All this time I thought you would travel with a military pup tent and you're actually livin' the high life with that big tent! ;-) This is great and I hope you enjoy your trip as much as we do from the back seat.

You are so great!
Rob- I tried to think of every excuse in the world to come to your retirement party, but work just didn't get done in time. Congrats on your retirement and then congrats again for getting your old job back. I have enjoyed reading your blog and the best is that you do it in true PR form....cutlines for your photos and all of the necessary background to make the reader feel like they were there! I hope you have an absolute blast on this trip. And for JoLynn, you have to remember how wonderful it is when Rob arrives at home! I'm so glad you included me to receive your blog. I can hardly wait until you're gone! Stay safe and remember digital pictures are free---take lots of them! On a side note, I volunteered for the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis as a "media something-something" (they won't tell me my title until it begins). I'm really excited to see all of the action unfold. And even better, I will be on the outside looking in. I hope it gives me a whole new perspective. Love, Jessica Brokaw

Be careful and take care. Lucy Mae will be very excited to see her rugged g-father. We'll be praying for you in Kentucky. Have fun!

NOTE TO SELF (ahem)
The "movie comment" about "not a great movie to take your wife to when you will not see your wife for 30 days" is a riot. Jolynn... you are so awesome......................... Rob-- your blog is already enlightening............ i look forward to the read. I sent it thru the SA network... so you should be getting even more sign up. HEY... you can try to beat Murphy's unique hits record.

Go Rob Go!
Hey Rob. I'll be checking your blog all the way wishing I was there. Have a great trip and know that I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you! Bubba

The Road to Mandalay (Alaska)
Rob, Bear (you know I had to work rabid roaring ravenous bears into this somehow) in mind when you are blogging your trip, that many of us following the action will never get any closer to true motorcycle adventure than slapping our copy of “Easy Rider” into the DVD player. We don’t need any sore posterior stories or to hear about how many pounds of dead bugs you find in between your teeth. We are living vicariously through you on this trip and we expect you to realize The Dream. We expect this trip blog to be the greatest thing since Bob Hope and Bing Crosby went out on the Road to Mandalay. (no pressure) We want to hear about how you and your sidekick Billie get thrown into a jail in Mississippi and your lawyer Jack Nicholson gets you out just in time for Marti Gras. ( no pressure again) And if the trip isn’t that good – we expect you to lie. But seriously, I am green with envy and I’ll be watching for every posting and my wish for you is to have the kind of trip that leaves Peter Fonda spinning in the dust. God Bless, be safe and don’t forget to pack a little moleskin!!! Chuck Scott

Ride of a lifetime
Rob, you will have the ride of a lifetime. What a great experience. Don't forget to wear bells as you travel through Alaska...that way the bears know where you are; which might be a bad thing as well. Maybe you can do a TV show like survivor man where you eat bugs and snakes and melt snow (stay away from the yellow snow, it is not lemon flavoing). Can't wait to read more about the trip. This seems kind of like the movie Wild Hogs.. ha ha!!!! travel safe! Murph
