Road Trip or Trip in the Road?

We made it last night into Fort Collins! I am sitting in Starbucks with the kids taking a break to write. Here is a small glimpse of our Adventure to Colorado.....

God has been so good to us. We are blessed to be safe today.

1. We left early Saturday morning and headed out over the Sierras.
2. Landcruisers: all the girls including a sleepy puppy plus a bike rack full of bikes.
3. Burb': Boys only and the over loaded and over weighted trailer.
4. Great weather for driving. We were stoked on how well the trip was going.
5. We were, oh, 30 minutes past Winnemucca, Nv when a tire blew out on the new trailer taking the fender off too. After a repair and then into elko for a new tire we were off again! We had to take it slow from there.
6. Motel 6 here we come! Salt Lake City.
7. After an inspection of the room the girls and I were totally grossed out! Becca and I had bugs in our bed. We DID NOT sleep under the sheets that night. I took a shower with flip flops on in the morning! So glad to get out of there.
8. Stopped in and amazing little town called Jeremy Ranch Utah...look it up... for Starbucks. Beautiful!!!
9. The road was clear and the drivers respectable. Good driving!
10. Wyoming: Outside of Rawlins a bad, bad thing happen.... the bike rack broke and off went the bikes! I was praying there wouldn't be a major accident. The cars and trucks avoided the bikes and no one got hurt. Terrell and Gabe ran to get the bikes and evaluate the damage. T's bikes are trashed. Gabe's too. My gears and handle bars drug along the ground. We have some replacements to do.
11. After making some adjustments and getting the "bikes" in the trailer and truck, we were off again.
12. We made it into FC last night and took the kids to dinner.ahhh!
13. Motel 6...again.... this time it was very clean. YAH!

Now we are in FC and it reminds me of Ky when I was a child. Wonderful!

I'll down load some pictures soon.
