August 24, 2019 Wyoming then Outside Boise Idaho and Home on August 26, 2019

Just crossed into Wyoming over 8000 ft elevation. Our Toyota Tacoma truck is saying I think I can I think I can.  And it did....  It has pulled our 20 foot trailer very well across our beautiful USA.  

We stayed at Red Desert Rose RV Park in Rawlins, Wyoming. 

Wowzer- our gas tank holds 21.1 gallons. John put 21 gallons in the tank. If we hadn’t had the 2 gallon gas can in the back,  we would have run out. Too close. Stations are not at every corner. 😩

We usually fill up at the half tank but no stations on this stretch of the highway. 

Stopping in an hour outside of Boise ID for the night. 

We stayed in Mount Home Idaho RV Park.  It was one of the nicest RV Park we have stayed in.  It was very tempting to stay for more than one night with the very clean salt water pool and hottub.  There was a tennis court, fenced - in dog park, playground and very clean bathroom and showers.  The entire campground was level concrete plots with beautiful green grass and picnic tables.  In the short time we were there, we met the nicest people.  

We are back in Washington

But we are only 558 miles from home.  We decided we wanted to return to this area on  another trip.  

Near Snoqualmie Summit where John ski patrols

Overlooking Ellensburg, WA

It was so exciting to arrive home after 4 months and 2 days.  It was a long day arriving home at 7:30pm but so glad we did.  

Alex welcomes us with a bottle of wine

Brian, our neighbor across the street, welcomed us home as did Alex who lives behind us with a cold bottle of wine.  Their family also welcomed us from their deck.  It was a thrill to see everyone and such a blessing as we arrived home.  

This trip to our Grandson Garrett's High school Graduation and party, New England States, have JoAnn, my sister, join us to visit Maugansville, MD,  meet her family in Pittsburg, PA and outside Toronto, Canada, Niagara Falls, Bob and Marion in Maine, Tony and Mary in Rhode Island, Boston, New York and NYC, family outside Washington DC, visiting family in Tennessee, Florida and Mississippi  and more just to name a few highlights was on Daleen's bucket list. It was awesome to see our family in Kansas two times.  We saw so many places that were beautiful, a blessing and such a thrill to see.  I was very emotional when I first saw the Statue of Liberty and Lincoln's Monument.  Like we have heard so much this year.  Freedom is not FREE.
It was a gift from John and I will always remember the 14,100 miles we drove (he mainly drove) and the fun we had.  

We missed some of our friends and family in New York, Arizona, California and Washington but we will hopefully see them another time.  

Thank you John for making this trip possible and getting us home safely.    Love, Daleen
