Hope you can get the belt back to where it was Wednesday!

We had a great day.

Lots of food

Watched some football, including Sophia!




































Thanks Don and Sue for hosting again this year.
Glad we came home for the holidays.

Today is now November 25

Kearney, NE

Hi all
All most 700 miles today.
We are tired,
quick sub
a glass of wine
a shower and
off to bed.

Drive was intense
and I70 in Colorado is a spectacular drive.


Rest areas are interesting.
Guess they ran out of important people to name things after.

Sunset on the road
at a rest area.

Tomorrow we should be home
a little shorter than today
and if we get an earlier start..........

Look out Fargo,
here we come.

4 states in one day!

Hi all
We did well today.
about 550 miles and made it to
Fruita, Colorado.
Staying at a LaQuinta Inn
they are a bit more expensive,
but do not have "per pet" charges
that could make less expensive places
actually more expensive.
Looking forward to a good night's sleep
and breakfast tomorrow.
Going for 600 miles tomorrow
we shall see............

We got a good show
of the almost Super Moon
rising over the desert cliffs north of
Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.
So nice, had to pull over and attempt a few shots.







































Make your day great and enjoy the Super Moon.

Travel

Hi all
Today we start our trek home.
Time to find out how far we can go in a day.
Yesterday we got the trailer ready for and into storage.
Packed all the stuff going home in the back of the truck.
Had a great spaghetti dinner
With Shawn, Mark, Cassie and her children, and Dean.
Homemade sauce was excellent!
Thanks Shawn and Mark for your hospitality
And a little storage space.

See you tomorrow,  somewhere down the road.

Henderson, NV

Hi all
As you may have guessed
this is the end of our fall journey.
We have located storage for the BWB
Eaten out lots, really good food,
and purchased new paws for the truck.
Now we are packing up the BWB
and bringing home stuff that we have not used.
Extra clothes and gifts.
Going to be able to leave
some things with Shawn and Mark.
To lighten our load going home
and not wanting to leave in the trailer.
So great they are willing.
Tomorrow we will finish up
getting the trailer ready
sleep one more night in our BWB
and Sunday clean out the tanks
and place in storage till we get back.
So Monday Morning we head back home
to help Chelsey get into her new house
and do projects.
Thanksgiving with friends
and family for Christmas.
Then back to the fun and games.

Make each day great
and I will continue to post.

We're Back!

Hi all
Last few days in Valley of Fire State Park
was, no other words explain as well,
AMAZING!!!
So far I believe it ranks #1
on our top 10 list.
The camp sites in the dry area are just great

and out solar collector did a great job
keeping the batteries full after
evening and night usage.

We did many hikes


























couple of hours for the longest



















and saw so much nature carving,


sculpting and color pallets.








































I will just post a bunch of the photos
for you to enjoy, without too much print.



The Fur Kids really got into the sandstone.

As did Millie.






































The vistas on the drive were wonderful



And some of the other sites
such as the petroglyphs

Flora
Minerals

and last but certainly not least
Tom playing in the firelight with a flashlight!


Make your day great
Tom and Millie
