Blazing new trails and reveling in the the beauty around every corner, Joey Bologna and I have had the pioneering spirit while exploring the Northwest.  Since we are from Ohio and Pennsylvania respectively, we aren’t used to seeing mountains lurking at the edge of a parking lot or spotting cowboy hats everywhere we go.  Before we hang up our spurs, we wanted to make sure we paid tribute to the wild west.

Now those are some lunch-lasso-ing cowboys

Back in January, Joey and I saddled up and headed west, feeling like a Lewis and Clark duo.  We were ready to take on new territory.  To really get in the spirit, we had to make a stop at a hat shop in Darby, Montana.  You can tell we knew how to work this western fashion staple (I actually put mine on backwards at first, whoops!).

In Nevada, we explored old mining towns in our own precious gem.  We were looking for a good photo opportunity and struck gold when we found this prospector just outside of Reno.

This guy wanted to trade his silver for the Wienermobile. We wouldn’t give up our buns of gold for anything!

In Oregon, we rode right along the historic Oregon Trail and reminisced about playing the computer game that had elementary students try to guide a party of settlers west.  Frankfully, we didn’t have to try and forge the river and our plush seats are much more comfortable for the long journey.

As we ride off into the sunset, we pause, reflect, and tip our hats to the wild, wild west.
