Our first week of hurrying across the country had several nice stops. Two of which already have their own post, Craters of the Moon and The Geographic Center. However we also stopped several other lovely places so we wanted to do a quick travel update to include pictures we took of those places as well.
We stayed by a lake in Idaho near the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area. We didn't see any raptors but the lake was still lovely.
Further in Idaho we worked very carefully to have Andreas take a picture of the odometer as it hit 222,222.2 while Kathleen drove. We were probably more excited about that than we needed to be, but we like numbers.
Right before we left Idaho we stayed by one more beautiful lake. It was pretty but super cold. It actually started snowing softly before we left. Afterward we crossed through quite a snowstorm in Wyoming but just kept moving.
In Wyoming we stayed in one of our rare paid campgrounds at Vedauwoo in the Medicine Bow campground. It was absolutely beautiful but a little chilly because it was up above 8,000 feet.
We wrapped on the week in Kansas City, Kansas. Andreas's friend from his Masters program lives in Missouri and was coaching in a soccer tournament in Kansas City. We stopped off to watch one of his games and get lunch together. We love meeting up with people on the road.
