    If we stay at a place with a wireless 'net connection, I'll put up a post tomorrow night letting you know where we finally stopped. Perhaps we can run down to Vegas together if things work out right.

    Really grumbling about not being able to make it over myself as originally planned.

    That probably would work best, but unfortunately Karen doesn't like to drive on the highway, especially someplace she's never been to before. On the plus side, I've been known to run 1000+ mile trips in one shot all by myself with no ill effects. I've had many years of practice.

    It really is too bad that you can't make it. Perhaps next time.

    Our proposed side trip next week to your part of the world is still up in the air. Our union is meeting with the city tomorrow to look at the latest proposal, but no-one is holding out any hope. As such, there's a very good chance that we'll be going on strike in May. If that is the case we won't be doing much in the way of side trips this time around. I dont' want to run up the credit cards if I don't have an income for awhile.

    Wow, a new record for me! 900+ miles in 13 hours.

    We made it to Ogden Utah, where we finally decided to stop for the night. Just going to head over for some food, then off to bed. For some reason I'm really tired right now.

    Be back online tomorrow once we reach LV.

    Hehehehehe! Well, I slept well for me. Got about 6 hours total. Much more than the night before the trip to Seattle last year, that's for sure.

    We drove through some incredible weather on the way down, too. It was nice in the valleys, but hit lots of snow in the various mountain ranges. Wheeee!

    Anywho...off to bed. I'll post again tomorrow.

    O'Neille is a no show. My Mom has been visiting and I was to take her to the airport this morning then jump on the next flight to Vegas. It's been so nice here that she decided to stay another week. So I'm not going to make it. Have fun everyone.
