Whenever I want to see the world, I hit the road. Airplanes work well for taking transatlantic travel and a time-constrained jaunt from point A to point B, but while up in the air you miss too much below. This summer's back-to-back weddings - something that, following our mid-30s onset, rarely occurs - became an excuse for a two-week tour westward. And, when it comes to vacation, the only words that make me giddier than "road trip" are the words "Mountain Standard Time."
On July 2, we departed from Winona following my friend Meg's wedding celebration. (Fun and fabulous affair, Ms. F. What a smashing time we had!) The truck contained camping gear, two garment bags containing formal wear, a bag of female footwear ranging from three-inch pumps to hiking boots, two bags filled with outdoors attire, two bags filled with spandex and other cycling gear, two coolers and four bikes - two for the road, two for the dirt.
Our 4,365-mile route included 10 states - Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Wyoming and South Dakota and several pretty sweet experiences along the way.
