8-26 through 9-11-2010 We haven't posted for a couple weeks...guess we were having too much fun. Here is a summary of some of the things we have been doing ( Read more... )

8-18-2010 Our last night at Steve and Emily's was a quieter one, or else we were just getting used to city noises. It was nice of them to let us stay at their apartment and enjoy the city life while they were gone. After we got all our stuff packed up, we took the BART and the bus back to Pacifica. It was sunny and warm, 72 degrees, so we got ( Read more... )

8/11/2010 We woke up to the sound of the surf and a comfortable breeze off the ocean. During the day we relaxed, went for a bike ride and walk, and caught up on emails, logs, and post cards. In the afternoon we took the bus and BART into San Francisco to see the kids. All of us walked to the Contigo restaurant in Noe Valley for dinner to ( Read more... )

8/5/2010 Bonnie checked the park bathrooms to see if the frogs were still there (they were) and then we headed down the road again on US-395 south. The scenery soon changed and we were passing through green forests. We crossed into California at 10am. Shortly thereafter we passed through a California inspection station where they asked us ( Read more... )

7/31/2010 It cooled off in the night and we slept well. We were on the road by 8:30 heading west again on Hwy-200. At Stanford MT we stopped at a farmer's market and bought some veggies, bread, and some of the best cinnamon rolls either of us have ever tasted from the Amish booth. They were coated with real caramel. (The caramelized brown sugar ( Read more... )

7/30/2010 We had rain wind and thunder off and on during the night. It was 64 degrees when we got up but the weatherman said it was going to be in the 90s again. We left the Theodore Roosevelt N.P. at 10am and headed west into Montana on Hwy-200. At Sidney MT we stopped at McDonalds to upload pictures and grab a quick lunch before continuing ( Read more... )

7/28/2010 We left the casino at 9am and took Hwy-200 west into North Dakota. It was cool, dry, and sunny. In North Dakota Hwy-200 is a two lane road of rolling hills that passes by vast fields of wheat, corn, soy beans and hay. There were several small lakes and ponds along the road. We saw several crop dusters at work in the fields. We ( Read more... )

7/27/2010 Today we drove through Duluth MN on US-2 in a light rain. The roads in this city were a mess. They were working on most of the bridges. The US-2 bridge was closed so they routed us across the I-35 bridge. I-35 was down to one lane as they were working on that too. We were glad when we finally snaked our way through town and headed ( Read more... )
