The final mileage count

Day 8 - THE final day.

After sleeping at the rest stop last night in the trailer, we are all ready to be home. About an hour drive from our campground last night we hit severe weather. Luckily there was a rest stop only 2 miles up the road so we all pulled over to wait out the storms. Took about a hour and a half. By the time it was safe to move it was 11 PM and we had been on the road since 9 AM and we were exhausted.  So we all climbed in the trialor and slept in our clothes.

This morning we piled back in the car after brushing our teeth. Put given we are all in the same clothes still don't expect any more pics of me this trip. I am tapping out. But here is this cutie. Even after crying from 2:30 to 4 AM about an ear ache and keeping mom up... She looks fresh as a daisy. 

Day 7: Tahoe - mile 1652. Still smiling.

Day 6: Snake river - the one thing I wanted to do all week and my phone died right when I got on the river raft. We had dinner with steak and fish before we got in the raft.
