Well, our whirlwind tour is complete. We are home. Today was by far the hardest of days. In the days before leaving Alamogordo for home, we were aware of a pending winter storm along our route. However, reports we were watching implied that we’d probably encounter very little problem. Ugh. So much for reports andContinue reading “Day 11 – Home in Council Bluffs”

Day 10 – Alamogordo to Elk City
It is with a little disappointment that we left Alamogordo this morning at 9 a.m. (CDT) Scott and I both really like spending time with Scott’s family. His parents are fantastic people to just hang around with. Terry and her two girls are a blast! Eleanor is just about the cutest little bug you canContinue reading “Day 10 – Alamogordo to Elk City”
Pictures of our Trip
Since we’re visiting with Scott’s family, there’s not really a lot to write about. We’ve been here in Alamogordo since Tuesday afternoon. We’ve had a great time chatting and getting caught up with Mudda & Pops, Terry, and Bethany & Eleanor! I’ve been trying to be a little helpful getting some of their computer problemsContinue reading “Pictures of our Trip”
Day 8 – From Barstow to Alamogordo
Wait a minute! What happened to Days 4 through 6? Yes, I know, I HEARD you ask that question! In my last blog entry, Scott and I, intrepid explorers that we are, had safely arrived in Barstow, California. Okay, really we had arrived in Yermo, California, which is about 6 miles east of Barstow onContinue reading “Day 8 – From Barstow to Alamogordo”
Day 3 – Gallup to Barstow
AFter the last couple of days, today has been a nice, relaxing drive. The sun has been shining the entire day, the temperature has been steadily climbing. We’ve had relatively little wind. We’ve been able to maintain a pretty steady speed of near 75 mph. We’ve just passed through Needles, California, where we filled up. Continue reading “Day 3 – Gallup to Barstow”
Day 2 – Calamet, OK, to Gallup, NM
Hi, again! Today’s journey was a long one! 654.3 miles to be exact. I’ve driven longer, Scott and I once drove from Houston to Omaha without stopping except for gas and food. But pulling a trailer 654.3 miles makes for a long day in my book. We got off to a fairly early start, aboutContinue reading “Day 2 – Calamet, OK, to Gallup, NM”
Day 1 – Iowa to Oklahoma
I certainly never anticipated that this post would be coming so late. Today’s journey has been a little daunting! Scott and I left home at 7:30 a.m., heading for Camping World where our trailer was… and then, we left home AGAIN at 7:50 a.m., heading to Camping World! The first time through, we made itContinue reading “Day 1 – Iowa to Oklahoma”
It’s Official!
Most of my regular readers will actually know this already, due to a flurry of emails I sent out earlier (but not MUCH earlier!) As of today, I am no longer unemployed! At about 3:30 p.m. today local time, I accepted an job offer from a local governmental agency. Once things are really secured, I’llContinue reading “It’s Official!”
Planning a Road Trip
I collect minutiae. I don’t recall it, but I do collect t! Well, at least when I travel. When I was growing up, we took lots of road trips. We drove to the east coast, and to Canada. We drove once to Mexico City. Days were filled with traditions. We always started early. Very early. Continue reading “Planning a Road Trip”
