Delays

Well the day has come for the departure.  We are still in town.  The truck needed some work and we were not able to get it done in time.  It is still in the shop.  Hopefully get it back tomorrow.  We are also going to sell Theresa's Rodeo.  So we may be down a week or so.  It has hit us a bit to have our first setback before we leave the gate, but all things happen for a reason.  At least that is what I believe. 
The last week has been spent feverishly finishing things around the trailer and with family.  Solar charger, power inverter, storage and little things that will make the trip hopefully more cost efficient.  Worked to finish up the landscaping at my parents house.  I think that it looks pretty good.  If I do say so myself. 
We got news that our short-term job in California is not going to happen just yet.  We wish them all the best.  Again, all things happen for a reason.  Theresa has been working online and the hours she is putting in would not work out with the job in California.  I guess you just have to have faith.  With that being said, we are looking at Yellowstone and Eastern Idaho for our first few weeks on the road.  The park is a good deal for a weeks pass, and I can get my family into some GREAT fly and spin fishing.  I have 4 bamboo fly rods, so one for each of us. 
I am waiting to get a picture on the blog until we get something of us on the road, so please be patient.

Recent milestones

Hit another mark on the timeline for the trip yesterday.  HD had her last softball game!  We are getting VERY close.  The kids finished school last week.  We picked up the weight distribution hitch this week and will get it installed in the next few days.  Tres is in the last week of full time work.  She will switch to part time work online next week.  We need to sell the Rodeo and we are OUT.
Things are lining up beautifully!  I still am amazed at how this trip has rolled together, the pieces keep falling into place.  A few more and we can shove off.  I guess I better get with the blog more frequently.
