We're on the road!

Hey, we made it. We are on the road in our "big box on wheels"! We packed our motorhome in the rain on Saturday. What a mess. John, Kay and Brandon were there to pray with us before we left. Our neighbors came outside to wave and cheer us off. It was exciting....but we were exhausted!

Our goal for the day was Eugene OR and we made it at 1 AM. We found a safe parking lot and fell into bed. This morning we woke to pounding rain on the roof of our bbow [big box on wheels]. It is taking us a bit of time to find where we put things.

We've slept, we've eaten, we're refreshed and now we're on the road! The goal today is Yosemite. That's a long drive and we've gotten a later start than we had hoped but we excited and seeing country we haven't seen in a while.

Trivia for family and close friends: Gary actually left WITHOUT his calculator!

Yikes! No Calculator? I say it's not too late to turn around and get it, or you could have Grandma Fedex it to our house, if Gary can survive that long. Maybe he could pick up a cute little Yogi Bear Calculator at Yosemite to replace the old one. I'm sure the guys at the office would love that. Glad to hear you're on the road. I heard that a good spot for breakfast or lunch near the park is called "Happy Burger Diner" in Mariposa. It's got a hotspot too.
