July 12th, 2007
After approximately sleeping for 6 hours in the car, we woke up around 6:30am and headed into Glacier National Park. As we entered the park, we decided to drive the Going to the Sun road to look for a campsite for the next four nights. We took pretty much an instant dislike to […]

This morning we found ourselves up and breaking down camp at 6:30. We were heading out to the Cave Trail by 7:40. We decided to skip some of the “caves” and focused on Indian Tunnel, which is a lava tube tunnel. At the end point of the tunnel, we had […]

Today we got up at 8:30am and took advantage of the free continental breakfast in the motel lobby. It had OK food. At least there was a variety to choose from. At 9am we did a much needed load of laundry and checked out of the hotel at 10:45. […]

Today didn’t start as early as we probably would have liked but we were in the car by 8am. This is pretty good considering how tired we both were. We filled up in Baker again and headed for Golden Spike NHS, which is located on the northern edge of […]

July 8th, 2007
Today we were up and adam at 7am and in the car by 7:25. After some debate we decided to remain at Baker Creek Campground tonight. The only issue we had was that we did not have the exact amount for the camping fee ($12 per night). So we improvised and […]

Day 1: Phoenix to Great Basin National Park

July 7th, 2007
Today was a very long day for us. As usual, despite all our best intentions, we went to bed sometime after 3am and got up at 5:20am. Needless to say we were very tired as we started our three week trip. To commemorate the beginning of our trip we took […]

We are back from our three week vacation and already busy at work. We had a blast traveling over 8300 miles through 17 states and 40 plus -mostly National Park Service- sites. Obviously there are lots of pictures and stories to share. Instead of trying to write a summary of the three […]
