This should have been Dan's senior class photo. |
Mile 10,040, Casper, Wyoming: Brother Dan and I have been road tripping together for 10 days now. With a little help from the friendly Canadian border patrol, we decided to re-route our path to south of the CAN-US border. The gorgeous beaches of Oregon; the solitude and majesty of Hells Canyon and Craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho, and Grand Tetons, WY; free camping in an abandoned, ripe orchard with a fearless Mule Deer herd, a swimming moose, a fat black bear and a nightly diving swallow air show; savoring Tillamook cheese curds and Ore-Ida tater tots close to the source; and our obsession with beating the other in a newly-invented license plate identification game have filled our days with much oo-ing and aw-ing, lots of laughs, great conversation and debates, and, of course, a few new friends. (BTW, Dan’s winning the License Plate game, but not by much...there’s still time! But with him siting a U.S. Virgin Islands plate!?! Hard to beat that! Where are you, Guam?!)
7th grade sense of humor still in there! |
We have 3-4 more days to reach St. Paul, Minnesota. Today’s agenda in Douglas, WY: tubing a river with some locals and checking out the Wyoming State Fair! A wish come true: time to don the Stetson and check out those cute Wyoming animals. Demolition Derby, anyone?
