We left Twin Falls this morning at 8:30…not too bad for us! We had a little over 300 miles to go to get to Green River, WY where we were going to overnight before making it the rest of the way home. The drive was pretty uneventful and so I took the opportunity to reflect on all the adventures we’ve had together with Ava and The Beast.
196 days of adventure to be exact. Did you hear that? One hundred and ninety six days!!! That blows my mind! We’ve been to forts, caves, deserts, planetariums, star parties, beaches, presidents houses, battle sites, monuments, memorials, parks, capitol buildings, mountains, rainforests, cities, skyscrapers, estuaries, islands, rivers, canyons, arches, bridges, boats, kayaks, ferries, plantations, towers, lakes, zoos, museums and probably more. I’ll have to figure out the exact number but we’ve driven close to 20,000 miles in The Beast, the majority of which he was pulling Ava. At about 10 miles to the gallon and high diesel prices….well, you can do the math but don’t tell me the dollar amount please. Because, it doesn’t matter. Those 196 days exploring this country with my family was worth more than any amount of money.
