a 14 day road trip

Good morning.
We've just returned from a 14 day road trip that took us from Las Vegas all the way back to Michigan.
 Here's a few pics of our drive through Utah and Colorado.




Sure is some pretty scenery!
We decided to do a shorter trip this year compared to the 19 day road trip we took last year. We decided 19 days in hotels and on the road was a little too much!
So we broke the days into mostly 6-7 hour drives. And that was a much nicer way to go. Had plenty of time each day after we got to our hotel to relax and eat.
So our itinerary was as such.....
Las Vegas to Grand Junction Co. Then to Ogallala Neb. Then on to Des Moines Iowa. To Stevensville Michigan, and after a day stop in Muskegon to see my Mom, we spent 4 nights in Lansing.  Leaving Lansing, we again stopped in Muskegon before spending the night in Benton Harbor MI. Then it was on to Normal Illinois, back to Des Moines Iowa and the rest of the trip in reverse. I'll post more pics of the trip maybe tomorrow. Have a lot to catch up on at the moment.

  1. I don't do as much picture taking as I used to. Probably should.
    Glad you had a safe trip!

  2. I am looking for a replacement vehicle. How was the Jeep for long distant driving? Is it comfortable? What is gas mileage like? How about performance?

    1. Hi Gene,
      We like the Jeep real well. We averaged for the trip, 27.5 mpg.
      It's comfortable, but not a lot of power.
