The states we hit on this trip: Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Nebraska and Iowa. Totalling 5,061 miles.
As many have asked, we only had one tank of grease for the car, which we filled before we left home. Running a greasecar requires filtering of gathered grease, plus settling time. Unfortunately we didn't have the capacity to do either on this trip.
As you will read and see, this was a jam-packed trip, with many wonderful and terrible things. We're happy to have gone and happy to be home. (Our home was very tidy, as we cleaned it all up to put on the market before we left. What a treat to come home to an extra clean house!)

What a grand trip! Too bad it included the accident, but it appears there are a lot of good memorable events and moments for the family to share and remember.
ReplyDeleteApparently you brought back some of the southwestern heat with you:)
