I’m going to explore North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. A rough storm, 3 days without a shower, uncooperative can opener, and having a hard time finding a place to sleep… but still loving every second. I’m visiting the Capital, Salem Sue, Painted Canyon, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
I don’t want to leave Florida, but I need to get back to Colorado. Leaving Florida, I visit Holly Hill Gnome Tree, and I block ticks on a hike in the woods at Devil Mill Hopper. In Georgia, I have a hamburger at the original Chick-fil-A Dwarf House. I try to stay cool while car camping in the summer heat and try to ditch the summer crowds. I visit the World’s Largest Fork, the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden, and the World’s Largest Small Appliance Museum in Missouri. In Kansas, I return to Castle Rock Badlands and Monument Rocks… This time I learn how to see cleary… and I also realize how much I love my life, my van, and getting older. Life is good. ❤️❤️❤️
Introvert traveler in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and conquering my fear of heights. I made it to Cruger-dePeyster Sugar Mill Ruins, Old Fort Park, and I challenged myself at the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse. Once the rain started, I made my way to Boondocks for a late lunch. The rain was off and on, but it kept coming. I’m looking forward to part 2!
As I head West through Arizona, I’m making life changes. I hike through Petrified Forest National Park and work on my 10K steps, drive through the Wigwam Motel, stand on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, and check out the Meteor Crater all before I make my way to Sedona for a few days of car camping, hiking, and getting some help with sleep.
Low-key road trip with an early morning hike, some unexpected stops and “world’s largest” everything! Feeling introverted… Some days… Life on the road… 😊 Worth it! 100%
Wisconsin is beautiful! I made a few roadside attraction stops, checked out a cheese shop, and did some car camping at a truck stop. EXCITED for tomorrow’s ADVENTURE!
I had a hot night of car camping at Walmart, drained all three of my fans trying to stay cool, and did some dash cooking while driving.
After finding my spot for the night, a good meal, and a good night’s sleep, I decided to stick around for The World’s Largest Time Capsule. What a wonderful experience! This road trip brought back so many childhood memories. And of course, John Wayne!
Solo road trip leaving Colorado to explore the World’s Largest Time Capsule in Seward, Nebraska. I struggled because I’m so introverted and have a hard time with crowds… Stressing myself out before the event even happened… Not the best way to live. lol 😄 I also had a hard time finding a place to car camp for the night.
