Monkeys on the Grapevine?

Why Stop Here?

Well, things were going smooth until the Grapevine Grade. The transmission was getting pretty hot going up the grade, so we stopped at Fort Tejon to let things cool. How fun...our first break down! This Army base was home to the US Camel Corps. Interesting site AND we found a geocache there too.

Day 3, 2, 1...GO!

We have been so busy getting ready that we haven't had time to add more updates. Our plan was to get everything washed, packed, stowed, fueled, repaired and repacked so we could just jump in the car in the morning at 0600 hours and be on our way.

We left at 0815 hours, 2 hours late and…I forgot my camera! Yup, on a huge x-country vacation…no camera, except the cell phone.

Well, we are off! The kids are very excited and can’t wait for 5 days on the road. Florida here we come!
