The Trip Begins Friday!

The blog has been really quiet as I dealt with the final days working for Olympic National Park, plus the beginning of the Insight Washington school year, AND the continuing classes at Olympus High School. But, I am now done at Olympic NP and we are preparing to hit the road for the big trip.

Above you can see a map of the tenative route we will take. It includes going out to the Black Hills of South Dakota, down to Scottsbluff, across Oklahoma to see the largest tallgrass prairie left, as well as, the pioneer sites including one of the last sod houses remaining. We will then head into the Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri for the fall colors and then down to Louisiana to check out the swamps and cajun culture.

Eventually we'll end up back in Arizona for the winter months. So, as we hit the road tomorrow, look for the adventures to begin again and the posts to become more frequent! I am really excited to hit the highway and get back into nature, hiking, and exploring!
