HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SCOTT from Missouri to Wyoming

It's Scott's birthday today!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We left St. Joseph this morning at about 8:30 a.m. and started our way on the last part of our trip.  It's crazy to think that when we get home tomorrow we would have been on the road for an entire month!  It's been a fun trip sharing time with the grandkids, going to national parks, monuments and historical sites, getting genealogy done and Scott was able to work the entire time, seeing family in all parts of the country has been wonderful and it will be sad to park Gypsy Rose for a few days until we go to Salt Lake City in a week for the doTerra Convention.  After that we may take her out in October and then park her until we go to Virgin, Utah for the winter months.

Today we drove through Missouri, Iowa, and all of Nebraska.  We do anything fabulous other than drive, but Scott took a photo of the Archway in Kearney, Nebraska when we came to it.  It's actually called The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument, a funky bridge that spans all lanes of the freeway right in the middle of nowhere Nebraska.  He grabbed the camera just as we were approaching it so he didn't get the whole picture so I've included a couple extras so you can see what it is.  The Archway is a very cool museum.  We didn't stop but it's pretty cool, so if you pass by, stop and see it.

Just before we stopped for the night, the sun was shining through the Wyoming clouds so I took a couple photos.

We're stopped tonight in the Sierra Trading Post RV and truck parking lot in Cheyenne, Wyoming.  We found this boon docking site on overnightrvparking.com which you subscribe to for about $25 per year.  But, if you use it one, it's paid for itself from what you'd pay at an RV park or campground.  We passed packed KOAs and at the Wal-Mart, the sign said NO OVERNIGHT PARKING and yet there were about 8-9 RVs parked there illegally.  Tonight, we're parking legally and there is NO ONE anywhere around us. The freeway is near us, but it's not too noisy.  The generators are running and the RV is nice and cool.  Not bad.  2 Stars for this boon docking site.

All by ourselves!

Beautiful night sky

Lot by ourselves!

Here's more lot

After we got set up I worked on the blog and Scott talked to his old boss and now great friend, Stan Jensen.  Happy Birthday - even if it was on the road. 💓🍦🍰🎈🎉
