First Day of Travel to Yellowstone National Park

(Diamond Lake RV Resort, Owensboro, KY)
June 1, 2014

We left this morning and started heading west to Yellowstone National Park.  It’s about a 26 hour drive or so to make the trip to Canyon Village from Owensboro, KY. However, we decided to drive through Denver, CO and stop overnight to visit our nephew and his wife.  He’s finishing his third year of residency in the ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) program and his wife is a registered nurse working at a children’s hospital there.

We had four days of travel before we needed to check in at Canyon Village General Store for our summer jobs as Sales Associates.

We traveled from Owensboro and picked up I-64 West just north of Evansville, IN and drove

through Indiana and Illinois. At St Louis, MO we got on I-70 and travelled through Missouri. 

We stopped for the night just before we reached Kansas City at Lake Paradise Resort in Lone Jack, MO.  We were only there for the night so we didn’t get to see much of the campground.  We didn’t unhook so we could leave first thing in the morning.

Several times throughout the day family members attending the graduation barbeque/party for our niece sent us texts with pictures or videos attached.  It sure looked like everyone was having a great time – and the food looked amazing!

Many thanks to all who were thinking of us and allowed us to at least be involved in the celebration.

Thanks for following along!
