After two days at Custer State Park, we were starting to feel homesick. We changed our original plans and hit the road a day early. We were tired of all the driving, so we camped at private campgrounds closer to the highways rather than state parks. It was a great trip, and this is a beautiful country. We are happy to be home.

We have been home in Manchester for a month and busy catching up with all we neglected for 6 weeks. Seeing this country and visiting some national parks was an exhilarating experience. It also feels great to be home. After this, there will be one more “Travel Away from Manchester” video.

Travel Away from Manchester Episode 13
What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferry brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb into riotous gladness.

“There is delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation, increased and not impaired in value.” ~President Theodore Roosevelt
Grand Time in the Grand Tetons
National Parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst.

Bernalillo, NM and Dan in Durango
We had planned to spend a few more days in Bernalillo so we could see Albuquerque. But, the upcoming Dead Horse Point reservation was difficult to get and impossible to change. The days waiting in Clinton, OK used up two of the three days planned for Bernalillo.
