Snapshot: As many of you know, we are back in the US, trying to adjust to the life we knew just 90 days ago. The beauty as we left Swakopmund is almost indescribable, as large dunes lay against the sea. We continued south traveling on dirt roads through the Gaub Pass. This desert is rather well known due to a German author Henno Martin who with his dog and best friend lived several years virtually unknown to the communities and villages that surround this area. These men, escaping the atrocities of WWII, lived by eating game meat, and sleeping in caves. -A book well worth a read: The Sheltering Desert. After several hours of dirt road driving, we made it to the Sossusvlei National Park, grabbing the last campsite available. Sossusvlei lies against the Namib Desert, ... read more

We finally made it! From DC to the REAL Washington! We left Montana this morning and drove 11 hours. And then got to uhaul, were told we had to turn in the trailer immediately (since itwas illegally attached to an explorer), unloaded all of our stuff into a storage unit in 30 minutes and then headed to sarahs house. So now we're at a bar. Obviously. Hanging out with sarahs cousins. Obviously. We'll be uploading pics to facebook soon. Too lazy to go upstairs to get my computer earlier at sarahs house earlier. We miss you all so much!! Comment on our blog or call us or text us. We need the confirmation of your love for us. ... read more

WE are home for a couple of weeks. Over 10,000 miles since June 11th. We left last Friday afternoon for a weekend run from Olympia to Arcata, CA for do a little collecting of our Rose City Stamps. Did California move .... we weren't there for the recent earth quake but were in the middle of a forest fire. We traveled to Waldport as our first check point did a little side road off I-5 from Albany, oh but wait we did a little jaunt around Albany as they were burning fields and we didn't want to get in the smoke. Found that to be an impossible idea as everywhere we went the fields were burning. We headed to Waldport on the coast on a little road thru the mountains (34) very pretty but lots of ... read more

We finally made it home on Friday night. Our last stop on the trip was Yellowstone. There was a lot of see there but there was also a lot of people. After a day at Yellowstone, it was agreed by all; it was time to go home. We left Cody, WY on Friday morning around 9 am and intended to get to the ID border and spend the night. However, we changed our minds and made the near 1000 mile trip by midnight. Our entire trip lasted 21 days and we all had a GREAT time. It is amazing how different the geography can be throughout the western US. We drove over 7500 miles and spent some very long days on the road. However, we visited some very interesting places and will be something we will ... read more
