Good morning, my friends. We're two days from home now, and we'll be back in our home state of Oregon by the end of today. For the first time this trip, we drove in the rain yesterday. Thick cloud cover made it a dark drive, and it rained off and on most of the day.

Good morning, my friends. We're 216 miles closer to home this morning. We still have three days of driving ahead of us, and a long way to go. If I had to choose one word to describe yesterday's drive, it would be "monotonous." So, first, I'll tell you about the most exciting part of the day, and then we'll end with the monotony. How does that sound? I know...monotony. Everybody's favorite.
As we sat eating our Sunday morning pancakes, four wild turkeys strolled by.

Good morning, my friends. We have arrived!!! Let the off-road fun begin!!! We're just waking up and drinking our coffee, but we'll be heading out soon to drive Shafer Canyon Road, which is a part of Canyonlands National Park. We ended up in Moab some years back when we had to run for our lives from a big storm in Colorado. Our entire itinerary was wiped out that trip, and we ended up in Moab where we rented a Jeep and drove Shafer Canyon Road. That was nearly 20 years ago, and we've wanted to come back ...

Good morning, my friends. This morning's blog post is coming to you from the official stationary Three Cats Ranch. It's good to be home. I have a lot to tell you, so let's just get started, shall we?
We left Mt. Vernon, Oregon, early yesterday morning, ready for a drive of about 280 miles. It ended up seeming longer because we were making our way through winding mountain passes. As we got closer to the city of Portland, traffic was heavier. We were fortunate to miss the miles-long back-up going the other direction toward the end of ...

Good morning, my friends. We had a short day of driving yesterday, and we checked off our last sight-seeing item of the trip at Shoshone Falls, near Twin Falls, Idaho. Anticipating a short drive, we could luxuriate in a leisurely morning. Sadie was happy to have more time taking her morning sunbath.

Good morning, my friends. Well...the best laid plans.... We find ourselves in Perry, Utah, this morning. While hitching up yesterday morning, Mike noticed another broken leaf spring on the RV. You might recall we had a broken leaf spring at the beginning of this trip while we were in Petaluma, California. (Sigh.) It probably broke because of a broken bolt that would have tweaked the spring and put pressure on it. These sorts of things are caused by the rough roads we've traveled. Hopefully, Mike can find the part he needs to replace it, and then it will ...

read moreGood morning, my friends. We crossed over into Utah yesterday afternoon. We'll be heading back across the state line into Colorado for today's activities, but it doesn't change the fact that we're one state closer to home.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, it was a slow morning since our day of driving would be short. I spent some time working on my slow stitching, and made a little more progress.

Good morning, my friends. Well, I told Mike I should have named this trip the Forty-niners trip...49 states, 49 years married. We knew there were no good restaurants ("good," meaning the kind of place you go for a celebration) in Kremmling, and so we decided to have a celebratory breakfast yesterday morning. We started with mimosas, and then moved on to breakfast. Mike had Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict. I had a really gorpy Caramel Apple Hotcake. Mine sounded better on the menu than it tasted in my mouth, but no matter. It was a nice way to celebrate. We ...
