Another Land Trip Across Several States

I just came from another looooonggggg trip. Yes we did a landtrip from the west coast to the east coast. We were on the road for a month. It is quite a challenge trying to plan what clothes to wear and what food to eat, and sometimes where to stay for the night, as we would just play it by ear, depending on which place we would have to stop for the night.

Our first destination was Yellowstone National Park. This is my second time to visit the place. Still it has not failed to amuse me for the various scenic spots and wildlife you encounter while you are in the park. Then we proceeded to the Devil's Tower National Monument where I got bitten by a nasty bee!!! Then we went to Kevin Costner's Tatanka the Story of the Bison, then proceeded to Circe B Chuckwagon for a buffet dinner in a chuckwagon.

South Dakota was our next destination, and we visited the Badlands, Minuteman Missile, Wall Drug and Mt. Rushmore. Then we stopped by Iowa and went on a veryyyyyy long trip to Boston. We then stayed in Cape May New Jersey for a few days, then went to Washinton DC, St. Louis Missouri, Galena Kansas and Oklahoma. Yes we are taking Historic Route 66.

Then we went to Amarillo Texas, Albuquerque New Mexico, Mesa Verde Colorado, Hoolbrook Arizona. Petrified Forest, Painted Desert and Grand Canyon in Arizona. Zion, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Arches National Park, Canyonlands and Dinosaur National Monumet in Utah. Then we headed for a long trip back home.

Yes it was a long trip and very expensive one too! I just wish the other people involved in the trip would realize how some of my hard earned money were spent on this trip. Read full post...

From the West Coast to the East Coast

This summer, I had the opportunity to see several places here in the US. Our first stop, Yellowstone National Park. I will never forget this place. Being on top of an active volcano for the first time is a one of a kind experience. Seeing geysers and land formations with magnificent colors, and not to forget the bears and the wolves we saw. The herds of bisons that got us caught in traffic. Cute little chipmunks that beg for food.

We also passed by Wyoming where we saw Buffalo Bill Dam and the Devils Tower. Then proceeded to South Dakota for Mt. Rushmore, and of course we did not dare skip the very famous Wall Drug. We also saw the Minuteman Missile. Iowa was also part of our route, then we proceeded to Kansas where I met up with my college friend Edith.

Oklahoma was our next stop, where we passed by places hit by tornadoes in the past. Then we got went to Texas to see the buried Cadillacs, and moved to Sta. Fe New Mexico. We saw a lot of Indian crafts along the way.

Arizona was also memorable with its Petrified forest and the Grand Canyon. After which, we proceeded to Utah for Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Finally, we dropped by Las Vegas Nevada to see some shows.
