Wow you visited all those states in one month??? That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy awesome. :) I'd been to all these states before, but never so many in so short a time. Seeing different states while they were all fresh in my mind made me notice how unique they all are. My favorite state is Oregon, but there's something likable about all of them. (Though I will never like Illinois, I can at least be nice. They do have dramatic thunderstorms and pretty wildflowers.)
ReplyDeleteIf I may ask, why did you travel to all these states such a short period of time? I'm envious! May I follow your blog?
ReplyDeleteWell, I've always traveled a lot. When I was a kid it was actually just for fun sometimes. If there was a national park within 500 miles, we'd always go see it. When I lived in Oregon, we went to parks in California or Washington every summer. :) The traveling is usually for some woefully practical reason now, but that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable anyway. I think it's fun to take new routes and see interesting places along the way. :)
ReplyDeleteThe reason for this trip was to go out and help my mom get settled in her new job in Oregon AND to look at land in the Northwest. The southern route on I-40 was a good way to avoid the snow in Wyoming. But instead of going up north through Nevada in the Death Valley area (which is isolated and dreary) I planned a route that would take us through the Sierras. It was a lovely trip. (Except for the part where my mom rear-ended us at a stoplight. :P) Then when we were done we headed back east on I-80. Wyoming is the best state on that route (I used to live there, too). Something about the badlands and wild emptiness is so... wondrous. :) Near Evanston, on the Utah side, the highway passes through a sunset-colored canyon that is beautiful. Nebraska is sort of boring, but sometimes there are hordes of sandhill cranes, or migrating butterflies, or fierce snowstorms. And there isn't as much corn as some states. (None this time of year. Ha!) Cornfields are the bane of roadtrips. There's NOTHING as boring as driving for hours and hours through the flatlands and never seeing anything at all except a wall of green corn. Oh well, I digress. :P We also went to Minnesota and Wisconsin, to see some land. That's where I am now.
Yes, you may follow if you wish. :)
