OMG! - I don't know how you have the strength to do all you do Cindy -they'd have to bring me home on a guerney -- I aM so happy that you are ha*ing a good tiMe and are able to do it -- More thanI would be able to do - that's for sure -- You are so KOOL --- Keep on tru*king honey

I heard Cindy had quite the time playing with the banana slugs and lost track of the time. That's all I have to say on the subject! Put down the duct tape. You don't need it. My mouth is shut. I am not saying anything. Back away....look over there....a bag of Fritos.

Oh yeah....stay out of my Olympics...their mine I tell ya, all mine!

LOL, Sal, I don't really do that much! I just look at stuff, honest. I wish I could do all the things my mind imagines me doing, but it would be years before I got home.

Well, Tappy and I had a great meeting, and she brought me a lifetime supply of Fritos! No kidding, I'm set for life! It was so much fun to finally meet her, we've had the message boards for a long time, and now we'll always have Starbuck's and Applebees. She generously treated me to a night on the town (in the Centralia, WA style) and it was so nice of her.

She's almost as scary in person, but more together than she pretends to be online. She kept me laughing, and we talked about all kinds of things. It was a great experience, Tatty, thank you!

So, today, I feel like taking a ride. I'm dangerously close to the Pendleton store and woke this morning to the sounds of it whispering in my ear. Ruh roh.

Had a good couple days of rest here and I'm ready to put some more miles behind me. I hate to leave these parts, it has been a whirlwind of wonders. Beeeeeeautiful.

The Olympics ain't yers *duct taping Tappy to a tree*, but feel free to bond with nature a little more! bwah hah hah haahaaaaaaa!!!!!

Thanks Cindy for reporting in and for all the great photos you've shared I saw the photos you posted at MSW - WOW!! Keep us posted on anything new OK? --

Oh yeah.....you got slug poo on your new plaid pants Nappy! (sticking out tongue)

Did not!



Turd breath.

Cindy has deserted us again You kould put a few photos here too Ya know

Oh, brother, Sal! The days have been overwhelming lately! A lot of driving and unexpected changes of plan. Double duty on pics is more than I can handle, I didn't think about that when I started this trip.

FYI all, I am posting more details on another message board, if you'd like the link, feel free to PM me.

I've come a long way through the PacNW, redwoods, a stretch of the original Pony Express route, the Great Salt Desert of UT, and am now in Moab where I'll visit Canyonlands NP and Arches NP. tomorrow it's on to CO and a visit to Dinasaur, CO national monument.

I'm slowing down quite a bit and having a little trouble retaining the information I've gathered along the way. Thank goodness for the publications provided by the different locations, I will read and reread them forever.

Here are some cool things I've seen:

Ooooooooooooo!! I love love love those photos--The last one looks like Ohio in the Fall- LOL! Thanks Cindy - I'll bet you are about warn out! -- I is warn out Copying and pasting letters ---

She's got a knack for the camera eye! Great pictures Cindy!

I am so glad you've had the opportunity to take this once in a lifetime trip!
