Introduction:
Week two on the open road and the lifestyle change of living out of a car is starting to feel normal. My plans had me heading northwest to Yellowstone National Park from Mt. Rushmore, however, the weather had other plans. With the weather report calling for 40 degree days with rain and snow, heading south seemed like a logical plan. But before I headed south I had to stop by the Badlands National Park and the Wind Cave National Park, both are extremely beautiful (see photos below.)
Heading south didn’t yield better results; the weather was still overcast/ rain so I decided to take a few days off from car living and set up camp in Denver, CO at my friend's apartment. A few days indoors, a rained out Rockies game that turned into a night at a speakeasy and I was good to go to hit the open road again. Heading west deeper into the Rocky Mountains I stopped in
Leadville, CO to say “hi” to a college friend. Finishing the week off I settled in Grand Junction, CO for some much-needed sun, warm weather and mountain biking. This coming week has me headed to Salt Lake City, UT, back to Grand Junction, CO and lastly, back to Denver, CO once more to meet up with friends and go to a Red Rocks concert.
