Destination: New Orleans, LA End of day Odometer Reading: 217,430km We left the truck stop mid-morning on our way to New Orleans.

After buying a kit […]
Destination: Kansas City, MO End of day Odometer Reading: 215,189km Waking up at the truck stop outside of Denver, we decided that it wasn’t really worth the extra time to head back into Denver to eat at Steuben’s, so we had breakfast at the truck stop restaurant instead. Despite horrid service, the food was quite […]
Destination: Tomahawk Truck Stop just east of Denver, CO End of day Odometer Reading: 214,200km After getting a relatively early start on the road, we headed southeast towards Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
