Hi all! We finally managed to get internet access at a Flying J Truckstop. We are on the road...right now freezing in lower Wyoming on our way to Mt. Rushmore. Who knew that it could get so cold in September??? Not much sympathy for us Californians around here! Thanks Uncle Merrill for the warm sleeping bags. :-) We'll be watching the weather and adjusting our route as necessary. Looks like it's unusually warm on the East Coast right now - I hope it holds out a little longer! I'm going to check the weather and then get some rest. I will post a little more on our adventures so far in the morning.
