Talking Gone by 06:00

By 06:00 Monday, I'll be on the road. Other than fuel and potty stops, we won't rest 'til we get to Cranbrook BC. Quick overnight and then across the line and off to the coast!!!
I'll check in every now and then and try to send pics.

Have a good trip! Like Morris asked, just wondering which way you are going. I used to truck that area for many years >> through Cranbrook - Bonners Ferry, ID - Spokane - Portland or Seattle!! Spent lots of time in Washington and southern BC

Thanks guys. Borrowed Dad's Buick. Still fits 6 and gets a 'bit' better fuel mileage. Diesed's actually higher out here. 13 hours on the road yesterday and 9 today. We'll slacken the pace starting tomorrow. The kids are doing well so far. On we go!!!!! I'll keep you updated.

71 cents is pretty good. Well, we're in Redding CA now. Diesel's $2.50ish here. Supposed to be 106F this afternoon!!!!!! Not used to this. We're going swimming today, so that should help. We saw mt St Helens the other day and stayed at a small park called Silver Falls state park for a couple nights. If you're ever near Salem OR, take the extra few miles and stay there a night or 2. Just Beautiful. Anyway, gotta go. I'll check in later....
