Or perhaps I should call it the wild grey yonder, given the forest fires burning. Pretty scarey stuff. Kyle, is your brother okay? Personally, I think it's all a plot by the US government to end the soft wood lumber dispute. There just won't BE lumber left. (I'm not paranoid, but that doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.:p ) I think the situation is okay where we are headed, but getting there might be interesting. You never know which highway might be closed.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for helping to get Belinda ready for the trip. She's as ready as she is ever going to be. But I have a list of tow trucks along the way, jic! Just my luck we'll be rerouted through Washington though.:p Hey rickg, you available for tech support if that happens?? :p

I have been so focused on the process of getting ready for the trip, that I didn't really see the bigger picture until recently. It just dawned on me.... 10 days in a cabin with NO internet. Not only that, half of it spent in a cabin with my MOTHER. I've already got a twitch developing in one eye.

If I don't get admitted to a looney bin, I'll see ya in 10 days or so! Don't talk about me when I'm gone!
