10:14 AM Monday May 16, 2005

All systems are nearly go and as of this minute, it appears tomorrow is THE day! Les and Gloria's motorhome is at the garage for some last minute tweaking (they think it's the alternator) and Phil is reloading the back of our Ranger. His new outboard motor is padlocked to the bed of the truck and his new 12' aluminum boat is padlocked to the Kargo Master on top of the truck. He's considering a padlock for the canopy door but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that without defacing the truck. I guess we can take as many precautions against thievery as possible and hope for the best beyond that. Our friends, Ardella and Don have been held up in Arizona but assure us they will catch up ... probably somewhere in Montana. Since we'll be moving very slowly it should be fairly easy for them to find us.

We feel much loved and our hearts are filled with joy from all the family gatherings and visits as we count down to this departure date for our next trip. As excited as we are about leaving, we can't help but think about how much we will miss everyone but we will stay in touch via cell phone and e-mail. Also, our family and friends can ride along and share our adventures via this website, "Backroad Chronicles", which is the primary reason for creating and maintaining the blog.

I'll do my best to write at least a couple times a week, more if I have time. Here we go ..........
