Aloha all,
I did not realize that I might have had island fever living in Hawaii…BUT… when you cannot leave the island for almost 18 months, the urge to go somewhere becomes very strong.
After I was vaccinated and all my family were vaccinated, I decided to “hit the road” by taking a road trip on the mainland to visit family and friends. Currently I am Madison Wisconsin visiting my Aunt and taking a breather from driving across the western states and the plains states.
I thought I would share the first part of the journey. I have forgotten how VAST and BEAUTIFUL the western states are and how FLAT the plains states can be.
Photos from the first 2,532 miles. Enjoy! Caroline

Great photos, Caroline! Glad you took photos of Carbondale, CO - really lovely country! I spent a snowy Thanksgiving in Redstone, closer to Aspen, one year in the 1970s, lots of good memories. Nebraska looked like Nebraska - many trips from Boulder to Grand Island area as a child to visit grandparents. UT is stunning! Will look forward to your next posting. Travel safely!! Aloha!! Rosie
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! Many of the places I have never see like Colorado. I did drive through Nebraska and it’s so flat. Your car looks great. I will see it next year in Hawaii. Looking forward to your next posting.
