Day 9: Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Albany, NY to Mactaquac, NB

We had a great sleep last night and I woke up at 6:45 so I could shower before we left at 8:00. We had an 11 hour drive today so we wanted to get started early. We hit some more toll roads to make the journey faster and switched drivers a couple of times so the other could nap. We crossed ( Read more... )

 Day 8: Monday, August 4, 2008
New Albany, OH to Albany, NY

We woke up this morning at 6:30 because Mario had said everyone was going to leaving early. Well, things were a little behind schedule so I was able to shower and pack up before having to say goodbye to them all. We left a few things behind at their place that we didn't want to have to take ( Read more... )

Day 7: Sunday, August 3, 2008
New Albany, Ohio

I had a crazy dream last night where I was at a wedding and then people started shooting each other. I woke up and realized that Daryl's snoring sounded exactly like gunfire! I was going to run again this morning but I was too sore and tired after yesterday. Plus, it's Sunday - the day of rest. We got up ( Read more... )

Saturday, August 2, 2008
New Albany, Ohio

After spending the last week sitting in a car and feeling my rear end expand, I decided it was time to start running again. I got up at 7:30 and headed off for a 3.5 mile jog around the golf course which is nearby. It took me just under 45 minutes and I felt great. It got pretty warm and I guess my body isn't ( Read more... )

Day 5: Friday, August 1, 2008
LeRoy, IL to New Albany, OH

It was a hot and sticky night and neither of us slept that well. The cicadas and other insects were super loud until about 4 am so after that we slept a little better. We woke up at about 8:30 and as we were packing up the car and transporting all of our stuff from the site to the parking lot ( Read more... )

Day 4: Thursday, July 31, 2008
Minneapolis, MN to LeRoy, IL

We slept so much better last night - so much that we ended up sleeping in until 8:30! I had a quick shower and Daryl discovered it was raining and there was a huge thunder and lightning storm outside! I kept thinking I saw flashes of lightning and then I realized it was just some person ( Read more... )

Day 3: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Dickinson, ND to Bloomington, MN

Well, we had a rotten sleep last night because it was so freaking hot in the room! Daryl had turned the fan to cool air and forgot to turn it back to the air-conditioning until 4am. Needless to say, neither of us slept well. I got up at 6:45 to shower because I knew that Daryl wanted to ( Read more... )

Day 2: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Missoula, MT to Dickinson, ND

We had a great night's sleep last night and it wasn't even too cold, considering we were in the mountains. I woke up at 7:30 and was surprised to see that the people who had been in the site next to us were gone. I guess they had just come for the evening and a campfire. The mosquitos were ( Read more... )

Day 1: Monday, July 28, 2008
Fort Langley, BC to Missoula, MT (well actually Clinton, MT - Beavertail State Park)

I woke up at 6:30 this morning to shower and pack all the toiletries and rest of the stuff that I had forgotten to pack last night. After making sure everything was ready to go (and cutting up veggies for snacks), Daryl and I headed into ( Read more... )

I will have to add pictures to the coming entries later on as the internet connection I have right now is quite sporatic. Stay tuned and check back again soon!
