After Master National was said and done, celebrating and sorrow felt... time to head home and start planning for next year. Some people get to plan their trips, Stellar does it as an after thought to the Big event. Having said that, we had an awesome trip back to Bemidji to finally pack for home. Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone were overwhelming, the early morning departure from Gardiner MT was high adrenaline and the Badlands were amazing. If Stellar ever retires, Jack and I will have a hard time deciding where we go first, second and on. We are so blessed to see much of American beauty one mile at a time. Praying all travelers get home safely. Hope all will prepare for more cold weather and beauty for 2022.
