Epilogue

Trip number nine. Wow, still can’t believe that.

It’s always better to travel to the US for a chasecation, it can be quite an ordeal to do the whole thing solo. So far I’ve doubled up with Liam, Ratty and Rich. Now with my oldest son Alex, we had a really good time together.

None of these trips are comparable with any of the others save for you’re in the contiguous US and they all feature storms. This trip we’ve been to:

·         Oklahoma

·         Kansas

·         Nebraska

·         Colorado

·         Wyoming

·         Montana (New one!)

·         South Dakota

·         North Dakota

That’s 8 states which is good going not to mention all the multiple state border crossings.

We’ve really packed it in:

·         Day -1 – Bricktown, beer burgers and boat

·         Day 0 – Chill out and Whataburger

·         Day 1 – A great day’s chasing in Nebraska

·         Day 2 – Archway at Kearney, our brush with the Tumpists and a delicious steak dinner

·         Day 3 – Museum, Monument Rocks, a flat tyre and a chase

·         Day 4 – A phenomenal day at the Rocky Mountain National Park

·         Day 5 – A chase in new territory in Montana

·         Day 6 – An epic chase across the Black Hills, east to Murdo and a scary conclusion

·         Day 7 – Not much to say, a looong trip south back to base

I’ll flesh this out a bit when I get home

Total miles: 3943

Grand total over 9 trips: 32,249
