Rethinking Traffic......

We've just enjoyed four weeks exploring in our little RV. Another Western excursion with the added benefit of being able to spend a little time with our son and his family in Washington State. Before we left we decided to try to avoid tollroads and highways and stick to the red roads. Traffic is easier (or non-existant), there are fewer trucks.....plus the scenery is going by the window at a slightly slower speed.

So we wandered through South Dakota....

.....Wyoming.....

....wth a slight traffic jam in Yellowstone where the bison own the road. We happily sit still and watch them. The moms and calves approach the road slowly, pause, and even seem to look both ways before crossing. Mom at a slow walk.....baby running to keep up. The males just seem to walk right down the middle of the road....cars be damned.

Then on up through Idaho.....

....and across Washington State on Route 20 through the Cascades.....

....where we crossed over into Canada....

....and on the way home wandered through North Dakota.....




I'm not going to say we never found traffic or road construction.....but it was very infrequent.

Red roads.....bison traffic jams....I'll take it.....
