July 3rd We accepted a new load today that delivers to New Hampshire. Looks like this trip is a great one for marking off states that we have been to. Three so far; Vermont, New Hampshire and California. We passed by the Crater Lake park and again, what more can I say that these pictures can't say so much better? I will comment on the stream that we stopped by and tried to get some closer views and some pictures. Lovely scene. Awesome sounds. Refreshing taste. VICIOUS MOSQUITOES!!! We spent about a minute or two, basking in the ignorant bliss [View Full Entry]

787 June 30-July 1st 2008 Kevin can't drive very much today or tomorrow because he's run out of hours for the whole week. The trucking industry has some very tight and sometimes stupid rules....since he drove too much a week ago (he gets 70 hours for the whole week) then he can't drive more today. Although it seems like there is no "overtime" in this industry, it doesn't feel like from day to day. Anyway, we went to San Francisco, didn't get to see the bay or ocean, but boy are there a lot of farms here. Flower farms (carnations, snap [View Full Entry]

June 28th 2008 Picked up a load in Atlanta and we are going to California. I've never been there before at all and Kevin's only been there once. We'll get to see a lot of new stuff. We are in Oklahoma right now We are passing through Cherokee nation right now. I took some pictures of a river, a field that had been cleared by burning and we passed a trading post (a shopping/touristy place) but I didn't get a picture of that. By the time we stop tonight, we should have gained an hour and be in Mountain time. June [View Full Entry]

One of our pets just had to have surgery on his jaw. I am going to be home for the next several weeks trying to nurse him back to health. [View Full Entry]

We are shut down early tonight on our way to Dallas. Here is why. The "smiley" will show you where we are. The poorly drawn arrow shows the direction the storm is traveling. [View Full Entry]

Guess what I see when we wake up in the morning??? Roller Coasters!!! There is an amusement park ( I am guessing a Six Flags) in the distance, probably less than a mile away!!!! We gots to stay here in the summertime and go ride some coasters!!! Woohoo! Ahem. Anyway, we picked up some animal litter for a Petsmart in Dallas. We are cutting across some plains in Kansas. I wonder how many wagons traveled across these same plains, and how many settlers looked out at a sunset like the one I see right now. [View Full Entry]

Went from Wichita to Kansas City today. I sent an email to a friend who lives in 'KC' ( :) ) to see if we could meet up. Unfortunately, he was working and didn't get the mail until late. We talked for a few minutes, he didn't know we were back on the road in the truck again. Maybe next time. The drive from Wichita was eventful. We saw two wrecks on the other side of the road. One had just happened and the person was in the median, facing the wrong direction. Nothing life threatening, but they were probably a [View Full Entry]

In the life of a person on the road, sometimes something bad could happen (we see it all the time) and an abrupt absence could signal a bad accident and no one in the family went around online to let any passive observers know. Or, as is an internet custom, people simply grow bored of a forum or community and wander away. Since I am back, obviously the first thing didn't happen, and the second one is not true either. I will explain what actually did happen, make a short little rant, then get on with the business as usual and [View Full Entry]

First Off. WHAT is with all the dead skunks? I realize they are groggy and think it is spring, but why do they all try to celebrate by having a party on the pavement? There are dead skunks and their stink all over the place. We've been through two spray cans of orange scented air purifiers. March 1st 2008 Setting out on our way down to Wichita. We went back through Louisville. Saw a 6-7 car pile up on I-65. No one looked hurt, but it had JUST happened. They were all in the passing lane (which made them close to [View Full Entry]

February 23rd, 2008 We delivered the trailer to a Walmart in Joplin, and went inside for some supplies. Guinea pigs got green leaf lettuce (Puffkin's favorite lettuce) and we got some necessities. Kevin bought a carpet remnant for the truck, and they had a car vaccum for clearance. We stopped at a Petsmart on the way out of town and got two new guinea pig water bottles, since a couple of the old ones were now leaking. I think we had dog food in the trailer and took it back to Arkansas. Left Arkansas for Mississippi; a town somewhere south of [View Full Entry]
