Dad and I switched drivers about every 100 miles or so early in the day so that we didn't get so tired but since he is not comfortable driving around cities I ended up driving the final stretch through the Indiana and Ohio turnpike myself and then turned the final leg over to him at the PA b http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-309537.html We left Idaho Falls after 800. It was a pretty uneventful trip through Idaho..lots of potato fields for Thomas to drool over and we zigzagged across the Snake River. I didn't get a lot of pictures of interest from Idaho though There was some interesting landscape though as occasionally you'd go from really nice farm land to what looked like an ancient lava flow..it looked like old road bla http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-305139.html We got up and left Cody WY a bit after 700 a.m. I was driving as it looked like it was going to be another winding drive and I didn't know if it was going to be up hill or down hill Much to my surprise it was downhill Right outside of town there was a huge gorge with swift water running through it...had to get a picture of that We were only about 50 miles from Yellowstone at that point http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-304686.html We had a leisurely morning as we were doing the 1880 Train Ride at 1000 a.m. and it was right next door. The ride takes about 2 hours and it was a relaxing ride though it was totally full and by the time we were able to get on the only seats left were in the very back of the very last car so we had a hard time seeing things. Then when we were on the return trip the engine was now right in http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-303813.html Today was a little more relaxed driving wise since we'd knocked off so many miles in the first 2 days. We started out around 700ish again and as we were driving decided to stop in Mitchell SD to see the world famous Corn Palace...couldn't pass it up We had breakfast there then went to find the Corn Palace. They were in the process of changing the pictures and things already for 2009 go http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-303546.html We left this morning promptly at 400 a.m...after a quick turn around at the end of my driveway as I remembered that I'd forgotten my phone We pretty much had a none eventful trip though slightly behind what I wanted due to a 600 a.m. bathroom break for Stephen and to grab a cup of coffee for meWe got to Breezewood then about 915 and to the farm around 1145. We spent about an hour there http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-302526.html Only one more day until liftoff My oldest sister Cathy has come onboard too so I'll at least have another driver I still hope to get Stephen behind the wheel once we get into the open plains..The boys and I will leave early on Sunday morning think 400 a.m. and we will drive to Pittsburgh to pick up Dad Cathy. Barring any problems we should be there before noon then take a break and http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-301606.html I'm just testing out the site to make sure it works before we leave. I'm still not sure of how we're going to get Dad but we'll work it out somehow http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-300164.html Motorhome News from North America 26 15th October 25th October 2006 New York New York and Washington Somewhere amongst our 35mm slide archives back home therersquos a photo of Janice and I looking across the bay towards Sydney Harbour Bridge. ldquoWersquove arrivedrdquo Janice said smiling. ldquoThis is Australia.rdquo By that time we had already been in Australia f http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Suffolk/blog-99073.html I spent the better part of Sunday in a congested fog and slept on the couch recovering my strength for the week ahead. Sunday night I ran into a friend and ended up spending the better part of the evening hanging out with him enjoying his company. Since I had been planning on making homemade powerbars on Sunday evening I had to put off my baking endeavors until Monday morning.
