This morning, we headed into the park before 9. First stop was Alluvial Fan. This is the place where the dam broke in 1982. Then in 2013, more water roared through the area when 20 inches fell in 4 hours. Both dumped rocks and trees We then headed over to Endovalley where we had a …

RMN: Trail Ridge
Today we woke early to access the trail Ridge Road. We hiked the Lawn Lake Trails. Mom and dad stopped after a bit while the boys and I moved upward. we ran into an older couple who was making their way back from Yypson Lake. We only made it four miles but saw incredible beauty. …
Este Colorado
Today we moved on from Scott’s Bluff and made our way to Este. A friend from work had told me that Colorado is his happy place. And after the drive through part of the Rockies, I totally get it ThevRV Park has a river that runs behind it. And we are lucky to be right …
Last Day SB
Yesterday was our last day. We spent it relaxing. Laundry. A quick trip in town. Uno. And hanging out in the RV. We’re getting more glimpses of small town America. And that’s a good thing. This morning on my run an older gentleman stopped me to ask if I needed water. We quickly talked. When …
Scott’s Bluff
Today is a rest day. After a week of movement, we are holed up at Scott’s Bluff. Last night, we had a great meal at the golf course, which overlooked the bluffs. Good food and a great time. The boys took an early morning hike up the bluff. They did it at warp speed in …
Day 6: Scott’s Bluff
We got to see a beautiful sunset last night. Hot day temperatures dropped to a cooler night. We had dinner of sloppy Joe’s on the picnic table. The next morning we headed to Scott Bluff. The morning crew drove to the top and started the easier trail. Everything was goin well until, feeling our oats, …
Chimney Rock
Today, we’re exploring Nebraska. It really is an incredible contrast in terrain. The eastern side rolling farmlands while it slowly transitions into steeper and steeper elevation. We loved the new look. We’re also pretty sure we drove along the intercontinental rail. And with the hills came crazier animals, including rattlesnakes. Luckily, we didn’t see any …
Day 4 Part 2
Today, we drove to Kearney, Nebraska. And on the way, we passed the Oracle’s home town. The great Warren Buffet and Omaha, Nebraska. The man, the myth and in my book the greatest investors of all time. When I first started investing, I bought Berkshire Class B shares. Why? Because a group of us from …
Day 4: Adel, Iowa
After five hours on I80, we made it to Adel. Along the way, we crossed the mighty Mississippi. The Mississippi is just a wide, hulk of a river. It’s easy to understand why it was such an important part of early life in the US. The night was spent enjoying time at the RV park. …
Day 2
Today we head to Adel, Iowa. I’m a little bias with this stop due to Mike’s grandmother who is named Adele. So, this place has a lot to measure up to in name. We did much better this morning with getting ready. I think we’re finding that organization is key. National Lampoon has nothing on …
