Last night, we said "good bye" to our friends with whom we have been travelling for the last 40 days. It was bittersweet, as we are tired and our motorhomes and trailers have taken a beating, but we hate to lose daily contact with our new family. Those who have been on previous Tracks tours and our wagonmasters have said that this group was unique; no complainers (despite the bad weather and numerous breakdowns), great drivers (and parkers, even in tight conditions), fabulous cooks or chefs (as we ate VERY well) and in general, a great group of people with whom we will maintain contact for a very long time.
At our final dinner last night, everyone got a chance to say a few words about the trip and our thoughts were consistent and most appreciative. Dean may have said it best quoting a well-know sailing saying "Attitude is the difference between an adventure and an ordeal". I think most of us would say that this was an adventure!
As we depart, most of us are heading south in some direction and many of us will stay together for a few days, depending on the urgency to head home. Dean and I will start the third part of our trip which will include another week or so in Canada, then going through Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, back to Wyoming, Colorado and then directly east to Missouri. We invite you to stay with us and hope you will enjoy the travels as much as we are!
