19th November 2009 Terry Chaka	Loving Life - From: Last Entry You both really know how to enjoy life! That's what I love about you!
18th November 2009 T	- From: Last Entry Well, I (personally) think the very best part was when you were in Knoxville!!! Love you two.
10th September 2009 katie myers	worked there too - From: Sunny Brook Farm I too worked at Sunny Brook Farm for about 4 years 20 years ago. Was in South Haven in May and yes the place still stands but now beautiful and modern. Yes sad to see the old go but maybe it was time. I vacationed there as a child during its hey day...worked there at the end trying to keep a hold of that....not meant to be.
11th March 2009 Sheila K	Sunny Brook Farm Resort Memories - From: Sunny Brook Farm From one SBFR employee to another--I worked as a waitress during the summers of 1971, 1972, and 1973 as well as playing the piano for the Monday Night "Drink-along" or rather Sing-along. I'd gone back a few times in the 1970s, but not again until 1990 when I got to see Denny and catch up with one of my favorite guests. Needless to say, I was suprised that the old place had gone through some changes. Thanks for your update. Happy travels. Sheila
10th January 2009 Don	Finally Out of Tejas - From: El Paso Finally! You got through Texas and onto the other side!
1st January 2009 anonymous	- From: We Are Home! that is so sweet you got to spend the holiday with rich's folks . I really have enjoyed your travels right along with youns do take care and i will be back for the last entry as you call it. love youns B
29th December 2008 Phil	Missions - From: Missions I wonder if the mission at Pecos, NM was part of the chain of Spanish missions you speak of?
29th December 2008 Phil	Remember the Volunteers - From: Alamo Sam Houston had been Governor of TN and had a host of volunteers from Tennessee (that's where the name comes from) along with him to help in relief of those who fought & died at the Alamo. Obviously Houston was too late for that fracus but he helped (along with the volunteers) Texas win its independence and eventually became Governor of TX; the only man to serve as governor of two different states. He even had a huge city named after him, although it wasn't huge back then when it wasn't even a city, feelme?
29th December 2008 Phil	40 miles - From: To San Antonio Capt. Lewis could walk 30 miles in a day up the Mo river banks in 1805. I'd think a horse & rider could do 40 in less than 3 days, especially since Tx cattle are less horny than those in La.
29th December 2008 Phil	Getting out of Alabama - From: Mississippi It's well you got out of Alabama safely. Handgun sales have been brisk there, I hear. Ever since the Russians invaded Georgia, Baman's have been set on keeping them out of Alabama!
21st December 2008 T	- From: Arizona Hey sweeties! I think you should rename the photo 'twins' to 'tripletts'! It was great to hear your voices. T
19th December 2008 Seth	Cool - From: Missions Wow! What a cool place! Love the carvings.
18th December 2008 Rubber Bums	Great Ride - From: To San Antonio We worked out that if the million acres were in a rough square, it would be a little more than 40 miles across. It would take you three comfortable, enjoyable days to ride all the way across. Isn't that neat?
16th December 2008 T	Great Ride - From: To San Antonio Rich, I can't imagine what an amazing experience it would be to take off on your best horse with ample provisions and ride across one million acres. Do you think I would be cured by the end? How long would it actually take? Only in my dreams! I hope you guys took some pictures. By the way, I just asked Phil wasn't it time for you all to come over......we sure miss your faces! Much love, T
14th December 2008 Don	Back in Knoxville - From: Mississippi Last year on our way to Camp Shelby, before we went through Meridian and Hattiesburg, we also saw the exit sign for Knoxville (in very unpopulated west Alabama before the MS state line). Naturally, we just had to stop. About the only place to pull into, though, was at a truck stop/convienence store thingy. I think I took a photo of the exit sign, but I'd have to srounge around to find it.
14th December 2008 Don	Told Ya So - From: Natchez Trace Told ya it'd be a pleasant ride and camp
13th December 2008 anonymous	- From: Goin' to Alabama wow yall know where to find all the cool stuff lions cool ducks waterfalls what a trip.You all be careful we love ya
9th December 2008 anonymous	- From: Traditional Day-After I love the family pics very good job on them
9th December 2008 anonymous	- From: Shopping and Leaving oh how sweet .That really was my first real game Thanks for the orange shoes
19th November 2008 Don	Skyline - From: Shenandoah National Park Oh, good. When I heard you were in the area, I had hoped you'd see the Shenendoah Valley in VA and go on the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. The Skyline in VA is the same idea. Coolness. Are you going to go through Lee Co. in VA by any chance (the southwest corner where KYTNVA meet)?
