We had a couple week long cold snap in Nashville which led to the waterfalls in the area freezing over. Cummins Falls is my favorite waterfall so when I heard it was frozen I had to go check it out.
The hike in wasn't too bad, besides my pants freezing. All of the ice gave the fall and the surrounding area a winter wonderland feel.

This was an interesting last day of the trip. I had a stand off with a donkey, played in the desert, got to drive my favorite road of the entire trip and ultimately make it all the way to the Pacific Ocean after sitting through a lot of frustrating traffic.

Today was full of incredible landscapes that I had never seen before. Petrified Forrest National Park was like driving onto Mars. Every turn revealed colors, rock formations, vistas and just plain awe inspiring beauty that is a world unto itself.

If I could have one day over on the trip it would be this one. Not that I didn't enjoy it, but I definitely would have spent the afternoon and night in Santa Fe. Grabbing lunch outside and driving through Santa Fe was really cool, but I would have loved to explore the city some more.
Beyond Santa Fe, seeing the Breaking Bad house was really cool. I wish I didn't chicken out and just grab this photo but the owners sitting in the front yard really threw me off.

This was a full day on Route 66. I got visit The Big Texan, Cadillac Ranch, drive a dirt road, play with and almost crash my drone, drive into New Mexico and end the day with an awesome sunset time lapse.

This was an interesting day with a wide range of emotions. I got to visit a fun store full of a million different kinds of soda, drive on a road while singing a song named after it and visit the incredibly moving Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

Chicago is an amazing city and one of my favorites but I was so excited to get on the road, that I woke up early and headed straight out.
I really enjoyed this stretch of the road because it goes through a lot of small towns and historical sites. It wasn't the best for photographing but still very interesting and enjoyable.

This has been on my bucket list for a long time, so when I got the opportunity to drive Route 66 this summer, I was incredibly excited.
And just because I wasn't actually on Route 66 at all the first day, didn't dampen my excitement. I wanted to do the full route so I had to drive from Nashville to Chicago and officially ship off on day 2.
It was well worth it. Not only did I get to drive every mile (at least of what's left), I also got to spend a night in Chicago. That's never a bad thing.
Let me know what you think about the vlog. Have you ever driven Route 66?

This was a fun adventure. Had to battle clouds and condensation on the lens but it was still an awesome experience.

This was a fun adventure. I had never been to this area so I got to drive some back roads that were brand new, explore a new National Park (technically a recreation area) and even saw some Buffalo.
All in all a good trip.
Would you come to this park? Have you ever seen anything like it?
