– Las Vegas, Nevada to Stovepipe Wells, California – Well, it’s New Year’s Day. Happy New Year to everyone reading along. I know it probably isn’t what most people would say, but thank goodness we’re leaving Vegas. I’m not going to miss it at all. We still got up at 7am this morning, which is…

– Flagstaff, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada- So as you might imagine, I’m writing this post from the morning of New Year’s Day, rather than last night, even though this is the post for New Year’s Eve. It would’ve been pretty hard to write it last night after we got back to our hotel around…

– Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland to Inverness, Scotland – So much rain. So rainy. Many wet. I think I’m just now really drying out. It’s damp out there, folks. I said we expected it, and we did, but man… It was so nice on the way up here. The weather was gorgeous until late yesterday….

– Glasgow, Scotland to Kyle of Lochalsh, Scotland – Our morning began with a run along the River Clyde in downtown Glasgow. It wasn’t perfect, but at least we had a trail that didn’t cross traffic. The weather was really quite cool, actually. Today was the first day that we’ve needed our sweaters for our run….

– Carlisle, England to Glasgow, Scotland – So… we bought a castle pass today. It cost us £40 per person, but it lets us visit any castle in Scotland for the next week without paying the entrance fee. We’ve already visited three today, and I have a feeling w may go a little castle wild, now…
