A Year on the Road – The First Two Months

Our second month is in the books, and we are now 3,743 miles into the grand year’s adventure. The arrival of July 14 sees us having reached the magnificent Yellowstone National Park in the Northwest corner of Wyoming (albeit, a small part of it is in Southwest Montana). The driving has been astounding, the views panoramic, and the wildlife absolutely everywhere.

From Orlando to Yellowstone – a 3,743-mile adventure (s0 far!)

In truth, we HAVE slowed down in the second month. The first month chalked up a whopping 2,504 miles, meaning we’ve traveled just 1,239 miles in the second stanza of four weeks. In truth, we’ve gone much further than that with our localized sight-seeing in Nippy once we reach a new destination, but the official distance is measured by Fati’s odometer, and she says 3,743!

In the meantime, we’re considering our next move. In theory it is Glacier National Park in Northwest Montana, and then through Idaho to Washington and Oregon. But we have discovered something wonderfully captivating about Montana and Wyoming, hence we may well explore further here…

  1. You can have all the plans in the world but fortunately nature has the ability to stop you in your tracks and change any preconceptions. You are so lucky that you are able to take the time and truly appreciate everything that comes your way .

    1. We’ve been incredibly lucky with the actual weather, and even though we’ve had some rain it hasn’t stopped us doing anything we wanted to do. It’s amazing to have such wide-open spaces that give you a fabulous view of a rainstorm as it rolls in from miles and miles and miles away.
      More than anything, our stamina is requiring us to slow down, and we’re happy to make adjustments so that we can spend less time packing up, unpacking, and being in transit. That’s the beauty of it; you can change your mind about what you’re doing and do what makes you happy.
