My preference will always be the US Routes over the Interstates.

I meander, it’s more relaxing to me. I understand that the long way can have the exact opposite affect on others though. Which is your preference?

🏎️ Get me there as quickly as possible.

Or …

🚶Take your time on the scenic routes.

If you want to see a bear 🐻 in Yellowstone it’s best to find a safe spot and relax. Often they’re right by you they’re just blending in with nature. Taking a moment to be still and watch, you can observe (from a distance) these amazing creatures. Yes, location and time of day increase your chances too. Slow down. Plan time and you too can make this dream a reality.

It’s the little things in life!

My smart watch is now showing elevation on my Lock Screen! Yes, I’m a nerd. Is anyone else constantly thinking about elevation?

BONUS: I am rotating several of my favorite pictures from previous trips. It’s a huge pick me up seeing them.

Last May we had the amazing experience of seeing the aurora borealis (“northern lights”) right here on our little farm in southwestern Iowa.

The southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. Gorgeous view. It’s a short hike from a nearby parking lot. 😉
