Jeep Mileage: 271 202 km
Happy St. Patty’s Day! Well after 3 days of waiting our Jeep is finally ready, we got a ride to the garage from another Couch Surfer, Medina at 7:30AM so we could be on our way right away. We headed out at 8AM and drove along I40 across Oklahoma, and Texas to Amarillo, then cut up towards New Mexico, and eventually Colorado, finishing in Colorado Springs at midnight. In total we drove for 15.5 hours covering 989 miles (1592 km).
It was a long day but we were eager to meet up with our friends in Colorado, and we felt recharged after our 3 day stay in Little Rock. We took turns throughout the day driving.
We recently found out that we will be doing a WWOOF in Utah near Moab on a Solar Powered Organic Vineyard. The farm is run by a 24 year old from California. I am hoping to help put the finishing touches on a solar powered cabin and help with the crops. We will be staying there for about 2 weeks, working approximately 6 hrs a day 5 days a week in exchange for room and board. This will give us a chance to settle down for a couple weeks after 2 months of travel, and learn new skills while doing something a little less selfish at the same time.
