Cautiously Optimistic

That's us.

Well we’ve had two good long days and a short one today and are just outside Kingman, AZ tonight.  The truck continues to run strong and smooth.  We are finally in the desert where it cools off at night; yeah!  Don’t know what our connection will be like for the next few days so thought I’d give you our plans.

We were able to get two days stay at the Furnace Creek Resort in Death Valley for Monday and Tuesday.  So that is the plan for now.  We hope to go from there to Lancaster Wed and on to Moorpark Thursday.  Beyond that, just get to Redmond, OR by the 9th of April. 

Teri got a few more shots from the hip, so to speak.

This means Texas is visible only in the rear view mirror
Then, with Texas only a nagging memory, there was New Mexico overpass art.






Updates when ever I get time and a connection.

Stay between the ditches.
