Day 10 (4/4/21): Happy Easter Skiing Solitude!

Today we drove back up to Solitude to ski for the day. It was a beautiful sunny bluebird day. We headed out early to get some good snow before it warmed up too much. We had some great runs! Until it got really slushy. So we called it a day around noon. 


Back at the camper, we joined several other tail gaters and had our lunch. The vibe of spring skiing and easter was all around. The people across the parking lot from us were blowing  bubbles for everyone who walked by. We enjoyed lunch in the sun before heading out. 

On our way back into town, we ran a few errands. Then went to park back at the Boondockers place to chill for a little bit before heading back out to dinner. We were meeting an old high school friend of mine who happens to live in Salt Lake now! She's the one who let us crash Thursday night for a shower. 

We met at a pub for dinner - and it was great to see her and catch up. It was also my first time eating indoors at a restaurant in over a year! I definitely felt weird about it. Even though I am 80% vaccinated. I could tell I felt weird and it had been such a long time too when I totally screwed up my order! Oh well. 

Afterwards we went back to the boondockers site to crash for the night. It was a busy day and we were exhausted. Tomorrow, would be another long day - driving to Colorado!

Day 18 (4/12/21): Mammoth Cave National Park

Image
Today, I woke up at the cracker barrel. I woke up, got myself ready, made breakfast, and hit the road by 7am. Today I'm headed to Mammoth cave National Park!  On the road I stopped in Evansville, Indiana which is a little town on the river. I went for a short walk just to stretch my legs and breakup the drive. Then, I continued on. Kentucky was a beautiful state! I had no idea. There were rolling hills, lush green grass, and colorful trees.  As I was driving on this windy narrow hilly road through the back woods of Kentucky, it was quite the trip. All of a sudden as I'm going up a hill and around a corner, a pickup truck going towards me has a guy in the backseat behind the driver frantically waving a red flag out the window. So I (with like 5 cars behind me), slow down and start to pull over. My first thought was tractor? Animals? What on earth am I supposed to do? Does anyone else know what to do? What's everyone else doing? So i looked in my rear...

Day 17 (4/11/21): St. Louis Archway!

Image
This mornin, I woke up in the Dillons store parking lot, got myself ready, went into the store to pick up a few inside forgotten the night before, and then hit the road again. I had another long day of driving ahead of me. However today, was the first day that I didn't know where I would end up tonight. Neither the city or my location of where I'd be sleeping. I was just trying to get as far as I could. So I was on my way and I made a few stops along the way.  I decided to go to the St Louis Arch as I passed through Saint Louis. Which I didn't know was also a national park! Driving into downtown Saint Louis is a little dodgy not knowing the city and driving this huge camper rig. Sometimes it feels small to me and other times it still feels giant. I found my way down to the arch; however, it was a two-way narrow road along the riverfront between the arch - and of course, there were horse-drawn carriages also walking down this little narrow parkway! Then, only to find at the ...
