10,200 miles!!!


July 20, 2014  10,200 miles!!!!

Well we have 10 hours left and we should be home.  We spent the night just outside of Cheyenne boondocking again.  George is getting used to that and kind of likes it now.  We even like Walmart parking lots.  Last night we were at a very nice rest stop with some other semi’s.   We talked about our adventure and even after our Yellowstone adventure are glad we did it.  I reminded George how he wouldn’t even drive in San Francisco when I did a nursing tour there.  I had to drive when he came out to visit.  Now he’s a pro.  We can’t believe we survived the roads in Alaska and Canada and above all Yellowstone.  He said his tire was hanging off the road part way at one point and he couldn’t see the white line anymore.  Scary scary.  We will be sitting in our rockers one day saying, “remember when…”

Well, it’s midnight so we aren’t going to officially be home until July 21.  All in all it’s been a great trip.  We have lots of cleaning to look forward to now. 

Toto has been great.  He fell again trying to get into the truck and is limping pretty bad.  Poor thing.  Sometimes he jumps in and can make it and sometimes I have to kind of help him.  He flopped right our onto the cement before I could catch him last night.

Heading home with our little dog Toto.


July 11, 2014

We decided to load up and head back to Kansas.  It’s sad.  This is such a beautiful place.  This will be our first time really driving the 5th wheel.  We brought it 40 miles from Anchorage to Palmer but now we are facing about 4200 miles.  I think George is a little nervous about what to expect but we see all these “old” people driving so we figure if they can do it; we can too.  George doesn’t consider himself “old.”
