Texas 2 Oregon in 16 Days - By RV I just returned from my vacation of two weeks during which time I drove my recently purchased diesel RV from Texas to Oregon. The first thing I will say is that 2800 miles is a little bit too far to go in two weeks. One more week would have been perfect. However along the way we saw and spent time in some of the most incredible countryside I've ever seen, between monument valley, Dead Horse State Park, Canyonlands, Canyon De Chelly, the Columbia Gorge and the roads in between. I experienced a sense of incredible awe to see the results of billions of years of earth activity and the results. Nowhere I have been before have I enjoyed that feeling quite so much.

That said, I also drove some of the most boring roads ever laid down; I10 from San Antonio to El Paso, I40 north into New Mexico, I 15 north out of Utah and some of the trip through Idaho.

Now I am back at work and feeling refreshed. (2004-07-28 09:00:00.0) Permalink
