14 days, 11 states, 3883 miles

The second half of our road trip adventures took us north through the gorgeous San Juan National Forest to Montrose, CO to visit family for a couple of days before heading through the Rocky Mountains to Aspen and on to Denver, across the plains of Kansas, continuing east and south as we headed back to Atlanta.

• Everything is HUGE here - big sky, big scenery. It’s easy to feel inspired and also feel incredibly small

• Drove past the World’s First Rodeo

• 80 mph speed limit? How fast does one really need to drive??

• Vast and varying landscapes

• Neatly arranged groves of pistachio and walnut trees, RV parks

• Experienced a hail storm in the high plains of Colorado

• Grateful for ice cubes and air conditioning

• John Denver Park in Aspen was beautiful, calm, and peaceful

All told, we spent 14 days driving through 11 states (AL - MS - LA - TX - NM - CO - KS - MO - IL - KY - TN - GA), stayed in 8 cities (Baton Rouge, San Antonio, Marfa, Albuquerque, Montrose, Denver, Kansas City, Paducah, Atlanta!) and drove 3883 miles. We are Road Warriors!!
