One night in Joplin, MO–Big Trip #3
We visited Joplin in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Joplin is a medium-sized town on Route 66 near the interstate. Langston Hughes was born in Joplin, Bonnie and Clyde hid out there, and Janis Joplin is unaffiliated with it. We chose it as a stopover for convenience, Route 66 history, and the fact…

One night in Dodge City, KS–Big Trip #3
We visited Dodge City in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. After leaving Denver, we started hightailing it across the Midwest toward home, picking kind of random places to spend our next two nights. First stop: Dodge City, Kansas, a six-hour drive southeast from Denver. We knew of it as a Wild West town,…

One night in Breckenridge, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Breckenridge in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. After visiting the charming ski towns of Telluride and Crested Butte, we were excited to experience one more before turning for home. Breckenridge isn’t like those two pretty, quaint, happy little towns! It’s much glitzier; everything seems shiny and bigger and buzzier. We much…

We visited Durango in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. Durango was one of our favorite stops on Big Trip #1, to the point where we wondered if we could live there. This time around it didn’t charm us quiiiiite so much.…

One night in Ouray, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ouray in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our day trip to Ouray from Durango in 2016 here. Ouray is right down the road from Ridgway, on the way to our next destination–a favorite from Big Trip #1—Durango. We visited briefly on that trip in 2016 on a day trip from…

One night at Ridgway State Park, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Ridgway in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop toward home. The main…

Six days in Crested Butte, CO–Big Trip #3
We visited Crested Butte in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Crested Butte is our new favorite place! Our planned three-day stay turned into six. Luckily for our trip-extending needs, we visited juuuust as the weather was starting to get cold, and our campground was empty. The weather was chilly but still warm enough…

One night in Montrose, CO (visit #2)–Big Trip #3
We visited Montrose in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, during Big Trip #1. I’ve been on a nice little roll knocking out several quickie posts where we stayed places for a night or two, but don’t get used to that pace–the stop after Montrose is our…
