At
the finish of my MBA Program, I decided to return to the West Coast to
continue my career. So, again, I asked my friend, Jeff, to accompany
me on the long cross country road trip. However, for a change, we selected
a different route that would take us through 12 states in a time of 7 days, 6
nights.
We
drove on Interstate 80 for a large part of the trip until we hit the US 26, which parallels the historic Oregon Trail
that was used by many of
the early settlers heading for a new life on the West Coast.
Along this highway, we were fortunate enough to see many of the remarkable
remnants of the country's past including historic Fort Laramie, Chimney
Rock, Register Cliff, a Pony Express historical site, and remains of
wagon wheel ruts that had cut across the earth.
At the end of this highway, we reached Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the
highlight of our trip. We stayed here for two nights absorbing the
outdoor Western atmosphere and beauty of the town and surrounding areas
before continuing on home to Los Angeles.
