Reflections
That was some trip Mileage, Mayhem & Laundry At 134 miles more than Route 66, Hunter and I completed 2,412 miles on this trip. That’s a lot of road. And now, there’s just so much laundry. Everywhere I look is laundry. And I know I must reorganize the closet. Like seriously, I need a whole…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Fifteen – Bozeman to Home
Well, it’s the last morning, and I don’t know if I’m sad that it’s over, happy to be going home, or just stunned that I actually did it — but those reflections will come later. After waking at Hilary’s (she and her boys had already absconded to one of their football games), Hunter and I…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Fourteen – Yellowstone: Grand Canyon of The Yellowstone & The Western Loop
We woke to Pacific Northwest levels of fog, so after a quick impromptu breakfast at the Canyon Village quick-serve, Hunter and I camped out in the parking lot at the North Rim Brink for the Upper Falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. After about an hour, we drove over to the South Rim’s…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Twelve – Yellowstone: Geysers, Springs, and Basins
Today was… a lot. Good, but a lot. When you plan and plan and plan, and then everything goes sideways, it can be hard — even when it turns out great. First, the alarm in our room sounded well before we had planned to wake… rude. I guess the people before us wanted to wake…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Eleven – Wandering Tetons to Moran
With no alarms to wake us, we made it to 6:30 and 7:00-ish for a chill day, which I think both of us desperately needed. We kicked off the rainy morning with coffee from The Snake River Roasting Company. Hunter thought he ascended to breakfast heaven with a vanilla donut and apple juice, and I…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Nine – Spanish Fork to Jackson Hole
Today we drove from Spanish Fork, Utah, all the way to Jackson, Wyoming — weaving in and out of Idaho a couple of times — but not before being met with a stunning sunrise right outside our hotel’s doors. In the early morning, I rounded a bend in Cedar Hills, Wyoming, and there was Bridal…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Eight – Bryce Canyon National Park (to Spanish Fork)
Honestly, there isn’t much to say about today… Bryce was different than I expected. It was more and better but different in a way that I can’t explain yet.We started with sunrise, literally a four-minute walk from our room (not as close as Monument Valley, but what are ya gonna do? We walked the rim…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Seven – Capitol Reef (Hanksville to Bryce Canyon)
Hanksville might be a little town, but our cabin at Duke’s RV Park was one of the nicest rooms I think I have ever stayed in. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the linens were super thick and soft, and the towels were so fluffy I am seriously considering calling the manager to ask where they…

Mighty Five +2 – Day Six – Moab to Hanksville
This morning we got to sleep in! Sleep we did… I actually made it to almost 7 o’clock, and I had to hurry Hunter along because I barely left enough time to pack the car! When we had arrived in Moab, I completely emptied the car to reorganize and readied everything last night, but waited…
