolved. She wanted to go home. So, we drove to the airport, again in silence but, this time, not an angry one. I...

A Very Bad Day Saved By Very Good Friends

Well, if I thought things were improving with Jordan, I was wrong. As planned, since Jordan has never seen snow, our morning was set to begin with a 9 a.m. ride up with Jake up the Gondola to the top of Jackson Hole, were there was breakfast of waffles and nutella (Jordan’s proclaimed...

Meeting Up

A much more active day. We were up almost at dawn and on the road by 7 a.m. This was intentional, as we had plans to meet Gary, Leslie and Jake for an 11 a.m. float down the Snake River. As I had received estimates of the time it would take to get to Moose of between 3-1/2 and 6-1/2 hours, I...

Ready and Relaxed

Today was a relatively relaxed day, so not much of interest to report. We slept in, and then drove a few Miles up the road to another ranch for a 2 hour trail ride, which took us across several small streams and up the side of one of the canyon walls for some very nice views. Then, it was...

Geysers and Springs

Back into Yellowstone with one destination in mind – Old Faithful. So, it was back on the highway 30 Miles to the East Entrance, then 27 Miles past Yellowstone Lake, then 21 Miles to West Thumb (see where I’m going with this? Even reaching this trip’s destination does not mean the end of...
