What is this?

This is a blog of our great road trip out west. We started in Siloam Springs , AR May 11th, 2007 and ended back again on June 23rd. You can learn more about us, learn more about our route, or start at the beginning of our trip and move forward.

We're Alive!

So we've finally reached the internets and cell phone service again after being in the desert for at least two full days. That's a long time for techies! Anyway, we're in Modesto, CA trying to stay in one place for more than a day. We're staying with friends and getting ready to go to George Lucas film festival (he's actually from here, sooo exciting).
A brief overview since our last real update. After leaving Kansas we spent a few days in Denver with Jake's wonderful family, then we hit Colorado Springs (once again a lovely visit), then we set out for Utah and ended up spending the night in a beautiful valley (near Moab I think), onward to Arches National Park, then the North rim of the Grand Canyon, then Zion National Park, then Las Vegas, into an all nighter at Denny's which led us to the Hoover Dam at sunrise, then Death Valley, and finally stopping for the night in Yosemite. That's probably the worst run on sentence, but I'm just laying the ground work for sequal posts. What the world needs more of is sequal as Jake would say.
So all of this to say we have a lot to post about. We've got some great pictures (point and shoot, nothing too National Geo) and I've got some videos I'll post up sometime soon.
Prepare thyselfs for the back log posting to begin.

Looks like guys are having an amazing trip. I haven't been to all those places. They sound amazing. The best part is you are seeing all this together - you will be talking about this trip for years. Sounds like the U.S. is a wonderful place with so many great people! Glad you had this chance. Love you guys, From the old home place.
