Rockin’ the Arch

We have been traveling one full week, (and an hour, really) at this point.  Tonight we are staying @ Sleep Inn, where the customer service is non-existent, and there’s a beeping noise two rooms down (that they are refusing to do anything about, since “someone is in that room”).  I imagine that the LAST thing [...]

Miz-ery for the night…

Today we drove over 300 miles ACROSS South Dakota, then over 300 miles south from there, through Iowa, and eventually settling in Missouri for the night.  We are finally in our new time zone, so that’s a plus.  (The kids pronounce it Misery, though, due to the humidity they aren’t used to).  We experienced our [...]

The 4 Rock-Heads

So – this morning we left Montana, and I know why they call it “Big Sky” . The picture really doesn’t do justice to the feeling:    OH and Rick forgot to get a receipt this morning when we stopped for gas in Lewistown.  So while he’s at the red light I ran, in only my [...]

Where are we, again?

CA-NADA…..

We’ve gone another grueling 600+ miles today as we covered ground from Watson Lake (boooo!) to Dawson Creek, BC (not too shabby). I realize that I jipped you on last night’s installment of our travels, and I will try to make that up to you tonight.  Currently, my driver (Rick) is passed out in the [...]

Carnival of Signs

We are resting in Watson Lake this evening, and boy was it a long day.  We traveled 667 miles, from Tok to Watson Lake, and over some horrible frost heaves!  BUT we’ve made it, and woohoo are we glad. This evening I walked the dogs down to the “Carnival of Signs” (as Kylen calls it, [...]

The JOURNEY has begun

We’ve witnessed our belongings being shoved into boxes, and put in the truck.  Today started our journey of 7,000 (more really) miles.  We have only traveled 209 miles so far. First things first, we stopped to sign out on leave.  THEN, we stopped by to see Santa Claus at his place.  He just got back [...]
