In the spring of 2016,  my country opened up to me on long road trips to National Parks with our cozy little camper, Pearl.  My youngest finished high school early,  so we loaded our well worn SUV, grabbed our sweet pup Gracie and set off westward for a six week , 8,000+ mile quest to explore as many national parks as we could.  We made to 12, including Yosemite, Kings Canyon/Sequoias, Grand Tetons, Redwoods & all five in Utah. It was one of the best things I ever dreamed up,

The unscheduled time, experiencing the miles together and take-your-breath-away vistas are so dear to me.  Since then,  my sister and other good friends have ridden shotgun on Pearl adventures too - enjoying Glacier, Yellowstone, Teddy & the Smoky Mts. In less than three years, Pearl has rolled through over 20,000 miles in North America, and it is just the beginning.  Below are a few of the highlight photos, to experience more of Pearl's travels check out her Facebook site:  GracieandPearl Scamp.  Gas up a trusty vehicle and go really experience this vast & diverse land and the endless skies above.
