Hanging for the weekend
I'm spending the weekend with the Fosters, my really close friends - then I'll finish the trip on Monday.
Driving along
Fudge
I have a weakness for tourist traps, and fudge.
Respite
Took a day to get caught up on work and take pictures of Nut...
A little of a lot
I drove through bits of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas & Missouri. No pictures, because it was dark. Omaha was quite impressive at night, though!
South Dakota & The Badlands
Still going
Through the swamps, pine forests, deserts, eastern coastline & mountains - this car and my fuzzy co-pilot carry on. Ready for the adventure of the day!
Beautiful Sunset
Get gas whenever you can
Oh, deer
I checked them out while they tried to ignore Nut.
So windy!
Nut had to pee, and I wanted a picture of the two different mountain ranges. Almost couldn't open the door against the wind!
Stopped for the night
70 in Jacksonville, 7 here. 🥶 The little white dot at the top of mountain is Our Lady of the Rockies. https://mtstandard.com/news/local/watching-over-butte-a-look-at-our-lady-of-the-rockies-through-the-years/collection_385dd7ef-f0c3-59fa-969b-d1a5adb7615d.html
Four Lakes, WA
George, Washington 😂
Snow!
Time to go
We had an amazing and very productive week - getting Christy set up here. Now it's time for me to head home while the weather still allows it.
We're here!!!
We are safely in Seattle! Well, the Seattle area, anyway. The trailer has been returned to U-Haul & Kacey is going to stay here at least through Thanksgiving day. Once she & Nut head back to Florida, she'll start updating the map again.
Hotel stop
Stopping for the night - Nut is not interested in getting on the road again...

The trip of a lifetime
Taking off for our trip all the way scross the country.
What a night!
Whew! Driving through the mountains in freezing weather at night pulling a trailer for 136 miles was not high on Kacey's list of things to do. But we did it!!! Yay all-wheel drive!
Rainy weather
Today was our first day of rain during the entire trip - so we decided that this would be a good place to land for the night before heading back across the mountains.
Oregon Coast
Cute little town with amazing views of the ocean!
SAY CHEESE
After spending days in the desert, we decided to stop for ice cream while we are in the cold rain. Of course - it's the Tillamook Creamery, so who can resist? https://www.tillamook.com/
Pacific Ocean
Sleepy pup
Not sure what tired him out more - hiking at the Grand Canyon, or freaking out as we drove through the mountains!
😬 Switchbacks with a trailer
KC drove this like she had done it a thousand times
Desert flowers
First stop in California We picked flowers that will outlast any season (Pictures of said flowers coming soon)
Grocery stop
Easier to transport than wine If you want to know, just ask!
Prairie Dogs!
We got to see an entire colony of prairie dogs with one fierce lookout!
California
Scott
Grand Canyon
bigger than you think it is
Hotel room view
Pima cotton from Pima
This cotton is not as easy to pick as we make it look. We climbed over a BIG ditch to do it. Never second guess the determination of Curls.
Ghost town
A real live ghost town
Continental Divide
Rio Grande and the Roadrunner
Finally out of Texas!!!
Mexico
Grey bar hotel (police station)
