March turned out to be a month of many new experiences and milestones. It started with spending time on a Missouri farm. I really enjoyed my time there and I'm heading back for more. From Missouri I took a new route to me on I-40 west. I went south to avoid the last winter storms. Despite some challenges with the RV things went well. Driving through the middle of the country gives you a different appreciation for how big the US really is. Lots of amazing beautiful scenery. Highlights certainly being Zion and Arches National Parks. A got two of the top three memorable hikes: Angels Landing and Delicate Arch (the third being Knife Edge in Maine). Part of the inspiration to get moving and head west was the hunt for rocks. Mission accomplished I picked up 1000 pounds. The RV crossed over 100,000 miles. Leaving Utah I headed east on I-70. I think I-70 has to be the most diverse Interstate in the country. Starting in Utah with 110 miles of mountains, canyons, mesas then climbing over two 11,000 foot passes in Colorado and across the bread belt of Kansas you couldn't have different terrain. (The best I could do over the passes was 25 mph but I made it.) April looks to be time spent in a persistent place back at the farm and Orb.
