The end of a fantastic journey


 After leaving St. George, Utah we traveled up in elevation over 2000 ft. and this is what we encountered. A few days earlier, there was a severe snow storm in the area and it left a lot of snow in the mountains. The roads were perfect and the scenery was spectacular but this was just a reminder that winter was still around and was not going to go away just yet.

 Just outside of Salt Lake City it was evident that this is a big city with lots of of people and lots of traffic. The Interstate 5 and the freeway system has greatly improved over the years but  also the population has increased tremendously. This is not the place to pull a big trailer through during rush hour or you could be waiting a long time.
 We stayed in a campground in Idaho Falls for the evening and left early on March 6th and caught a spectacular view of the early morning sunrise. It was so beautiful and peaceful to travel at this time of morning. Sort of makes coming home a little more entertaining.






March 6th 2015, we cross the Canadian border at Coutts. It is good to be back home in our beautiful country.


As we arrive closer to home we both are feeling excited about home.

As we reflect back on this once in a life time, bucket list trip we feel so grateful to have experienced this amazing journey. So many fun adventures, spectacular memories and wonderful people. We feel very blessed and thank God for guiding us, protecting us and keeping us safe through out our entire journey. Reflecting back on our journey is some interesting facts. We traveled through 7 provinces, 32 states and 19,000 miles, we left home August 1st, 2014 and arrived back March 6, 2015 for a total of  8 months in a trailer and we survived to tell the story.
