      YAY!  It's going to be great!  I love the "coffee" mugs...are they available for purchase?  I bet you could probably get some new steps with the proceeds   Best of luck to you Lickety!!  Thanks for the smiles.

      Sounds like a fun trip!  Your route won't take you within 500 miles of us, but we'll be thinking of you.

      Thanks for your updates! I could almost think of a road trip to Nebraska to meet up, but then reality says it’s just too far from Colorado for me/us.  

      Here’s to safe travels and all the fun you can possibly have.

      I am Zetta! Aren't you in Eastern Oregon? I may be confused on that. I'll be coming up the coast - 101 from California - and heading back to Portland from probably Netarts - is that anywhere close to you?

      Wyoming! That's an excellent idea! As we go up and down our $60, kinda wobbly Rubbermaid steps, if we ever take another trip in The Gloria I am def gonna have to get the real ones fix first!

      Thank you, Stuck & Mommy! On day 2 so far so good. I've met a couple of rando caregivers at a gas station and a rest stop and that was super cool to get to talk to them. And The Gloria is doing great! That has been my biggest stressor so far, that I'll get a hapless film crew at in the wilds and Gloria will just refuse to budge one foot further - much like her namesake.

      I hope you are all having good caregiver days, and if they ain't good, I hope they aren't too awful.

      Lickety

      I live close to Bend, Oregon so I am only a few hours from Portland. Have fun and be safe. I hope your having good weather. I would love to see your route just to see how close you will be getting. Hugs Zetta
