I’m sorry this is late to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, but sometimes there’s no reception in the desert! 🤷‍♀️ I hope you all had a great day! I have so much to be appreciative of & thankful for, especially on this Thanksgiving Day 2021. 💝 One thing I know for sure, without any doubt,Continue reading “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Thinking that MAYBE I was finally closer to reaching civilization, I was enjoying the scenery, right up until I hit another rock. 😡 The now familiar, but gutwrenching scraping & thud made my heart sink again. Those are not the sounds you want to hear from your beloved car while lost on Day #3 inContinue reading “Tada Utah❣ Part 2”

We’ve made it to Utah!!! After continuously checking longterm weather forecasts for our route & speaking with a few people who had recently visited Utah, I made the decision to make a run for it. I’m not willing to take any unnecessary risks with the weather, so I won’t get to visit all of theContinue reading “Tada…UTAH❣”

I never knew there was a Las Vegas, New Mexico until we arrived there! I located a nice state park to camp in for several days, but again, Mother Nature had other ideas. The campground at Storrie Lake State Park had already transitioned to first come/first serve status for the season, so I drove aroundContinue reading “What Happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas! 😁”

My original goal for this journey was to visit several locations in Utah & then head south to avoid the cold weather of a New England winter.

We had truly enjoyed our visit to this specialContinue reading “You Can’t Fool Mother Nature!”

October 3-11, 2021 If you ever have the opportunity to visit Theodore Roosevelt National Park, I highly recommend it❣https://www.treehugger.com/theodore-roosevelt-national-park-facts-5193595 According to the preceeding article, “In addition to bison, the park is home to elk, wild horses, mule and white-tailed deer, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, badgers, porcupines and prairie dogs.” Apparently, everything except the bison, prairie dogs (https://www.nps.gov/articles/prairie-dogs.htm) & 2 deerContinue reading “My Little Tent on the Prairie 💝”

As the song says: April in Paris! How about Utah in April? Apparently Mother Nature didn’t approve of my plans for going to Utah. 🤷‍♀️ Wyoming & Utah are already in severe winter weather alert status. Soooo… Now I’m trying to maneuver us from here to somewhere south, as quickly & safely as possible, withoutContinue reading “Major Changes Ahead in Our Itinerary 🥴”

Wow! Maddie & I are already into month #6 of our amazing journey! This has been the fastest 5 months of my life! The most challenging thing so far has definitely been the lack of reception & internet access. I expected it to be intermittent, but I’ve had much longer stretches than I ever anticipated.Continue reading “October 7, 2021 Day #158❣”

Summer 2021 was absolutely, unquestionably the best summer of my life! This was the summer I will ALWAYS remember as the summer of possibilities, dreams coming true & enjoying adventures that I never expected! I’m sorry I’m so far behind on my blog updates!

Greetings from Wisconsin! I know I’m way behind on posting about our travel adventures, but I’ve been experiencing long periods of intermittent & poor reception. 🥴 I have several posts in varying degrees of readiness.
