RuedeBuhr Road Rage–Day Eighteen

Today we loaded up and started the long drive from Fort Collins, CO back to Seattle, WA, via Yellowstone National Park.  The day turned hot, and we draped damp towels over both dogs to keep them cool.

I drove, and Kelly lounged in the back of the RV enjoying the amazing western vistas that opened before us.

After about four hours on the road, we stopped at a spectacular outcropping of rock near Split Rock, WY. We unloaded the boys and started up to take in the view.

Along the way, the boys paused for a drink at a sink hole in the rock.

The view from the top was indeed spectacular.

The boys found a grassy area in which to wrestle.

We paused to reflect on how much we were enjoying the trip and each other.ruedebuhr road rage day 18 253877

As the wind was howling over the prairie, we decided to make our way back to the RV through the maze of house sized boulders.

Once back in the parking lot, we loaded up and I drove us into the sunset with Cooper riding shotgun.
