    you just wanted the cookies Jeff.

    We started this morning and blew the turbo hose off twice. Been taking it easy so the pressure doesn't build too much. Everything was going okay until about 6pm. We stopped for a pit stop and came out and had a flat. Changed that and went on to about 7 miles from Tn. No spare so we are going to the tire shop in the AM. Then about 400 miles left. We should be there late in the afternoon. Oh yeah, to add to the problems we tried to use our credit cards in Ok. and they put a stop on them. Ruth had to call andargue with them for a while.

    See you tomorrow Jeff, Misty, and Paige:)

    Got started again at 7:00am, did not get quite as far as I wanted to but put 12 hours in driving and made it 775 miles today, had an issue with display screen saying trailer was disconnected. Checked everything out and everything works so I just motored on

    I am in a town in Nebraska called North Platte,about 177 miles in from Wyoming, I am actually a little farther than my original plan but not as far as I thought I would like to be which is in Somerset, gonna need to find a car wash first thing.

    Still have not seen another Mav or Comet

    Finally got my car all back together. Couple of little things to do on the car but I have to have a parking lot project.

    Got to change oil in my truck in the morning and load the car. Hopefully on the road by 9:30. Can't drop the dog off at camp until 8:30.

    The trailer I was going to borrow was a bust. My buddy told me it had brakes, but didn't mention they haven't been used in years and that they're not hooked up. Add to that the tires were kind of sketchy looking. I don't feel like spending close to $400 to rent a u-haul, so unless I find another option tomorrow I may scrub the trip entirely. I've had fun without my car in the past but I really don't want to run without it this year. I'll keep you guys posted on my status.
