Here's a look at all the states we've visited in our Motorhome (California was on a previous trip)
Later, we'll post a few statistics and highlights for the trip - like miles traveled, etc.

Trail's End...
We discovered Cracker Barrel Country Stores in every state except here on the West Coast and Nevada. Geared for travelers, they are so much fun!
Old fashioned toys and candies, and a front porch filled with rocking chairs so you can "set a spell"! You can "borrow" books on tape and return them at any of their locations.
We spent MANY hours listening to some great tales on the road, and several nights in Cracker Barrel parking lots.
Remember when McDonald's looked like this? This one is in Boise, Idaho. We actually didn't over do on fast food. It's nice to take your kitchen with you on the road!
Our last night on the road, and we had a beautiful camping spot right on the Snake River.
Simple pleasures really are the best! Joseph thoroughly enjoyed his wind-up balsa wood airplane (from Cracker Barrel, of course!)
The Oregon Trail Interpretive Center was very interesting.
We stood in the actual wheel ruts of the Oregon Trail!
Home at last...
...in time to enjoy our own hometown celebration of Derby Days!
So good to see friends again "jazzing things up" in the parade!
Who has the biggest smile: This clown or three weary travelers happy to be home?
A scramblin' good time at the carnival!
Even the Fun House at the carnival can't compare to the happiness of just being home.
