Welcome to our blog. Dan & I are hoping to use this method to keep in touch with family and friends while we're away this winter. You'll have to bear with us through the learning process - neither of us have ever done this before. If it works the way we hope it will, we'll keep you updated with our where-abouts and share pictures. We're hoping that you'll use it to keep in contact with us too. The most recent entry will always be at the top of the page, so if you're new here, scroll down to the bottom to start or use the archive list. Our apologies to anyone who found the Travelpod blog only to have it disappear on them, but this site seems easier to use and like I said - we're beginners, so the easier the better.

P.S.

Aha! You're one of those people who don't leave the theatre until the last credit has rolled aren't you?

We arrived home safe and sound on Saturday afternoon. The drive home was long and boring, but the roads were bare and dry all the way. We pulled into Butte, Montana on Friday afternoon and because the weather was good and it was still pretty early, we decided to carry on to Great Falls. How were we to know that there were state final wrestling and basketball tournaments going on? There wasn't a hotel room to be had in the whole city! We ended up continuing on to Conrad. Where? Yeah, I'd never heard of it either, even though we must've passed by it a dozen or more times over the years. We'll probably continue to drive right by in the future too. Oh well, at least it had a dog-friendly motel.

So, the epic adventure ends with 7,638 miles (12,220.8 kms) added to the odometer in 89 days. We've enjoyed it, but coming home is always the best part of any journey.
