Travel Bucket List

Between 2000 and 2005 we traveled to every state (except Hawaii) in our own self converted Greyhound Bus. At that time, we were traveling for work with some stops in between. Now, in 2026, we are in a totally different season of life, with a different perspective on life in general. In 2022, we started working on another self converted camper, a van called Loki. Now we are starting a list of places to visit all over again. We started with every state in the country again, then the highest points in each state, and then the state capitals, but we can still dream big dreams.

At our age now, getting there fast is less of a priority. Enjoying the ride and appreciating every moment is more of a priority. Below are some of the places on our wish list, our bucket list, or whatever you want to call it.
