Home

The horses were chomping at their bits as we left Denver on our last leg home. Having taken this road many times, the RV could have steered itself along the familiar Interstate 80 from Cheyenne, WY to Sacramento. To break the tedium we stopped in balmy Salt Lake City, temperature in the low 70s in mid November. We have done volksmarches here before but enjoyed a new route up along Temple Square, past the state capitol and more buffalo grazing and down into the lovely Memory Grove Park.

That evening was a bit chilly when we rewarded ourselves with one of our favorite SLC treats, dinner at the Red Iguana. This has become a tradition for us. We order a big dinner and get to enjoy it as leftovers the next night in Winnemucca’s Walmart parking lot. As we mentioned before, the theme of this trip (beyond Bennett) was to view the fall colors. Well surprise to us, the trees lining the street to our home are still ablaze with wonderful color.

Maybe we didn’t need to leave home after all. Okay, yes we did. This fall we traveled 5307 miles through 17 states on our fourth cross-country trip and managed few repeat visits (except DC of course). This is a big, fascinating country and we are privileged to continue to find new and exciting places to visit. The bonus has been the friends and family who we have spent time with and who have enhanced our travel. We are home for a few months and hope you will rejoin us when we head out in 2014. Happy holidays to all and a healthy new year.
