Woke up in our tent and a few days later we were back home. On the quick descent home we managed to see the profound (the Mathew Shepard memorial in Laramie; a simple bench on campus adorned with heartfelt sentiment by the current Wyoming University student body), the fun (so much fun visiting family outside of Denver- thank you again Sarah, Rob and Elias!) and the random tidbits that can only be appreciated toward the end of a six week summer road trip.

Worlds Biggest Truck Stop off Interstate 80 and also the free museum situated on the other side of the parking lot. Very cool museum.

Trip 27 is a wrap! After 42+ nights on the road it feels good right now to be hanging out on my front porch with Corey and the cats. It also felt mighty nice sleeping in my own bed. Didn’t even mind the cats waking me up around 2. So for right now I think I’ll finish my coffee and settle into the book I didn’t finish on the road like I thought I might. And then sometime later, maybe tonight or the next day, Corey or I (more likely me) will begin to map out the next great travel idea.
