Wir hätten ihm das beide noch glatt abgekauft, so wie d** das rüb** gebracht hat.

... in Merced to gas up at Costco where the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Warm sunshine with a cool breeze--idyllic really.

We made it to the Bakersfield Hampton Inn and went for a swim before dinner, then brought in pizza and watched one of our Inspector Lewis DVDs. Nice day.

... we are now four days away from hitting the road. Ending destination is Mount Rushmore, SD.

Yes, there is a little unrest inside of us. Will we really make it that far? Will we survive as a family? Flashbacks of comedy movies such as "RV" come to our minds in the wee hours of the night giving us chills.

We will keep you updated as we go or change our minds before leaving.

Finally the claims are completed and now it is"sit back and wait for the money” time.

In the meantime before China I'd signed Justin and I up for a claims conference with Crawford which takes place in Dallas TX this week. We have signed up for workshops to get ...

... the trip. Nate suggested postponing until October. The problem with postponing is that my brother's job has worked around this trip and an October departure would be difficult. We will see what the CDC does on Monday but at this time the virus does not look like it is bad so we may just take the chance and go. Just don't want to be quarantined.

... lån Anders :o). Efter shop amok, gik turen mod Hover Dam. Vi havde set den fra luften, men vi ville gerne se den "IRL", så vi kørte ud til den. Og den er STOR. Vi gik over den og tilbage igen, hvorefter vi tog mod San Francisco. Selve turen mod San Francisco gik sydover, for derefter at gå mod nordvest. Vi havnede desværre i det amerikanerne ...

... 4.99 at the truck stop - a great investment. While eating Taco Bell with truckers, we unfolded the map and made an insane decision - drive over 400 miles to Big Basin Redwoods, a state park between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Our ETA, midnight - another 4-5 hours of driving from Bakersfield. We passed the time talking about how stupid our decision was. We're going to a park we know very ...

Having exhausted everything that there was to do in Beatty, we decided that we should get back on the road again. I must admit that I was feeling a bit rough today, whereas Lynne was feeling smug because she predicted I would get ill after my salt tasting experiment the day before.

Safe in Knowledege that the 'kids' were safely locked away in the other carriage with their parents, we sat down on what would be our last train journey in America. We had covered some 7000 miles, spent many a sleepless night and crossed over about30 of Americas 50 odd states.
