We have to pull up stakes at 0400 AM tomorrow in order to get Thomas to the airport. I will add captions to this tomorrow.
The road is a weary place. As a result, wake up times have been sliding later and later with every morning. Jonathan wakes up happy.
This was our first Walmart stop. We always park in a remote corner of the parking lot which makes for a long walk to the store in the morning. The rule is: If we park in their lot, we buy some of their stuff. Nobody parks for free. The danger is in getting boxed in by other cars that arrive early in the morning. That almost happened to us this time.
We brought our fancy water treatment machine along with us. Ponce de Leon was on the wrong track.
Nic and Mrs. H are playing around with a flat iron. The rest of us are amused, but uninterested in the participating in the experiment.
Anthony is actively interested in increasing his command of the English language. Cross word puzzles help him with the process.
Looking outside the vehicle, we find ourselves facing the great Rocky Mountains. Our hats are off to the early pioneers that traversed this region on foot. They were made of sturdy stock that would be hard to find in this day and age. Our heater is running full blast and our toes are warm.
Ben is working, everyone else is goofing off.
This is the entrance to the tunnel that will take us under the Continental divide. Goodbye Pacific, hello Atlantic.
Thomas is so emotional, at least when a camera is aimed at him.
Pop Quiz: Nic is not upside down and the photo is not upside down, so what is going on here?
We came across a brown sign that caught our interest and broke our forward progress. Who could ignore Buffalo Bill?
Bill's grave overlooks the city of Denver. Anybody got a quarter?
Bill and his wife are the only people buried here. The gift shop does a brisk business. They cook buffalo burgers.
The RV always needs one thing or another. Nic needed some sort of cable to get the TV hooked up to the DVD player. Nic loves Best Buy, and they love him. I'm glad he has a small budget.
After three days on the road, we pulled into an RV park for a much needed round of showers. Hooking the RV into electricity is something of a minor luxury. Watching a beautiful sunset is an added perk.A question for you: Ben is of the opinion that eight photos are just right, and more are too many. What are your thoughts?
be safe,
Hec on the road

I love the photos of all the snow covered mountains! Looking forward to seeing the captions to go with some of these photos!
Mrs. Reynolds :o)
Oh yes! Captions should be very interesting!
The more pictures, the better. Ben is rarely wrong, but I know he can take it like a man.

Tell Ben we love pictures. No suchathing as too many!
And there's a tunnel at the Divide? No more winding your way to the tippytop and getting out to look at the little creek that flows uphill toward the Pacific? Okay, it's been awhile, a very long while, since I've made that trek.
Good ole' Wal-Mart parking lots! Now, did y'all get doughnuts for breakfast? :)
Oooo!! I have a flat iron too! Only mine is bigger...it's a fun toy.
Beautiful mountains! I love mountains! We have nice hills here, but they don't come close to comparing with mountains.
The camera is upside-down?
Nope...no quarter here!
My answer: I agree with Mrs. Dunfee! The more the merrier! There are certain people who like to see what y'all are up to... *smile*
I'm with Cena -- the more pictures, the better.
I'm with Tiff - the camera is upside down. In my defense, I guessed that before I saw her comment. *grin*
See y'all soon! *excited smile*
Yes, the camera is upside down.
Today's post and tomorrows will be co-mingled as we are very short on photos today, except for the damage which was well documented.
Sorry Ben, but the Walkers are chanting "More pictures! More pictures! More pictures!" We love 'em.

Damage? That won't slow you down, will it? *smile*
Tiffany, through rain or snow or falling sleet (including broken windows), the Hectors will push on.
I never knew about the Buffalo Bill Museum! We'll have to check it out. Great photos. Eight in a post is great! Ten would be even better...
Blessings,
Tonya
So, Hectors,
I have some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first?
Blessings,
Tonya
I love all of the photos and the comments you leave for each...I say the more the better :)

Jean sent me the link to your family blog because I found her through one of her friends on ancestry.com and we are cousins, actually, she is my grandfather's first cousin. I have to say I love reading your blog. I check it out every morning just to see what's up! It's nice to know I have family out there. The more the merrier when it comes to photos! Keep adding them!
