The Trip so far
This is a side blog for the maps of my trip so far. To return to the blog you came from, use your BACK key or click on the link to the right.
Day 34, The Trip So Far, 6824 miles, Glenwood Canyon, Colorado, on the grand Colorado River, the real end of Act IV
What a way to end Act IV! Even Donner thinks so. Tonight, for the first time on this trip, declined to go into the tent right after it was set up, or before it was finished being set up, as he is sometimes wont to do.
Day 14,:The Trip So Far , Mt Rainier National Park, 3495 miles. 264 miles to the Pacific and 1364 miles to the moon
Sadly, tonight marks the halfway point of On The Road 10, not counting the dreaded six-day journey eastward from the Rockies and my usual decompression period at a cabin in West Virginia or Western Maryland before arriving home in November. Tomorrow, Monday, we hope to make it to the Pacific coast, either to that black dot on the Washington shore or, several days later, the red dot on the Vancouver Island Pacific coast, but the latter would require at least six extra days, so i may have to pass on that. Where we go after several days on the Pacific coast i do not yet know. But we will go somewhere, God and Defender willing.
Day 13, trip so far, Emigrant Springs State Park, Oregon, 3179 miles, about 1180 to the Moon
Long drive today, 364 miles, but stunning once out of Idaho. Aimed to get into camp at 5, and made it at 540, just in time to complete the evening's outdoor activities and get in tent by disappearance of useable daylight. Wonderful camp, set in a pine grove forest, lots of tenters.
Day 7, As It Is Happening, On The Road to Wyoming
At a rest stop Heading toward Buffalo WY tonight. Now i start diverging from my route last year.(That's another story.) Just passed Mt Rushmore, also is another story. As for present stories, i discovered this morning that i lost the lid yesterday on my food container, 2nd thing from the right on the roof rack. I covered it with a tarp for the time being and picked up a new container at, you guessed it, a Walmart in Rapid City. It was my own fault once again. More on that latter. Now, time to get On The Road.
