On July 5, 2024, we left the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota and traveled to Rawlins, Wyoming, where we checked into the Rawlins KOA. This is where and how we learned there is a difference between a KOA Holiday and a KOA Journey. They should be called a KOA Trip instead of a KOA Journey because it was a trip. This KOA Journey was really low-budget and not very nice. I would have preferred to stay in a Walmart parking lot, but I don’t think Rawlins, Wyoming, has a Walmart. The highlights of the stay were eating at the Aspen House Restaurant and leaving the following day.
From Rawlins, we drove straight home. This marked the end of our summer adventure, covering eight states, 24 nights of camping, and 2923 miles of travel. We love these long trips and can’t wait for retirement and an opportunity to make them even longer.
