We Made it Home

We arrived home last night at 9:00 pm. What a trip!!! Even though we were not ready for the trip to be over, it was nice to pull in the driveway. Our house sitters had the place sparkling, and Gus was spoiled so much when we were gone that I think he is actually depressed that Jim and Marsha are gone. Keep checking back over the next couple days as we will put up some more pictures and even some product endorsements. Here is our trip by the numbers:

.5- miles traveled before our first disaggreement over directions (still in our subdivision)

5009- total miles traveled on the trip

10- things ruined or lost on the trip including bike rack, trailer window (forgot to put it down), trailer air conditioner (forgot to take the cover off), shifter on AJ's new bike (I accidentally broke it off), AJ's lucky cowgirl hat (lost it at Slough Creek), AJ's sunglasses (broken), spare tire rack, trailer bumper, cam shaft sensor, blown fuse (4 times)

60+- miles hiked on the trip (wait until you here about our Slough Creek hike and how I had to hike the mountain twice!!!!)

5- different campgrounds

4-different Wal-marts where we slept for a few hours during our travels (by the way there are some freaks that hang out in Wal-Mart parking lots in the middle of the night)

6- fishing licenses purchased (4 for Nick and 2 for Andrea)

0- hours of TV watched during the trip

500+- number of pictures taken. You could take 5 million pictures and it still wouldn't do the American West justice. You have to see it for yourself.

5- meals consisting of SPAM, Ramen noodles, or Corned Beef Hash. One mega-meal featured all three. That'll put hair on your chest!!!

I'm glad that you made it home safely. We really enjoyed reading about your adventures (and mis-adventures). Sounds as though you both had a great time.
