Interior, South Dakota |
Our once-in-a-lifetime cross-country road trip began on
April 14, 2007 and lasted through August 28, 2007. Posted on the web pages are our
writings and pictures of the sites, people, and events we encountered along the way.
Thanks to everyone (including those wonderful strangers-turned-friends we met along
the way) for your support, encouragement, and enthusiasm. We look forward to our
next once-in-a-lifetime trip. Until then...

Crater Lake, Oregon |
After an over
two-week hiatus from updating the website, we've finally been able to do so today from
Seattle, Washington. We've seen so many great places since the last update, like
giant redwood trees and gigantic lakes in crater bowls, as well as dark, dank caves and
tall, snowcapped mountains. We haven't always had time to update our website or had
an internet connection to do so, but we're still going strong on our trip as we now begin
our quest from the west back to the east.

Grand Canyon, North Rim
Arizona |
After finishing our week long "service" with the Lutherans and Navajos
in New Mexico, we landed ourselves at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, the perfect place
to celebrate our engagement! We had no phone service, no internet connection, and no
showers, but everything we needed nonetheless. Heading north to some of Utah's
natural wonders, we'll then continue westward. Happy Fourth of July!

Taos
Pueblo,
Taos, NM |
Now heading southwest on our journey through southern Colorado and New Mexico,
eventually heading to Arizona and Utah, we continue zig-zagging our way through this
beautiful country. And still loving every minute of it (except when we're camping
and it's raining and it's windy and it's chilly - but even then, we still kinda love it!).

Hi
everyone. We expect to be leaving on our trip on Monday, April 16th. So if
you're bored or curious or just plain interested in what we're doing, where we're going,
and who we're meeting, come back and check us out later.
