Girls Only Road Trip
WEEK ONE

In Week One, we traveled up the Coast of California mostly on Highway 1, which was GORGEOUS and then across the state on I-80. Going through Nevada on I-80 was the only boring and unappealing segment of our journey. Brown and Flat! Crossing into Utah on I-80 was a visual treat that just got better and better when we traveled South on I-215/I-15 and reached the ultimate beauty along the Provo Canyon and remained scenic along US-40. Colorado was Karin's favorite state because she lived there in her youth and because we were never on a major interstate. We traveled on US-40 and then some back roads through Cameron Pass and Gould and ended up in Fort Collins, then headed North on I-25 into Wyoming. Eventually we got off the interstate again and took a few back roads into the Black Hills of South Dakota. Sturgis, SD (near Deadwood) was our farthest North point in our journey. We got all the way across South Dakota to Sioux Falls by the end of Week One. Karin loved all the Western states (Nevada notwithstanding)!
