Today is Departure Day, I just wanted to add a note

Today is Departure Day, I just wanted to add a quick note thanking everyone for all their positive encouragement, e-mails, offers of a place to stay etc. If we make it to your area, we just may take you up on them. It is tons more work than one might imagine preparing to leave your home for months. Thankfully our friends Colin and Esme have agreed to stay in our home and take care of it and our cats. Special thanks to them! Speaking of friends, I would highly suggest that you take a moment to check out the links section,almost all of the links go to sites of friends and or their businesses. From writer Eddy Harris whose amazing journeys and insights have inspired and encouraged us to our friends Kerry & Bruce who are opening a fantastic new restaurant in Estes Park this week, all the links are personally selected with great care. We hope to add links to places we visit as we go. Check em out.

PS- the photo below was technically taken last month, but my friend Jody asked me to post it. Here is me & Gene Simmons at the Indy Car race in Homestead.
