I can understand the desire to get home at the end of a long trip. For me it’s always bittersweet ... but I feel ready to do so as long as it really is the “end” ... meaning it’s not just the end of a segment of a number of trips we’ve strung together to make up one big adventure.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-14788267983117742662019-03-24T18:13:21.913-07:002019-03-24T18:13:21.913-07:00They did allow same day reservations, but no cell ...They did allow same day reservations, but no cell service at the site made it hard to do because the reservation has to be made onlineSue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-89899542697393874452019-03-23T20:06:50.461-07:002019-03-23T20:06:50.461-07:00You two surely didn't waste any time getting h...You two surely didn't waste any time getting home once you got west.

I think the closer you are to your actual home, the readier you are to get there NOW! We've all had to endure some crappy weather this winter, gray/black skies, dun-colored hills, which didn't add to the overall sweetness of being Out and About. I hope whichever route you take to finish your homeward trek that it'll be not only safe, but scenic as well. Something to really rock your soul! BTW, we've stopped at Palo Duro Canyon a couple of times and it was amazing!Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915357815051575646.post-66198668903875409732019-03-22T16:45:40.510-07:002019-03-22T16:45:40.510-07:00Sounds like some really scary weather that you dod...Sounds like some really scary weather that you dodged!
