Countdown to Day 1

In 9 short hours, possibly the most difficult piece of our adventure, will be upon us. That is when Jesse and I will attempt to awaken three sleeping teenagers, who likely will have been asleep for a few short hours, and stuff them into our minivan to begin our trek to Wyoming. If all goes well, we will be in Chicago tomorrow, Badlands, SD by Thursday, and Yellowstone, WY by Friday. After a few days there, we will head to the Grand Tetons. The tents, hiking equipment, sleeping bags, and propane stove are stowed away in our oversized Thule. Good thing we have it, because there is no excess of space with the clothes, books, provisions, and our continually growing kids. Our adventure begins at 4:40 AM. We're sure to encounter some unexpected things along the way! More from Chicago tomorrow...

  6. still not clear how to respond to blog. you certainly have done a lot of traveling so far( about 1800 miles?) How much further to go? Are you camping out or using motels?
    Incidentaly, there are times shares that have to be used up for2011 and while on your travels
    perhaps you can take the time to look around for another trip. (Wish I had the confidence to know that you receive comments.) Just do not understand nuts and bolts of this technology.
