Maine to Montana.....via Oklahoma?!?

Our adventure has finally begun.  I am writing this on my iPad while Mike drives on a bumpy highway in Ohio - that's my excuse for any typos.  We pulled out from the cabin yesterday morning and finally stopped driving at midnight. We crawled into the Open Range bed, toasted the day with a little wine and the comfortable memory foam bed quickly put us to sleep.  Today we will drive another 15 hours to our destination of Oklahoma City.  What?  Well, at the core of this lifestyle we have chosen is the freedom to go and do what we want to do.  And Mike's son is competing in a rowing regatta in OKC.  Colt is the captain of the Kansas State Mens Crew this year so we are off to cheer them on and visit with him.  On Sunday we will head north to Kansas to hunt prairie chickens for a couple of days and then continue on to Montana.  The delay in getting to MT is good with us since the heat has persisted there, making bird hunting hot and tough on dogs and hunters alike.  But the forecast shows a significant drop in daytime temps beginning Wednesday.....just in time for our arrival.   Oh yeah.  :-)

I will be adding photos once I figure out how to do so with this iPad.  I was disappointed once again in the iPad when I discovered that it cannot be connected to my Passport hard drive which holds my photos.  ahhh, love technology.

  1. Cool! You guys need to learn Rowingspeak...remember: Et vous pret...PARTEZ!!

    Fall head race?? The most painful 6-8 minutes of your life, barring maybe childbirth. Good teammates dont let you drown after you pass out!

    Glad to hear you guys are en voyage, keep up the updates. As of tomorrow morning I no longer have to live vicariously through you,m at least on weekends...but frequent updates are appreciated. :)

    HAVE FUN!!
