OK Sports Fans........guess I'll make another attempt at maintaining a Blog. Sometimes it gets to be a real pain in the ass to maintain; but, I'll give it another try.
Becky and I are trying to get out of sunny, hot, sticky Northern California and head for the Pacific Northwest for a couple of months. After a cooling down period we'll head back to the midwest (naturally in the hottest part of the summer.....we're suckers for punishment) and ultimately stop in Branson, Missouri where we'll visit Becky's sister. How long we stay there will depend on how well Susie concocts biscuits and gravy!!!
We'll head out of Corntown about the 12th, over to the coast and travel North on 101. Should arrive in Vancouver, WA on June 28th. We'll be stopping at several Oregon State Parks, Indian casinos, and sand dunes south of Tillamook, OR and will continue our quest for the best clam chowder, fish 'n chips and dungeness crab on the Oregon coast! Of course we'll also be Geocaching where ever we stop. We'll be near Vancouver for about 10 days, then a group of us will head for the Oregon Sand Dunes at Coos Bay, OR for about 5 days. Back to Vancouver for 10 days and then toward Whidbey Island, WA for another 10 days. Northwest portion of our trip will wrap up in Vancouver about August 12. My youngest grandaughter, Cassidy, will be presenting a calf at the 10 day Clark County Fair. A new experience for her so don't wanna miss out on that.
About August 13 we'll start our trek to the Midwest via Jackson Hole, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone NP, Devil's Tower, Mt. Rushmore, and take in other sights around Rapid City, through the Bad Lands and eventually to Glenwood, IA where my brother resides. Should get to Branson around September 4. Will probably get back to Corntown in time to get ready to go to Arizona for the winter.
OK, by now the title of this new Blog should make sense to all.
With a little bit of luck we might get out of here on Friday.........I say this because the controller for the slide on the M/H went belly up and we're waiting for a part to arrive. It's certainly no fun using a hand crank to retract the living room slide............we had to do this last Sunday...so here we sit and wait.
Guess I'll post this and see how it looks. Will try to post pictures of our travels whenever time permits and I have a clear view to the Southeast for satellite reception.
Later, W&B

Hey ! I really like your route through the MidWest.
I would suggest that you also stop at the Crazy Horse Monument.
We did a couple of years ago and felt that it was better then Mount Rushmore.
