This post represents the FINAL installment in the series documenting our West Coast National Parks trip in the summer of 2017. Alan and I, along with our 18 year old daughter, Kyra, logged a total of 8,513 memorable miles of adventure over the course of five and a half weeks during the months of July and August.
Those of you who are long time readers may remember that, on our first day out on this West Coast National Parks trip, the transmission on our GMC Sierra failed, necessitating the purchase of a new 2017 truck over the phone with our local dealer and a quick trip back home to drop off the old truck (still under warranty!) and pick up the new one. Luckily, we were just one day from home and this grand fiasco cost us only two days out of our five and a half week trip. Well, go big or go home. Why not bookend the trip with equally disastrous catastrophes to make it especially memorable?
