Change of Plans for the Drive Back to Colorado

Although we were sad to leave NERI, we were more excited about the many upcoming travel adventures we had to look forward to. Because we had been having issues with the RV not starting, we made our way to Knoxville, Tennessee, so that the Mercedes dealer there could see what was going on. Unfortunately, they couldn't seem to find what was causing our issue.

Although we had originally planned to take a more scenic route home, visiting two new National Park units on the way, we decided to scrap that plan. We didn’t want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere and have RV issues.

We therefore took the safe way back, interstates almost the entire way. We also decided to stay in hotels right off the highway instead of more remote campgrounds.

The highlight of the trip happened on our last day when we stopped to see the Kit Carson County Carousel in Burlington, Colorado. The building was closed, and we had to peek through the windows to see the beautiful interior. I’d love to see it when it’s operating.

We arrived home on July 14. We had less than three weeks to get ready for Iceland.
