Wow! I really can't describe how much fun we had the last four weeks. We live in a big and beautiful country with a lot of really nice folks!
The pod and tow vehicle performed flawlessly day and night, the food was spectacular, the company couldn't be better and the scenery was breathtaking. Here is a quick recap and a few pictures. We got thousands. If anyone is interested in any particular area, let me know. We got the pics!
Even with a white knuckle full day of 55 mph headwinds crossing Wyoming, I was pleasantly surprised at our Avg. MPG. Know that this included a lot of side trips without the pod. We averaged less than 8 mpg crossing Wyoming. We had no rain the entire trip save a brief shower or two while sleeping. We were incredibly lucky getting sites in places with no reservation even on a couple Fridays and Saturdays.
