This is when we ended the day on the road (although the sun was actually set when we stopped):
And there was a lot of this in between:
Michael says he can "smell Georgia" now that he's within less than 2000 miles so he felt like we needed to make a major push toward home today. We drove 585 miles from Colorado Springs to meet up with my nice Kansas farmer to get my wheat and he gave us a tour around his home (a dome) and showed us how he cleans wheat.
Then we were back on the road again for almost 400 more miles!!! We are all pretty tired since some of us were awake almost an hour before the 4:15 a.m. alarm! We are 8 miles from our overnight destination-- the Flying J Truck stop in Warrenton, Missouri-- aren't you jealous??! Michael has wanted to 'boondock' (for those of you not familiar with RV-lingo, that means to spend the night for free somewhere-- think Wal-mart/Cracker Barrel/or Flying J truckstop!)We will have about 650 miles to drive tomorrow so I'm sure we'll be on the road early, but hopefully not at 4:30 a.m.

"Sunrise... sunset... more beautiful pictures! And I'll be eager to hear about your "boondock" experience at the Flying J! Melissa called this am (Chloe has been up since 4:30!) and it sounds like you may be back in your own beds tonight - I'm sure you're ready for that! Dad & I are praying for your continued protection. Mark will be here as well as Gaga & Tata for dinner around 4 today. Happy Father's Day, Michael and Ralph!
Love and Prayers to all,
Mom & Dad aka Anna & Pacca aka Carol & Terry!
Wendy, Your trip sounds amazing... I just sat down to read about it today. Things are finally settling down a little at our house. I'm inspired to travel out west for sure. What an experience for the girls!!! Glad you'll be home soon and you guys have had such a memorable time. Angie
Welcome home!!! I read this post this morning, but I guess I didn't put 2 and 2 together to figure out that 650 miles today would put you at HOME. Glad you made it safe and sound. Talk to you tomorrow.
