It’s been a journey the last few months. I have to take a look at my dash but I’ve traveled well over 5,000 miles since I left in May.
Quite a few things have happened since then. I made it through five different states and two national parks. A few national monuments too. I got stuck in the mountains with a dead alternator. I started rock climbing and fly fishing. And I met someone to share all of these experiences with.
It’s been good to have some time to rest. It’s one of those things where you’re not tired until you have an opportunity to feel tired. I was feeling fine when we were in Lander and on the way back to Colorado. But I took a few solid days to rest up when I got back in Arvada. It was nice to be a couch potato for a bit.
I brought the car to the mechanic to get everything checked out. Everything is looking good. This van has been such a blessing so far. I’m really thankful that I was able to find something that has been steady and reliable. Shout out to Dad for shopping around with me last year in Florida. It was frustrating but we found a good deal.
I spent some time this last week updating a few things in the van. I changed the kitchen set up a bit and added a fold-out table to the back door. It should be very useful with the grill. There were a few other things I wanted to add but I didn’t have enough time to get to them. I will do some more work when I get back in the fall.
The time has flown by so fast this past week. But I am excited to get back on the road again. It’s my happy place.
From here we will go to Cheyenne for a few days and check out the rodeo with the fam. And then from there, we will be in the Grand Teton/Yellowstone area with Mom and Dad for a few days.
