We have driven A LOT. Whether we wanted to or not. Back in our younger days, Hubs would have to deliver tools/equipment. A lot of times the equipment would be needed the next day and we’d have to drive all night to get it there. I don’t miss that part.
The good part was that occasionally we could take our time coming back. So we’d take the scenic route. We got to see all sorts of country. Some of this was before mobile phones so I didn’t get pictures, unless it was an actual “vacation” of a few days and I took my camera. After mobile phones showed up that had cameras, there were pictures galore.
We still love to go for drives. Currently we have to stay within a day’s drive because of my one remaining dog. She’s 15 now and needs a lot of attention. Eventually we’ll be able to leave on trips and drive wherever we want. For now, here are some of the sights we’ve seen. I’ll try not to get too carried away, but no promises.
The Talimena Drive. It runs from SE Oklahoma to Mena, Arkansas.
Denali Park, Alaska. In September.
Somewhere around the Four Corners area, Utah.
Heckman Pass, Bella Coola BC, Canada
Mt. Evans, Colorado USA
Bella Coola, BC Canada
Near Weston Pass, Colorado USA
Astoria-Megler bridge, over the Columbia River, Astoria, Oregon USA

Lovely photos. We are planning a long long road trip in January, heading to somewhere warm hopefully and your photos have given me some new places to consider. Thanks.

You certainly have traveled. Photos are great memories for you I am sure. Utah is a favorite place for me. I think I would love exploring Colorado more. Very nice… Donna

From what I’ve seen, both Utah and Colorado have a huge Jeep community and many, many places to go offroad.

Yes. We spend 10 days in Utah every year with Jeep friends. Always a great time. It is an amazing place.

Wow – such beauty you’ve captured – I’m jealous of the places you’ve been. I know how you feel about a dog that needs you to be home. I’m sure she’s happy to see you every time you return.

There are so many fantastic places to see still. My girl turned 15 in August. She puts out a lot of drama when I go outside without her. I can hear her howling and it sounds so pitiful (she’s tiny). But it’s funny too because she’s fine except for separation anxiety.

Yes, there are, once we are petless we’ll be able to travel more. Not that we want to rush their lives, but they do demand attention on a regular basis.
Aw…my little dog did the same thing. He had dementia and couldn’t remember watching us go out the door and would howl until we returned. I think that gave the cats anxiety. 😉
