Hoora! We've made it to Tucson and Taelyn and Rachel's. It's still the stinking desert heat, but the swamp cooler keeps their floor plenty cool.

We went out last night to the hip hotel where Taelyn's the cheif and they have $1 Pabsts and amazing hot dogs. Needless to say we closed the place out, mainly hanging on the patio in the heat of the night.

Choice quotes from a Tucson native buddy named Jericho, said to his girlfriend one night in bed after a night of boozin it up: Leave me alone, you baboon she-devil! Don't touch my wardrobe, I've got a job interview! I can't procreate with you; I'm a scientist!

It's been a good run. We spent another day and night in Moab, then ran down into the Navajo rez and Canyon de Chelly for a night, then a long driving day to get here.

More photos and stuff soon. We're having the Fourth here and then the truck is going to get a little love, so we'll be connected for a bit. May rent a car for a day and make the run up to Santa Fe. We'll see.

Hey Bilbo Blogger and Vagabooyas

I'm writing from the eternal sunshine of the northern kind. I worked a half day doing construction and have the rest to celebrate the big 4. I just wanted to send a message to you guys. I hope there is some BBQing and lawn wrestling in your neck of the US. -Mark, I sorry I never got to give an official send off or goodbye, but I see that you are wearing the sacred necklace so everyihing must be working out. I tried to post pictures but the system was not working. Maybe I'll try later. good luck and happy travels.

enjoying the ride from Iowa and soon from Washington, DC :-)yps/bill

My, what a well-decorated space you appear to be in! And that female on the couch certainly appears attractive and intelligent! I'm sure the couple in the photo are the most gracious hosts you've ever encountered, and if you could, you would spend the rest of the summer engaged in deep, meaningful conversation with them! (guess who)
Here's hoping all goes well on the rest of your trip, and that Taelyn & I get a chance to see all of you again soon. Thanks again for coming!
