More time with the Hupps

A travel blog entry by huppwits

We wanted more time with family and friends in Tucson. One more round of thinning out stuff we don't need, picking up a few things we do, and getting Bertha ready to head east. It's been great to have time with the family and long talks. Oh and Julie learned how to shoot a rifle and a hand gun including a bit of self defense lessons too. Colin said it' a bit like his EMT.

Total miles driven since we left Anchorage: ...

Just how cold WAS it Johnny?

A travel blog entry by ralphieboyo

Who knows what Carson would have answered, but I do know it was cold here last night. We have no electric, but Grandma's quilt kept us warm. i got up at six AM to get the coffee going and watch the sunrise. I turned on the gas below the pot and tried the propane lighter... no luck. I tried again...the same. Finally I put the lighter in the flow of heat from the furnace. After a few moments "thawing out", it worked. That's cold, ...
