Redwood Motel Osceola

Happy birthday Nick! 25 years young. Unfortunately on his birthday we had to drive 10 hours. We left at 11am to Warrensburg, MO to deliver our bunnies, Maggie and Sam to Kristin. She is a nice girl who responded to my craiglist ad to foster our bunnies. She has ...

... sind immer noch wie vorher. Zum beispiel sage ich immer verrückte sachen oder ich tue was verrücktes. Alle haben die Bilder mit Gregor angeschaut und haben gefragt, wie wo was- wie laufts deine Beziehung, wo wird euch wöhnen, wann werden wir heiraten, wann kommt kinder.... ich sagte, Gregor und ich haben noch zeit aber wenn was passiert, werde ich was sagen.

Morgen gibts einkaufen und am Samstag gehen wir ins Kino. Ich schrieb euch später!!

... Also, I'm beginning to realize its not just PA that smells like a big pile of manure but pretty much every gas station we stop at. Can't wait to get to those mountains!! Lincoln was a ghost town when we got there not much to do or see. The hotel was similarly empty. My extremely exciting day came to end with a viewing of part I of the csi trilogy. I bet you can hardly wait for tomorrow's update...

... serious trials but we endure with hope for what the future offers. Optimism is a trait shared by the Saints today. We have faith. We know that the future will be welcoming. We will endure.

In Omaha to visit my niece. I will see them tomorrow. It's been a long day and lots of miles. Anyone planning on doing this kind of trip, 300 miles a day is enough!! Out of here on Sa************ing for Mt Rushmore, then to Vegas for a rest, then head home. It's been a great trip, more ups than downs.

In Dallas we again had plenty of time. The plane that was to take us on to Omaha was late arriving in Dallas, but they expedited the boarding process as much as they could and I think most of the time was made up by the time we arrived back in Omaha.

We got off the plane to be greeted by our sons. That was a nice way to come home after a long and really wonderful expedition. We really had no major problems ...

... appreciated the help.



Brian took us to the airport where we met the Kings. After checking in we all had lunch together...Jim, Carol, Chad, Todd, Joyce, Brian, and me. After lunch the boys took off and we headed to security. Our plane was a little late leaving, but nothing major.

I spent most of the day today driving in front of, behind and to the side of, what looked to be quite a large storm, complete with dark clouds, lightning, and, as rumor would have it (according to the good people at AM 570) tornados. Part of me wanted to see a tornado firsthand, however, it retrospect, it's probably a good thing that I didn't. Still, the drive from Minnesota to ...

... town compared to Chicago and the HI Cornerstone hostel is located in the basement of a church. What a religious experience this is, I thought. The people are much more open here, and the girls from the nearby University of Nebraska are stunningly beautiful. This was just a stopover for me as tomorrow I will going west again, into the foothills of the Rockies.
