Return Day 3 - Sept 2: Home, Sweet, Home

Return Day 3 travel route

Today's travel was from Sheridan, Wyoming, back to the Thirsty Dirt Ranch here in the Colorado Rockies. The crew sure didn't cross the Continental Divide much on the way home.

It was kinda cool, the guys kept the SPOT on while they returned, and I could see just where they were. Even with that, they were able to sneak home because of the 10-minute interval. I was watching but I thought they were out on the highway still!

I can't wait to see all of Mike and Owen's pictures!

Return Day 2 - Sept 1: Back in the Lower 48

Return Day 2 travel route
The day began early in High River, Alberta. Mike and crew traveled back into the US into Montana. The day wound up at Sheridan, Wyoming.

Travel was pretty fast, as much was Interstate Highway.

Return Day 1 - Aug 31: Out onto the Plains of Alberta and southward

The AC'12 convoy disperses today, scattering to the four winds from Dawson Creek, British Columbia. Mike and his team are headed to Edmonton, Alberta, and then south from there. With 3 drivers, they plan to push as far as they can to get home in 3 days. Not much sight-seeing planned for this leg of the adventure.

The group got as far as High River. That was some 590 miles... quite a bit more than they have been traveling in the convoy.

Many convoy participants have been taking advantage of the better WiFi in Dawson Creek to update their blogs, and post pictures to the AC'12 facebook page.
