Road trip! Or, Road trips!
Makes me sorta wanna sing that ol' Johnny Cash song... Never mind.
I'll just write about it rather than sing.
Big Spring to Eugene - what a scene
Make no mistake Big Lake, Silver Lake, Crater Lake - for Pete's sake
Ferry rides, Mountainsides, landslides, train station, Navajo reservation, salutations - what in tarnation?
Portland, overland, underhand, contraband, promised land - what part of "no" don't you understand?
Sterling City, Jeff City, step on the gas - gotta hurry, it's Missouri - Enjoy the Journey!
I've been everywhere man!
Oh, lordy! What a summer it has been.
By the numbers:
10,550 Miles
5 Road Trips over 47 Days (July 3rd to August 18th)
489.2 Gallons of Gasoline at $1740.50
And I loved every mile of it.
From Home Base,
Trip 1: To Columbia MO via East Texas (See Summer Welcome blog) and back
Trip 2: To Big Lake, Texas to sit the North Sean '29' #2 Well (See Smarter than a Rock blog)
Trip 3: Back to the well for the running of electric logs on the Rocker b Ranch
Trip 4: To Canyon Lands National Park, Moab, UT, Boise, Idaho, Eugene, Oregon, La Conner and Anacortes, Washington, back to Idaho, Polson, Montana, Denver and back home (See Northwest Passages I - VII)
Trip 5: Freshman Dorm Move-In, Univ of Missouri and home via Mansfield, MO home of the Little House on the Prairie author, Laura Engels Wilder. (See Empty Nest)
Travel diary and photos to follow in coming blogs.
