Flexibility & Spontaneity: Major Change of Plans

Is it still a road-trip if you grab a plane here and there? As we absorbed the ambience of Burley, Idaho - that took a minute or two - we realized that we had three choices: convert to the LDS church and stay in SE Idaho; do a 180, and head back home; or get out the pruning shears, the credit card and the ingenuity and figure out a way to actually visit most of the places and the people we had set out to see in the time available.

So, we are now on the way to Denver. Yep, Denver, where Roger was born, home of a large airport, and a driveable distance to the Dakotas. The current plan is to make separate airborn excursions to Oklahoma and the Virginias. The exact agendas is still taking shape.

Today's other milestone: We had idleberry pie in Idle Isle in Brigham City, one of the 500 delectables one is supposed to eat "before its too late". At least that's what the book that Walter Henze sent us said. Only 499 to go. (By the way, it was delicious.)

  1. Nothing wrong with fudging the rules a little bit- that's why they're there! I mean, you did admit that you were lunatics from the outset, so now you're dropping a little bit of the lunacy. I guess wide open expanses aren't the end all, be all for you two, huh? Ahh well, live and learn! You'll still see more of the country than you ever wanted to anyway! :P

    Glad you guys are having fun exploring. Just goes to show that you're never to old to change, be flexible, and adapt.
