After our first year and a half...

Since July of 2008, we have pulled our RV more than 10,000 miles across America and are about to head out of Idaho for another 6,000-plus miles to Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and possibly as far north as Connecticut and Michigan, then across the Dakotas, Wyoming, etc., on our way back to Idaho by August 1, 2010. It's been an exhilirating experience, filled with the wonder of the American landscape and the friendship and encouragement of genuinely wonderful people we have met (and made friends with) along the way.
