the first leg

John Day, United States

our purty tree & our handmade willow fence at our old home

8:30 am, october 9, 2007. after 4 years, 2 months, and 19 days, we left John Day, oregon.

6:00 pm, october 9, 2007. we found out our headlights don't work in Burley, idaho. it's raining. we spent the night in the parking lot of the dollar tree. hoorah for the first day!!!

it doesn't even feel strange that we will be living in the motorhome for 4 years. so far, so good. well, except for that headlight thing. and the taillights. and the turn signals...

the first leg

had a super quick but laugh-a-minute visit with cousins cassie & ken in Kamas, utah. we left their home only to break down on the side of a mountain on highway 20 in rural southern utah. after smoke billowed from our dash (strike two), we were towed to ruby's inn, at the entrance of bryce canyon natl park. we would have taken photos, but we were too preoccupied with getting back on the road. i highly recommend visiting...only under better circumstances. by the way, you should always, always, always buy tow insurance. it's cheap, and you never know when you might break down hours from the nearest tow shop.
