Chloe and Paula Go Places

Leaving the hostel, we had a fairly smooth to the KOA we were staying at. It was our first time staying at a KOA on the trip and we greatly appreciated the vast amenities. We celebrated by making “breakfast for dinner” with eggs, bacon, and pancakes! We went to bed to prepare for a long […]

Heading into our last full week of the trip, we entered the Appalachia. The first day of the week we faced some pretty heavy elevation but watching the trees starting to turn in Autumn made if worth it. We got to our campsite – a park run by army corps – around 5 pm and […]

The week started off very smoothly. We had about 3,000 ft elevation the first day leaving Eddyville but it didn’t feel too bad. After grabbing some lunch, we crossed the Ohio River and entered Kentucky! It was super cool to ride a ferry on a bike. We ended our first night in Kentucky at a […]

Starting the week, we spent an extra day in Hutchinson to hopefully wait out the worst of the storms. Treating it like a rest day, we went and got donuts and some much appreciated coffee. Afterwards, we returned to the church we were staying at to work out a plan for the rest of the […]

We left the next morning with no scratches and an itch to start “Flat Colorado”. That evening we stayed at […]

For our last day in Wyoming, we headed to Six Mile Gap campground in Encampment, Wyoming. The campsite was a pain to get to — about two miles of rough hills and all bumpy gravel — but worth every inch of struggle. The actual sites were hidden from view with stairs leading up a hill […]

Gearing up for a whole week in Wyoming, we were excited to see all it had to offer. Our week started off by traveling to Dubois where we went to the National Bighorn Sheep Museum and grabbed lunch at a great burger and milkshake shop. After that, we settled in at a lodge where we […]
