USA Runs in 2024

August 28, 2024: While this year’s international travel has been great so far, the USA Runs in 2024 are some of my favorite… picturesque, memorable and some right down memory lane.

August 9, Day 69: No, not those craters of the moon; Craters of the Moon National Monument! We almost bypassed this national monument to save an hour in our drive from Twin Falls to Jackson Hole. I am so glad we didn’t! The ancient lava flows there were astounding… I haven’t seen anything like that outside of the Big Island of Hawaii.

USA Road Trip 2020

USA ROAD TRIP 2020 – In 2020, the pandemic played havoc with our plan to travel to Greece for a month. So, we adjusted our plan! We sold Jean’s car, bought a Jeep Wrangler, and set out to explore America the Beautiful.

Old Rag Mountain

October 19, Day 138: We hiked 9+ miles and ~2500′ to the summit of Old Rag Mountain in Shenandoah National Park. This was DEFINITELY in the top 5 of all hikes on the trip. Having hiked the Grand Circle, Rainier, and Acadia earlier in the trip, that’s saying a lot. Old Rag Loop rated 5 stars on AllTrails, and the users were not wrong.
