Internet has been kinda spotty, maybe when we get home I'll post a lot more about our trip. Sort of bittersweet today in that we have turned around, heading east thru southern Arizona and New Mexico...Texas tomorrow. We're hoping to be in Boothbay, Maine for Thanksgiving. That is a lot of miles, and I'm not sure we'll make it. The trip has been awesome with just a few anxious moments, especially the ones where we'd planned to arrive someplace before dark but didn't. Hardly anything worse than driving uphill in mountains, in the dark to some place you are totally unfamiliar with, only to find you are the only people there and there isn't a place to turn around.
Then there was Winslow,AZ where it was blowing a steady 40 mph. We forgot to lock the truckbed cover and as I was turning around in a parking lot the wind caught the cover and it opened, creating a very nasty wound in the front of the camper. A roll of aluminum flashing and some of my beloved "Eternabond" tape made fro a fine temporary repair. All in all, this has been a really fun and enlightening adventure that I hope others will have an opportunity to experience. We've logged about 5040 miles so far.
