Somewhere OTR

Today is our final prep day before departure on our renewal adventure. We begin with six days of camping in the spiritual heartland of native Americans, then point the van to all points east. I've attempted to describe Wall Drug and miles of message signs to my boys but I think they'll have to see it to believe it.

Yesterday I went with Phillip to IF track to run sprint intervals. The boy is fast! While out we enjoyed this magnificent rainbow over the east hills. I look at it as a beckoning gesture -- time to come out for adventure and see what is over the rainbow. We hope skies will be blue and dreams will come true. Eventually we will end up heading across Kansas. We'll keep an eye on the weather and avoid any twisters and wicked witches over the horizon. I'll make sure we pack a pair of ruby red slippers for the return trip! This is the trip of a lifetime for us; but when it's over I'm sure I'll be saying, "There's no place like home!"

I'll be updating my blog about once a week -- nothing for a few days as we'll be in the wilderness!
