Quartzsite , Arizona

  It looks like we didn’t have to rush across country because our motorhome build is progressing very slowly. We finally hit beautiful weather so we’ve decided to hang around in Arizona for awhile. Here are the latest pictures of the motorhome. It doesn’t look very different but the frame is now completely assembled and the cab area has been cut out.

Roswell , New Mexico

   What happened in Roswell? Did a UFO crash or was it a weather balloon? It will probably always be a mystery. Most likely it was some sort of top secret government experiment that went wrong. Still it’s fun to speculate about other possibilities!

Memphis , Tennessee

  We haven’t made it very far! There aren’t a lot of cities with good shopping areas in the rural south so we had to stop for awhile in Memphis to buy Christmas presents. Hope they make it to y’all in time! We also visited a few of the many museums.

On Our Way West

  Thank you to everyone in Pittsburgh , Ohio and D.C. for all of the invitations , good food and company! We had such a good time that we forgot to take any pictures. We’re going to miss all of you over the Christmas holidays but I think that we have a solution!

   We’ll just take everyone with us! 

New Motorhome – We’re doing it!

    This isn’t the way that it’s normally done but we’re getting the truck that we want and also a much better constructed motorhome. It’s a little complicated though because we have to make decisions  on everything. Some of it’s simple – not much choice because there are only so many kinds of some of the specialized motorhome fixtures. Other things are wide opened. All ideas and suggestions are very welcome!

US 20 Through Nebraska

  There isn’t much to see or do in northern Nebraska. It was settled late in our history and never supported a large population. Originally the land was part of the buffalo hunting area of the Lakota Indians-the tribe that Kevin Costner befriended in the movie "Dances With Wolves" Homesteaders tried farming ,only to fail when the rain didn’t come. People moved away,towns shrunk and now cattle have taken the place of the buffalo.

Yellowstone National Park , Wyoming

  
 We decided to visit the southern part of Yellowstone on our way east. The park is beautiful any time of the year but we didn’t realize that most of the tourist facilities were already closed. The park was almost empty and we really enjoyed the wide opened views. But then we heard a weather forecast – 6 to 12 inches of snow! Time to go!
