Pulled off for my (hopefully) last stop before home near Walcott, Iowa. Lots of corn here. LOTS. Apparently I found myself at Iowa 80 Truckstop (the world’s largest truck stop) so there’s that. My life accomplishments may have just peaked… […]
Adventure comes in all forms, and today it took the shape of a gastronomical trek. Like a beacon of gluttony, the giant Waffle House sign called my name. We don’t have these in Wisconsin and probably for good reason. $11 […]
Sorry no post for Amarillo, but for real it didn’t deserve one. Nothing to see on the way through Oklahoma or most of Kansas either besides large fields of nothingness. Possibly one of the most boring drives ever. I-435 in […]

Made it to my hotel in Sata Fe in one piece! Drive through the mountains wasn’t so bad after the first 100 white-knuckle miles down the mountains. Believe the pass I drove through was approaching 10,000 feet but grades were […]

After staying in Grand Junction last night out of necessity, it was a pleasant surprise to find Colorado National Monument located in the same city some 10 miles from my hotel. Did t have time to do any hikes, but […]
