This has been the most remarkable trip we have ever taken. While three months may sound like a long time, it really flew as we jumped from place to place and made side trips wherever we wanted. We visited 20 states and drove a total of 11,077 miles!
We arrived home safe and sound yesterday. Kudos to our Ford Explorer! She came through without a warning light illuminating or a tire going flat. You've got to love those cars made in the USA!
I had purchased quite a few tee shirts on our last road trip two years ago, and I had intended not to buy so many on this trip. But I lost control because of all the outstanding options available, as you can see.

Traveling with Joan is a lot of fun because we share so many interests, like rivers, mountains, national parks, battlefields (not so much), mansions, architecture and state capitals. We also shared our 43rd wedding anniversary along the way and re-upped for another year. That, despite the fact that she almost killed me in Boulder, Colorado when we took a side trip to Cheyene, Wyoming on my assurance that it would be a quick trip that ended up taking the entire day, rather than relaxing in Boulder. What can I say? It seemed like a good idea at the time.
