Marie,

Welcome to our home (on the web). Thanks for stopping in.

I am really enjoying Washington. I absolutely love the evergreen forests and the snow capped mountains. While we have spent a while on the Olympic Peninsula, we haven’t seen the ocean yet. I am looking forward to seeing it. I enjoy rain most of the time. Unless it’s cold. And well, you know about the rain here in April/May. Brrr…

We are really glad that we didn’t get anything larger than what a truck camper. We kinda of regret getting such a big one. I think if we switch rigs, we will either build our own out of a bread truck (they have 4×4 ones in Alaska) or large van or get a smaller truck camper. We are glad that you are enjoying the site and hope it helps you with you decision. Happy trails!

I wasn’t gonna forget to call my momma on Mother’s Day . Even if we did have to risk life and limb fording a deep mud pit that was surrounded by massive boulders which by maneuvering around them left us teetering on the edge of a cliff 100’s of feet high in the middle of a river gorge. OK, it wasn’t that bad. But, if it was, I would have done it just the same if that’s what it took to call my momma.

That is good news on mothers day!

It’s always good to know loved ones are safe and sound.

Stay warm, stay dry … after 20 plus years in one of the great rain capitals of the world, western Washington, we sold everything and moved in an RV, nesting out of Tucson. Once the heat drives us out we will head north to play in the summer rain.

We are considering a truck camper for wandering … (we will leave our 5th wheel here and car camp or???) Your site is the perfect brain/heart food for our hearts.

Best wishes!

Yes… we are alive. Just spent quite a while up near Mt. Rainier where there was no telephone or internet access. We got rained on heavy for about four days and decided to wait for the roads to dry out a bit before coming through one nasty spot.

Got to catch up on email, but didn’t want anyone else worrying more than necessary.

This message is for Patrick…..or Jenn and Johnny or anyone who has had recent contact with them.

I am Jennifer’s mother, I have not heard from either of them since April 28, when I don’t hear from them I get worried, they usually call or email often. I have emailed and called and left messages on their cell phone, I have not received a reply. Just wondering if you knew exactly where in Washington they were heading or have any information. We are supposed to meet them in Alaska next month, so just beginning to worry…..
Thanks, Patti Abel

j0w!

Hey… so uhhh… Jeremy forced me to reactivate my account.
Oh… and Morg did too.
I’m like completely being forced to play City of against my will.

<..>

Are you guys still in Washington?
We went and saw the Star Trek movie yesterday.
Should have invited you folks.
I would have protected you from the urban dwelling lamesters.
At any rate, we have been thinking of you guys and hoping all is well.
Siobhan misses Johnny terribly.
Actually she is pounding on me for writing that… she has borne the brunt of many a tease in regards to her and Johnny.

Truth be told we all miss you both.

Cheers!
Patrick

I have to agree on the lack of energy Monday morning. When we left, we were headed about two hours away. After thirty minutes, I pulled over and took a three hour nap in the Target parking lot. I was just completely exhausted.

Great post, Johnny!

What an amazing weekend.
On Monday I had zero, or maybe even negative 10, energy.

You definitely drew the majority of kid aggro and handled it all with amazing aplomb.

I hope we can hook up again before y’all head to the Great White North!
