Moving from the east coast to the west included a beautiful trek across the northern route (80) of the US. I had the good fortune of sunshine and pleasant weather the entire route except for a couple hours through Denver dealing with snow and the morning rush hour. There were storms ahead of me by a day, and behind me by a day, but the driving conditions were nearly perfect.

And the views of the country as I approached mountain ranges were splendid. Breath-taking even. Several times as the road crested I simply wept at the beauty that unfolded along the way.

I’m so glad I finally made the drive across the country!