14th November 2008 Phil Guthe	Lost in New York City - From: New York City????? How funny. On our trip to Boston in 1984, we pulled similar navigational errors and actually did go through Harlem and the rest, spoke with the toll operator and got a pass while being told we were way lost.
14th November 2008 Phil Guthe	Witches & global warming - From: Salem Witches I think the witch in the Salem photo used to work for me! Also, the ship aground in the harbor, is that a result of global warming?
14th November 2008 Phil Guthe	a little behind - From: Boston Tour In time, not physically, of course! T & I took the kids to Boston in 1984 and saw everything you described. I had a dayjavoux all over again!
6th November 2008 Barbra	WOW! - From: Valley Forge I would really have to love someone to follow him around in the cold, doing his cooking and laundry!
3rd November 2008 Rubber Bums	Newport - From: Newport Hey! We thought of Hearst Castle, too. At least he didn't think his was a normal home to be lived in. :)
3rd November 2008 Chris Koch	been there too! - From: Newport I couldn't believe it when I opened up yesterdays blog and you were in Mystic. Been there, did laundry somewhere. The next day we also went to Newport and walked through the Breakers. Your right, a little over the top but interesting kind of like Hearst Castle Hey, we finally got some rain here. I think it is the first parade we have sat through that it rained.
30th October 2008 T	Newport - From: RI and CT Hey lovies! I just finished reading John Jakes' The Gods of Newport. Have been wondering if you would get there. I believe it is now called Aquidneck Island. At any rate, those were some crazy people and amazing 'cottages'. I investigated online. The Cliff Walk appears to be a most excellent adventure, in the true Guthe sense of the word. Thanks for keeping us up to date...can't wait to see your faces! T
29th October 2008 Barbra	field trips - From: Concord Guess what? I don't miss field trips either! But I am enjoying your trip! : )
28th October 2008 Rubber Bums	Hosmer - From: Concord Thanks! The Alcotts and the Hosmers in Concord were friends. Probably the same Hosmers, but decendants.
28th October 2008 Chris KOch	more memories - From: Boston Tour Wow, another day and more memories for me. I remember walking the Freedom Trail in Boston. I also went to Old Ironsides and ate chowder at Faneuil Hall (my first clam chowder). The only difference in our days was that we used the subway to go to Harvard and into town and we had to walk. I just showed my photo alblum to the kids of the graveyard, Old North Church, Revere's house and mall, Copps Hill, and first public school a couple of weeks ago. Thanks again for the updated photos and the chance to ride along with you.
28th October 2008 Carol	true story - From: Concord Hi sis! your brother-in-law had a relative with flaming red hair who was shot at the Concord Bridge at the beginning of the Revolutionary War in the, "shot heard round the world". Abner Hosmer was a drummer boy, barely into puberty, who was shot dead at the bridge on that fateful day. His place of burial is in question. His grave was dug up and moved with several others at the centennial, or bicentennial, celebration. His flaming red hair was still there (so the story goes)!We enjoyed the Freedom Trail a couple of summers ago on our sister trip, which you were unable to attend. Glad you got to experience it! THE FLEDGLING, by Jane Langton takes place in Concord. It mentions many of the houses you mentioned, and Walden Pond. It is one of those 6th grade level books that stays with you. Since I am a school librarian, it hasn't been that long ago that I read it. See you in a month! Carol
27th October 2008 Chris Koch	memories - From: Concord Your pictures of the bridge and Concord remind me of my trip in high school. We couldn't walk near the bridge because the water was too high from spring rains. I just reviewed all of this with the fifth graders and am reading them Johnny Tremain. It may not make anything relevant for them but it sure does for me. Thanks for all of your writing I have so enjoyed reading your adventures, that is in between correcting papers :).
