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”
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”
Hitting the Road
The winter chill seems to have settled in permanently over our home. We’re now in record breaking territory, as we have had in excess of 1 inch of snow on the ground for over 75 days. The previous record (records are for this locale, only) was 73 days back in 1974. And, unless we haveContinue reading “Hitting the Road”
interlude
Hi little world of mine! Scott and I had a wonderful trip last week! A long time ago… 17 years to be exact… MCC Omaha moved in to the building where we now meet. The partner of the man who was the pastor of MCC Omaha at the time was a master carpenter (hmmmm….) InContinue reading “interlude”
Home Again
Scott and I arrived home last night about 7:30 p.m., absolutely worn out from the day’s drive. The first 71 miles, from Limon, CO, to Brush, CO, along CO71 (I think) was not too bad. Little did we know we were being pushed along by a strong tail-wind! But once we hit I76 at Brush,Continue reading “Home Again”
Day 15 – The Road Home
We were on the road by 7:30 a.m. Weather was clear and sunny, very little wind, all the way up US54 from Alamogordo to Vaughn, NM. Unfortunately, at Vaughn, US54 was closed. Our plan had been to drive up US54 to just shy of Santa Rosa, then take US84 north to I25 just south ofContinue reading “Day 15 – The Road Home”
Day 14.5 – Snow Day
Well, not too much to report today. Scott and I remained pretty much holed up in the trailer today. We cleaned it out… again. I did the laundry. We watched weather reports. About 4 we went over to Mudder & Pops, and brought them over to see the trailer. Then we went to dinner atContinue reading “Day 14.5 – Snow Day”
