Sunday, August 16, The Last Post

Hi guys, I'm sorry I was late again in writing the post. Anyway, this is to be the last post we will publish on our blog, so I will drop some pretty big figures on the table. We traveled 7650.9 miles over the course of the whole trip, and visited 11 National Parks: Mammoth Cave, Badlands, Rocky Mountains, Mesa Verde, Canyonlands, Arches, Capitol Reef, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Carlsbad Caverns. We were on the road for 5 weeks, and we enjoyed every single moment. It has been a truly wonderful and inspirational time, and I speak not only for myself, but for the whole family. I won't simply leave it there, either. I've had a great time writing the blog and listening to all of your comments. I've had lot's of time to think of how meaningful our trip was, and in what ways: I think the true meaning of our trip was not simply to look at rocks (however amazing the rocks were), but to be together, and have fellowship on a once in a lifetime journey. This may be the last post for this blog, but do not fear! There's always more summers around the corner. We may very well travel even farther northwest next year, if not by RV, then by plane. If we do, then I'll make sure that there's a blog there as well. Goodbye everyone, and have a great year.
