RE: R2R Travelogue 22: Final Day - "Home Stretch" in Wyoming

in #travelfeed7 years ago

Howdy tonight sir roleerob! wow what a trip! I think you should do a trip like this every year but of course in different parts of the country! lol. Does your wife like to travel? It might be more pleasant that way.
This is indeed wonderful though, I like the fact that it is "immutably enshrined" on the blockchain. I hope the blockchain lasts till the end of time. Thanks for this great effort and experience which you've shared with us, it would take me hours to put these posts together! I mean each one would take hours!

Okay @janton ...

"I think you should do a trip like this every year but of course in different parts of the country! lol. Does your wife like to travel?"

... I'm willing to do my part. You know the hard part - traveling and writing Steem posts about the experiences. I'll just need a "fund raising" manager. Any volunteers? 😉

Yes, she enjoys traveling, but was quite happy to not be along on this one. Especially during the second half with all of the driving in the snow. She preferred to skip that and just hear about it from me ...

"I mean each one would take hours!"

Each one did take hours ... But ... Worth it, to have preserved the memory!

Sir roleerob! Well I thought you were retired now with a great big, fat retirement fund or maybe even a check every month so I didn't think money would be an issue. That's supposed to be the trade off for working at a big, multi-national corporation that works you too hard and is frustrating to work for...it's supposed to be worth it when you retire! lol.

But if I were you and wanted gas money I would start taking donations now and see what happens. Maybe by the time you're ready to roll again you'll have a paid vacation fund!

Speaking about the posts and the time factor, that had to be pretty grueling. You drive all day and then get in at night and have to spend hours getting a post out! That sounds like work. lol. But we appreciate your dedication!

Yep @janton ...

... that's the way it is supposed to work. I have no complaints. These days money managers say you better figure you could live into your 90s! Yeah, well, I am definitely getting older, but not even close to that old ... So, I'd just as soon keep going a bit, to make sure the funds last that long, if really needed ...

"You drive all day and then get in at night and have to spend hours getting a post out!"

Yep, that's kind of the picture of this trip! Debated early on about whether it was worth it, but decided in the end to keep going, as I had already started ... Hahaha ... Story of my life. Not knowing when to quit ... 😉

Howdy back sir! Well I'm glad you have a decent retirement, so many people don't.

haha! The story of your life is not knowing when to quit! Yes but look how well you've done and how far it's gotten you! Kudos for your accomplishments!
