Running Away From Home

Driving US 191 is a mind-blowing, life changing experience. Take as much time as you can because there is a lot to see. Make sure you see Flaming Gorge on the Wyoming/Utah border. There is so much you should see that I'm not going to say any more. The only way to believe it is to see it.

First - so sorry for your loss. Second - thanks for sharing I really want to do this also. I love driving the country and seeing what's in the middle if you know what I mean.
Thanks, I do know what you mean. I had a home rented in Carlsbad, CA, for the last 2 weeks in March. I was going to drive there from Milwaukee, meet my daughter and grandson there, and then go on to Tucson. I was very fortunate that I was able to cancel and get refunds. I’m looking forward to being on the road again.

Thanks! I think I have already spent about 15 hours looking at Google maps and Google earth to try and map out a route that will work for me. Really looking forward to it.

You might consider adding Mesa Verde Natl. Park to your list. It's in Colo. in the four corners vicinity about 1 1/2 hrs East of US Rt 191. It preserves some of the cliff dwellings of the ancient ones; a spiritually moving place with great photo ops. I've posted one photo just to illustrate what's there.

I'm really sorry to hear about the loss of your wife. I cannot imagine life without her. But I am really glad to see that you are getting inspiration from her life to share our country's beauty with us. Please continue to share these photos with us. My wife retired this April and once restrictions are lifted, we plan to start our tours of the USA this Fall. Starting with Mt Rushmore, just as you have shown above. Please do continue to share with us because I can use your trails as a map for us to follow. Thanks, again.

Travel is good for the soul. The trip you plan sounds wonderful. Will you go north or south?

Starting in Mikwaukee, I’ll spend a couple days in MN with some friends, then head out to MORGAN. MT, and go south from there.
