Hi to all!

As you already know, I include other states besides Ohio in my blogging. This is a series of 14 posts that I am putting together for our 28-day trip across the western United States.

The cities and states we visited are:

Springfield, Illinois

St. Joseph, Missouri

Abilene, Kansas

Oakley, Kansas

La Junta, Colorado

Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado

Flagstaff, Arizona

Gallup, New Mexico

Alburquerque, New Mexico

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Woodward, Oklahoma

Joplin, Missouri

Murphysboro, Illinois

Indianapolis, Indiana

I planned since October 2025, for this epic trip. And it did not disappoint us.

We made a few changes along the way, but the changes only enhanced the trip.

Hope you enjoy these blogs.
