After what has been an incredible couple of weeks it’s now time to head home. There was just enough time this morning to head back down to Hollywood Blvd for breakfast and a few more photos before getting back into the Jeep for one final...
And so it comes to an end. Nearly 3000 miles driven over twelve days (plus two days off), across 8 states (plus a Nevada detour), through many different terrains but luckily mostly through good weather. Today we left our wigwam (I don’t think I’ll ever...
