The Road Home

Posted on Jul 19, 2005 - 7:15am by Wayne in Alaska

The Alcan back to the lower 48 was as rough as we remembered. We saw even more wildlife on the way home. We’re in Salt Lake City now on our way to Fort Defiance, AZ. Cindy is abandoning ship and catching a plane to Vegas to visit her granddaughters. I will upload the rest of the pictures in the next day or so.

Too Long Gone

I'm still alive. I did make it home for a week and am now back on the road. Six weeks is too long to be away from home. I start getting tired. Not sleepy tired, more like - sick and tired. Everything and everyone start pissing me off for no

Still in Maryland
