The Long Drive from Badlands to Seattle - Day Two

We woke up, packed up the rooftop tent, and were off by 7am. According to Google, it would be another 745 miles and take about 11.5 hours. Oof.

Here are some photos of our campsite in the morning.

View of the mountains from our campsite. Not bad for a free spot for the night.

We drove until about 11:30am, when we stopped at a rest stop near West Fall, Montana. Sorry, no photos of the bathrooms or anything.

Made it to Idaho!

We drove a bit further and stopped for gas at about 12:30pm. The cheapest we could find anywhere around was $5.05/gallon in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. 

We drove and drove and drove. It started raining. It was gloomy. Tensions in the van were high. Traffic was bad. Google detoured us off the interstate to avoid traffic, but also detoured everyone else off the interstate to avoid traffic, so it was still slow traffic. The arrival time at Adam and Devin's in Seattle kept getting further and further away.



But we made it! We pulled in at about 6:40pm. Whew! Odometer reading: 168,107. Total miles traveled today: 758. Total miles traveled this trip: 2,658. Can't wait to explore Seattle and spend time with family!

Adam and Emmet welcome us to their playroom!
