Day 19 Kodak Moments

Day 19

Tuesday: On the road again...we planned on either getting home today or taking another day, depending on the driving fatigue. We had it all weatherwise today: snow, sun, clouds, wind, snow...yes the cars are dirty!

Our scenery today was as varied as the weather. Picture the Snake River, Powder River, Grand Ronde River and then to top it off, the Columbia River Gorge. Along the way we saw lots of windmills, feedlots, cattle, horses and lots of trucks.

We finish our Route 66 adventure with many special trip memories and treasured time with friends. 467 miles driven today.

Trip Statistics:

19 days

13 states visited

5047 miles driven

Too many burgers and club sandwiches, but who's counting!

Precious memories.

For everything else there is VISA!

Thanks for joining us as we definitely did "get our kicks on Route 66".

Bob, Donna, Ted, Joan, Gary and Kathy

Day 19 - We Are Home

There won't be a Blog tonight...we all arrived home safe and sound, but Gary and Kathy discovered a leak in the house when they got home. So, they are out of their house and in their 5th wheel for a "time". I don't think we will have Internet out there, so I will try to work on the blog in the next few days and post some final pictures. Thanks for following along with us.

Day 18

The road west went from Rock Springs, WY through Utah and into Idaho. Yes, it was a long day...about 450 miles. Enroute we saw landscapes that looked almost like the moon, snow fences, Little America (and no we didn't stop for the 50cent ice cream cones), windmills, sheep, horsescows, feed lots and antelope. We made one needed stop in Echo, UT for gas and there was no longer a gas station there. We almost thought we were on Route 66 again! Bob had to use his 5-gallon can and Gary had to use the outhouse! It seems that we were easily entertained today.

We made one stop at Ft. Bridger, WY to see the fort that was named after Jim Bridger. For those of you who don't know, Gary & Kathy's littlest grandson is named after Jim Bridger, so it was interesting, but very cold! Our outside tour was shortened a bit due to the weather.

We stopped for lunch in Brigham City, Utah and are staying tonight in Mountain Home, Idaho. It seems we are only about 8 hours from home. Our group is all ready to get home, but it is a good kind of ready to be home. It has been a very special trip for all of us. And no mechanical problems today!

Adios from Mountain Home Idao
