Thanks for great reporting on a wonderful trip. The Four corner states section and Yellowstone took me back 30 years to some of my US flydrives. After leaving Yellowstone, the trip was even more fascinating to a part of the world I am now unlikely to visit

@Wild Blue You are such a good journal writer! This morning (Indonesia time zone) i saw the title of your thread on Bimmerpost's home page (news feed) and initially i thought this was the X7 journal you did before (cause weirdly the thumbnail pic is the X7). Turns out its another road trip journal with an X5! I'm so excited and i finished reading the 12 pages journal in one sitting (takes about 2-3hrs) 😂 Your thread makes me miss my university days and i now i wanna fly back to North America and do a roadtrip from US to Canada to Alaska.
Thanks for the virtual road trip 😅 Cheers from Indonesia!

Thank you so much for gracing us with such a wonderful thread. I read the whole thread in its entirety which motivated me to actually make my very first post on this forum. I looked forward to the different landmarks and lived vicariously through your adventure. I now have additional locations added to my bucket list to visit with the wife. I really appreciate this thread so much.

Hello! Long time no see. My wife and I took delivery of our X5 when you did. What a blast that was!! The trip home through North Carolina back to East Tennessee was very nice as well. Now that I found your travel journal, I have some reading to do. Take care and God bless!

@Wild Blue What an epic road trip! I never missed your updates! Most importantly I am happy you are safe and sound back home. None of the travel channels come even close to showing the vast American expanse like you did. What stood out in your reports was an honest humble viewpoint of your trip - not reporting done by professional who fly in to national parks and give a peripheral version of what these areas would look like! And ofcourse you had an absolute beauty to help you along your ride!!! I know you mentioned this might be your last major road trip but looking at your energy and passion - I won't be surprised if you can pull of another great adventure!

I just finished reading your travel home. Wow! We take many day trips to and through the mountains of East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Occasionally we'll take a two day trip to somewhere fun. In the next year we should be taking a long trip or two and your trips may have expanded ours.

Wild Blue Thank you so very much for this masterpiece. Have you ever thought of adding a tiny amount and turning these into hardback books, I know for sure I would get a copy.
I am very jealous of what you have done and I salute you, from one veteran to another, you are a hero!!! |

Came across your X7 thread and really enjoyed it. Just finished your X5 thread and will be reading your other two trips! Wanted to let you know I had been considering PPF for my X5 and after your praise of Extreme Colors Auto Spa I contacted them for an appointment. |

Love the journey, on a side note have you investigated Peptides or Stem cells for your condition ?

Wild Blue , I just came across your post. We are picking up our Artic Grey xDrive40i in a couple of days. I can't wait to read your posts in more detail.
Did you track any stats for this trip? MPG, repairs, maintenance, etc? |
