A cross country road trip has always been on my bucket list. Getting on the open road during the summer, camping out, seeing great sights, what’s not to love?

I mentioned nearly two years ago during a sermon that on our sabbatical we’d do a long trip hitting 10 National Parks (8 US, 2 Canadian), a couple of National Monuments, a State Park or two and some roadside attractions, including a selfie in front of the Jolly the Green Giant statue in Blue Earth, MN. I cannot believe that this trip is upon us! Our camping gear resides safely in the car, the itinerary sits complete, and we have 18 books on CD.

So I have no idea how often I’ll be posting to this blog; it’ll depend a lot on connectivity and wifi in the days ahead. We will be posting photos over on Instagram (www.instagram.com/RamblingPriest/) if you are so inclined. I’ll be journaling often, so I will catch you up at some point. Know that I appreciate your prayers.
