How about "Criss-Crossing the Nation in One Last Gasp to See it All Before Both Major Political Parties Ruin it!" See why I was holding back?

This is amazing. Good for you guys. Can't wait to hear about it.

That's a good answer, but the common link between Dolly and the Nebraska sand hills I was going for is "things that are not flat".

Or departure time went from a target of 3pm to 6pm to 8pm to "to heck with it- we'll leave when we leave". A horrible dinner in the truck McD's after 9pm and we were finally off just before 10pm.

Here's one last picture of our house.

Our TPMS provided me with a ton of comfort. One of my trailer tires was down to 60psi from 80psi. The tire pressure monitor let me know that it stayed safe for the drive. I'll keep an eye on it, as that's really weird. Just goes to show- CHECK YOUR TIRES BEFORE EVERY DAY!

We were going to stay at Kosmos Village RV Park, but my cousin invited us to stay with her. Little did she know that our plan was to park on the street and sleep in the camper; so that's what we did.

This morning, we had a big breakfast with my cousin, her hubby, her brothers, an my aunt and uncle. It made for a very late morning, but was wonderful anyway!

And now, just shy of noon- we are off!

Our accommodations for the night:

The only trick is its a dead end with a cul de sac at the end. The cul de sac wasn't quite big enough, but we used a driveway and got out OK.

Random others...

My doors like to pull my hair without kissing me first:

I checked my air pin box using my camera vs. getting down low.

And, it looks like little feet were in my truck yesterday.

Speaking of yesterday, here's a shot of how I carry bikes (similar to before, but the hitch receiver had to be rebuilt when I got the air pin).

More from yesterday, my little helper:

Unfortunately he didn't save me from my hose. I was 2-for-2 for disconnecting the hose and not accounting for the water pressure for a while.

Still dancing with excitement over here for you guys!  Wish we were on the road with y'all!

 

Oh... and I know you mentioned that you probably would not post on the blog every day (which I completely get... lots to do in a day!), but try and post once or twice a week (have Mandie post too!) simply because it will be a great way for you guys to record the memories of your year :)

You longer have any rebuttal when the DW says your all wet and she has pictures to prove it.

She still thinks I'm the "Brains" of the family, apparently!