Affinity For Travel 23rd October 2008 Affinity	- From: Cape Cod How WONDERFUL for you :) !!! I wish you every joy on the Cape. I'm from the Cape, now living in Europe & we do get back "home" every few years but I do enjoy reading Cape Cod blogs to keep "in touch". Might I suggest if you have time, Chatham, my home town is a must see :) if I do say so myself! Nantucket & Martha's Vineyard too! The ferry can take you from Hyannis. Have an experience of a lifetime & keep blogging! Thanks, Affinity~
17th October 2008 anonymous	- From: They were Leaving what georgous view's . and your little man is so handsome
17th October 2008 sheila	pleasing to eye and pallet - From: Leaf Peeping I love all that you send, including the diesel & ethyl potty humor. I had the same eye problem, Nancy, and it did go away. Oh what a glorious gourmet you are feasting upon.... as colorful as the scenery, pleasing to the eye and pallet! - Sheila
15th October 2008 maud	ducks - From: Colors Nancy and Rich, we have more ducks than we need, so if you would like some when you get back, come over and we can catch a few. Maud
11th October 2008 anonymous	- From: Rochester Im still amazed at all the things you guys are doing I hope to enjoy half as much someday before I die.Good luck and GOD BLESS your travels . Cant wait for the slide shows. Love youns, Betty
10th October 2008 Phil Guthe	Hello! - From: Rochester Terrye helped me get connected to your blog so I was able to see what you've been up to. How great! I thought the old screwal in Rochester had been torn down? Janet says she wants to return to Rochester just to walk the school route and back like we used to did back in the day. Off to screwal, home for lunch, back to screwal then home again at the end of the day. I remember it being a mile and uphill each way. In the winter when the snow was piled 6 - 8 feet high, I held a baked potato wrapped in foil to keep my hands warm on the way to scoo, then ate the potato for a snack. I have memories, too!
8th October 2008 Rubber Bums	Quarter - From: Nebraska A section is one mile square. A quarter is a quarter of that, so it could be a square that has a half mile on a side. A section is 640 acres, so a quarter is 160 acres. When we lived in Wasco, CA, the town was on a one square mile section. Our Guthe family farm in Nebraska was a section (I think) with the stipulation that one acre in the corner be set aside for a school. There is still a school on that acre and it is still being used (but it's a newer school than 1900).
8th October 2008 Rubber Bums	- From: Sunny Brook Farm Hi, Jane! We should have waved for you, too! We love comments. Write as many as you want.
8th October 2008 Jane Martin	Just had to respond - From: Sunny Brook Farm I realize that you don't want a jillion replies to your wonderful travel logs, but.....just had to respond to this one as you were stomping on soil where I've walked. Chicago....my birth place.... Michigan...where I attended college, lived and taught there, too. Have even picked many a piece of fruit (near where you were, I think), learning to pick the fruit and let it roll down my arm into a basket attached to my body...fun but hot work! Happy trails! Miss you! Continue having fun!
6th October 2008 T	1/4 of a lot - From: Grand Island It's amazing what 1/4 of a million will purchase...in my office, a new scanner that produces 3D images of the patient's skull. In Nebraska, an amazing green machine! By the way...what is a quarter of land? Quarter of a mile? I'm glad you are having such an adventure...keep the stories coming! T
4th October 2008 anonymous	- From: Nebraska hey I am so glad to know all is well. You guys are havin a blast and i am so happy for ya. It is great reading your adventures. Keep up the good work. Love youns
30th September 2008 Rubber Bums	yes - From: Wyoming You got that part right. except for the Denver portion. After Cheyenne, we continued on "80" and will follow it almost to New York. Then we swing north.
29th September 2008 Don	As I Said - From: Wyoming Alright! You are now technogeeks. Go Wifi! And motels and public libraries and schools have internet, too. Look for restaurants, bars, and public places, like parks and court houses for free Wifi, too. So, it would seem this trip is going to be about injuries, huh? I've been on the interstate from Denver to Cheyenne, across southern Wyoming, and into Salt Lake City. Is that the route you're going on?
27th September 2008 anonymous	- From: Across Nevada that does seem like u all r havin a blast.Altho I think Rich had to much fun.He wanted to swim with those fishes.
27th September 2008 T	Decorations - From: Across Nevada By the time you guys reach Thanksgiving celebration, Rich's forhead should be lovely shades of autumn and greatly contribute to the holiday decor. Thoughtful of you, Rich! Really, please take care! Love you. T
26th September 2008 Rubber Bums	invisible - From: Sheep That's because I couldn,t figure out how to do the pictures so I sent the blog out without it! AAAAAAAAAAh!
19th September 2008 T	Parking Space - From: Testing I can't believe you're leaving already! It will be such fun to keep up with you guys via the blog. Take lots of photos for a family slide show...it will possibly be the largest attendance ever! Safe tavels and remember, your parking space awaits! Much love, T
19th September 2008 Don	Great Idea - From: Testing I'm so stoked that you finally got around to doing a travelblog. I had hoped you'd have done on previous travels. Now, it is my hope you'll use it for every excursion (not just this one). Awesome, dudes. WiFi is great.
