Land Rover Lehi

Should have started this several days ago, at the beginning of our journey.

Out with the old (right), in with the new (left)

2
Green River

First gas stop on our way out East. \240Last time we came through here, the AC stopped working when it was 109 degrees. This time ‘round, the new rig is holding up.

3
Carbondale

Day 1 complete, arrived in Carbondale CO.

4
Independence Pass

The fact that we are about 2’ over the 35’ (total length) for Independce Pass, made for a very harrowing drive up the pass!

5
Diamond Campground Inc.

Remarkably, we made the drive to Woodland Park! \240The campground is beautiful, with pine trees all around. \240We went for a nice casual ride down to the lake.

6
Colorado Springs

On the way to some good BBQ at Randy’s… we made a slight detour to The North Pole.

After dinner, we had just enough time to check out Gatden of the Gods.

7
Wilson Lake

THAT was a looong drive. \240The torrential rain storm certainly didn’t make it any quicker. \240However, our campsite at Wilson Lake makes it all worth it.

8
St. Louis

Stopping in St Louis for a one-nighter, on the way to TN. The Arch is much more impressive in person!

9
Poole Knobs Campground

Just outside Music City in the beautiful Poole Knobs State Campground. \240We were able to get some riding in a nearby park.

10
Laurel Bank Campground

What a great place to stay at Laurel Banks. \240Although, I don’t think I’ve ever seen this much rain in the “summer”. \240The ride off the Blue Ridge Parkway was literally like going through the Amazon!

11
Asheville

Leaving Asheville, keep on the lookout for…?

17
Pawleys Island

What a way to start the day

18
Greensboro

On the way to Greensboro from the Beach, This jackass rear-ended the new Defender in a stolen car.

The dude took off after hitting us. \240Fortunately he hit the tow hitch squarely. So, the only damage to my car was a little added blue paint. I can’t say the same for the car he stole.

19
Grayson Highlands State Park

Camping with the Bartlett Clan.

Took a trip down the Virginia Creeper Trail.

20
Smith Mountain Lake

Another day, another lake. :)
