I think while blogging about our trip cross country, I'm going to take things slow and not rush through them, blogging only a few states at a time. There's so much to write about and pictures to upload it gets to be overwhelming...so here goes:
After days and days of hard work, little sleep and lots of stress, we packed everything up and took off Saturday, July 23rd, around 5PM. After Anson Jr. came home from Trek that is. (and what's left of his straw hat).
Here's a picture (HDR) I took of our vehicle when the sun was setting. (At a rest stop somewhere in Oregon).
We made it as far as Ontario, Oregon that night (at 2AM) and pulled into the only hotel in that town - The Budget Inn. It was ugly and disgusting but we were so tired and really didn't have any other choice. You see the bright blue of the doors? That was the color of our bathtub and toilet.
The next day, we drove from 10:30AM-6:30PM almost running out of gas along the way)...to get to our reunion in Ashton, Idaho at The Squirrel Creek Ranch. Anson and I had a room with a King sized bed, our own bathroom and a balcony we share with a room next to ours. The kids slept on cots we use for camping. The kids went exploring, saw some albino buffalo and got bit up by mosquitoes right away. The had fun firing their BB guns, playing with their cousins, paint balling and running around.
The night before the end of the reunion I drove down the street and took a picture of this abandoned farm house as the sun was setting.
After we left the reunion, we stopped at this other abandoned farm house and I got some pictures of it.
