Hi Steve, Your road trip sounds challenging and fun. I can't imagine coping with trucks and narrow roads nor desert heat. Lou and I just got back from the last of our summer vacations. We had 1 week in Branson, MO; home for 1 week, in which I took a grad course on teaching the gifted; then 1 week in virginia Beach and 1 week at Massanutten in the Shenandoah Mts. We will check on your blog as we can. I called Anne, but have not heard back from her yet. Have a blast! Stay safe! Joyce
