Day#3
The beauty of the open road.
I am left reflecting on my younger days traveling around and the beauty that each mile brings. Traveling the country is one of my greatest joys.

Day# 2-- round 2
We ran into some rain today and had head north to so out of the bad stuff. After about a 100 miles north the sky parted and the rest of the day was sun shine. We made camp in northern Louisiana. Did some exploration around the local area.

Day #1-- round 2
Tonight we find ourselves in Mississippi. With the addition of the trailer we have so much more room in the jeeps. The girls are happy and so am I. I figured that if we can drive 200 miles a day with our new plan we should keep the schedule. Also we have a cloudless sky all day...
Started back at it we have developed a new plan. We will not be able to do the eastern part of the trail with the time lost. But if we go straight to Moab Utah we should be able to get the last half of the trip. So the trip is back on.

Day #3-- admission of defeat
We made a last stitch effort to get on the highway and try to get north of all the rain. 350 miles later we are still in rain so we pulled over and had a long talk. We decided to head back to the house and regroup and make a new plan. 11 hours of driving is in our...
Day #2-- Only can get better.

A little opportunity has presented itself.
Now instead of bringing the green jeep now it is the red jeep. So 3 months of preparation on the green one has to be transferred to the red one and we are leaving in 16 days. I guess I know what I am doing for the next couple of weeks.

Ok so I thought we needed a awning for when we are out in the desert sun. I looked at the premade ones from smittybuilt and would love to have one but the price is a bit more than i want to spend. And i wanted it to fold up. So folded it is about 5 foot along the side of the Jeep. When deployed...

Third things third -- Cooking and food storage.
The refrigerator we took from my Garage. No more beer in the garage [emoji24]. But it will be worth it. The Colman stove was loaned to me from my father-in-law. Thanks again Jerry. The totes are from walmart and if they had any cheaper ones I could...
