Hello all of you Hector blog followers! We are off on the final chapter of the Elevenfold cord, one last piling into the RV with 11 people, and the beginning of a new set of journeys.
As is common during our trips, bets were taken on what time we would actually leave. Mom wanted to leave at 0800hrs, Dad didn't care (except he claims he wanted to get me to Tiffany as fast as possible), Thomas said 1030hrs, and I claimed around 1100, with a latest time of 1145hrs. We left at...........................1208hrs. Right on schedule.
After waving goodbye to our wonderful neighbors:
We stopped at our traditional spot to get a bon-voyage picture, and Sara wanted to try being a cheerleader!
Not much of significance happened on the first leg of the trip. Sara and I slept for a few hours, Nic read his book, and everyone else lounged around. We have seen the beautiful mountain vistas of the Sierra Nevada so often that no one even looked outside! (I even had to grab this photo from elsewhere on the net....)
After the decent into Reno, it was discovered that the Atlantis Buffet was closed until 1630hrs, and we had an hour to kill. That was spent looking for a mattress, none was found, which made Anton very happy:
There are two reasons for going to a casino, neither of them being gambling. One is the food, which we enjoyed so much that there were no photos, and the other is a ride on the glass elevator. We are much too poor to hit the amusement parks, and this is the next best thing!
Before hitting the road again, Dad took a moment to enjoy the scenery, that and we had accidentally locked him out of the RV:
Time on the road was spent getting our 38 pounds of tomatillos ready for traveling:
and looking for brown signs:
Right now we are traveling down Hwy 50, across the ruggedly beautiful land of rural Nevada. One additional loss during this trip will be the pictures of our trying to find internet connections in odd places. Droid phones are able to link our computers anywhere we are, and that will hopefully mean more frequent updates! Pray for safe travels during this trip, and the Lord's blessings on our journey. One last photo, for your enjoyment:
Later!

Asking someone to marry you...is that all it takes? *grin*
A journey to begin a grand adventure...I can't believe it's here already! Wasn't it just yesterday that we were freezing to death on the back porch making a million happy phone calls? *sigh* Where did all of the time go?
Oh! I know those wonderful neighbors! They will be missed at the grand celebration. :(
Ummmmmmmm...photo didn't work.
Nice hair cuts!!
I think that Pops had a pretty nice view up there.
Mmmmmmmmmmm....and I know what we're going to do with those tomatillos!!! Can't wait to eat the green sauce!
Okay, the Droids have another thing in their favor. I'm liking the sound of frequent updates!
Lovely closing picture. Now for the big question...how many of these photos were taken with a real camera? *smile*
See y'all soon!!!
Ohh! Memories!! Lol, especially of the casino ;). I think Anthony and Nick will know what I mean. Wow, I wish we could have gone with y'all this year.
I am looking forward to reading about this journey! Will be praying for a safe journey for all of you! :o)
Mrs. Reynolds :o)
We are all eagerly awaiting your arrival!
I must say I was *very* happy to see the boys removing the husks from the tomatillas! That will put us ahead!
The magnets arrived today!
Can't wait! Drive safely!
Following along and praying for you all. Can't wait for those "frequent updates"! So sorry we have to miss the wedding, but we'll be hear eager to welcome Tiffany to California!
