Woke up and got some great sunrise pics and drone footage. Then continued west to California. Tahoe was recovering from an atmospheric river that caused a bunch of snow, but was able to go across without buying chains thanks for AWD and snow rated tires. Got to Jack’s to unload the car to make spaceContinue reading “2021-10-25”

Woke up early to get good pictures of the sunrise. Sunrise wasn’t great but got some great pictures anyways – especially with the drone. Drove to Salt Lake City and stopped for coffee. Kept heading west to an overnight spot right on the salt flats. Not an actual camp spot but a good place toContinue reading “2021-10-24”

Got coffee in the morning in Colorado Springs. Then drove to Grand Junction on the border of Utah. Made a last minute decision not to go to the camp site I had picked out and found an overlook in Colorado Monument to try and overnight at. Got there around 9pm so it was dark.

Woke up and went to a coffee shop in Estes Park that did good doughnuts. Walked around the town – which was pretty touristy like a small Gatlinburg – until noon. Went into some nice outdoors stores and a bookstore that was playing Harry Potter music when I walked in. Then left for Rocky MountainContinue reading “2021-10-21”

Wind and cold made it difficult to cook, but everything turned out well. Chilled out after breakfast with my laptop thanks to good internet. Then wentContinue reading “2021-10-20”

Woke up and biked on the gravel roads around the campsite. Got to an area used for wildlife conservation with Buffalo, which I decided not to bike through but drove through later and saw them. Then left for Wichita and found a nice coffee shop around Wichita State University where I worked on this website.Continue reading “2021-10-18”

Woke up and drove through Mark Twain National Forest and towards Kansas City. Went to Kansas City Plaza area for food.

They said the area is getting really niceContinue reading “2021-10-17”

Left Chattanooga early to drive to St. Louis. Checked out a campsite in Mark Twain National Forrest. The site was really remote, but there was a spot with a good overlook view and some internet service. Went into St. Louis and saw the arch. Then walked around the city, which was pretty dead and uninteresting.Continue reading “2021-10-16”
