Figured I'd create a blog of our trip, mainly for our family but if any from the Nomad family is interested I'll try to update daily.

You guys are really adding the miles. More great pictures.

What you want to bet, the trucker saw your wife going out into the grass and decided he would get closer? Those truckers never miss an opportunity.

Kris, I really appreciate the offer but you're pretty much right over the border from my brother and we'll be staying with him in your neck of the woods. I'll be talking to him in the next few days so I'll find out if he's looking at Saturday or Sunday for a ride and let you and Rickyboy know.
