Back home in Kenosha, WI and the adventure has come to a finish for now. Unpacked the car and now time to rest. Further unpacking and cleaning for tomorrow. Thanks to my family for everything on this trip, all the great people I met on the road, and the National Park Service and staff for … Read more
Pulled off for my 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… Author’s note: I am revisiting old posts from my 2016 road trip because I posted all … Read more
Adventure comes in all forms, and today it took the shape of a gastronomical trek. The giant Waffle House sign called my name like a beacon of gluttony. We don’t have these in Wisconsin and probably for good reason. $11 dollars worth of shame and sadness was the outcome. Pecan waffle almost saved the day … Read more
My concern on this part of the return trip has been to make miles and quickly. Because of that there was nothing to share in Amarillo, Oklahoma, or most of Kansas besides large fields of nothingness. Possibly one of the most boring drives ever. I-435 in Kansas City may also be the worst road I … Read more
Quick overnight stop at the Fifth Season Inn in Amarillo, Texas. Booked last minute while on the road for $40, not bad. Only downside is this clown in the white truck parking super close to my car then sitting there with his door open basically touching the bump strips. Entire rest of the parking lot … Read more
The start of my return journey home begins with a short cruise east from Las Cruces on US-70 to White Sands National Monument. Known for its very rare almost pure white sand dunes, it seems almost out of place compared to the other local landscape. Interesting fact: at 275 square miles, it is the largest … Read more
As you may have guessed by my other posts and this blog as a whole, I have always been interested in photography. My goal was always to try and capture images from my trips while not consuming the whole experience – that is to say, I wanted to live in the moment rather than focus … Read more
After several weeks of travel and about 5,000 miles driven, I arrived in Las Cruces, NM and reunited with my family. Took one day off to rest and prepare for the elk hunt season. My Dad drew a bull tag for NM unit 34 which is located in the Lincoln National Forest. Based on intel … Read more
First time driving Santa Fe south to Las Cruces. Enjoyed seeing all the different mountains along the way. Didn’t spend much time in Las Cruces, and what little time I was there was spent catching up with family and preparing for elk hunting. After the hunt I was gifted some Hatch green chiles to take … Read more
My sister Jordan suggested while I was in Santa Fe to visit a cool art exhibit called Meow Wolf. George RR Martin, creator of Game of Thrones, is the landlord and Meow Wolf is the art collective which has created an amazing immersive experience that can really only be described through the photos. You start … Read more
