May 19, 2013: Day 10 – East Bound and Down
Above is today’s trip map created using my Trimble Outdoors Navigator iPhone app. Click the link above for a bigger map. Today was the final day of our journey, and so far it’s been a great one! After checking out of the motel, I opted for just coffee today. After having so many big breakfasts and a big dinner and dessert last night, I needed to give my stomach a rest.
