Just got rested up from the trip, and figured you guys might like to see some pics!
Started this trip on June 7th and got back the 14th. Went through:
Arkansas
Missouri
Kansas
Colorado
Utah
Nevada
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Oklahoma
It was a lot of driving, and a lot of fun. Got to see some places that the usual tourist would never see!
Here is what I was driving:
1995 Suburban K2500 - 7.4L V8 - 4.10 gears - OEM Locker - 35" tires.
Suspension is all stock, with 212,000 miles when I left. She never missed a beat!
Driving through Kansas, we saw a very large wind farm.
This picture pretty much sums up driving through Kansas:
Not too much to see. Would've been a great time to use Autopilot....well, ya know, if I had that.
Finally arriving in Colorado!
By the time we got to Colorado Springs and stocked up the cooler, it was dark, and we found a quick place to camp.
Leaving the campground the next morning:
Made our way over to the Garden of the Gods:
There is a little dirt road that goes up and provides some great views of Pikes Peak! Also would've been a great place to camp.
We made our way over to the Royal Gorge:
