After 41 days we have finally spotted license plates of all 48 contiguous states + Alaska!
Additionally we saw 2 EU registered vehicles. One French and one German.

Following along closely to this epic adventure...

What are the basics that you packed of kosher food for over a month of travel? sounds almost impossible.

Also how do you keep up the momentum of the sights? I understand it's beautiful and I love nature, but usually after 4 days of sights, it gets dull and need a break of it. Unless maybe it's the shanaha rishonah that keeps you going? ;D

Brought along CY shelf milk and cheeses in polar bear cooler. The rest we buy on the go (lots of fish on the menu). We have a toaster oven, electric pot, betty crocker, and kettle.

I guess different people different travel styles. My husband and I both did longer trips before, and we never got bored of traveling. Bh this trip hasn't been any different.

Not too impressed... I don't think this will be joining our game rotation.
