Lots of Driving 
Thursday, October 15, 2009, 10:49 AM - Driving
We drove basically all day yesterday. We stopped at a Walmart in southern Indianapolis and stayed there the night. We started out this morning and decided to stop for lunch in Louisville, KY if there was a good vegetarian place. We ended up finding a restaurant called the Zen Garden that was completely vegetarian. The food was amazing! Joe had an orange tofu dish, I had a vegetable fried rice and we both shared a Zen Garden Roll, which was a type of sushi. We'll have to remember that if we ever pass through this area again.
We're currently sitting outside "Sweet Surrender", which is a dessert cafe. They serve a vegetarian lunch also, but we aimed for the Vietnamese place instead. The dessert should be good though. We'll see. :D

Finally!

We finally left yesterday at around 4pm. Our plan was to leave right after we got the mail because we were waiting for a package. Of course that package didn't show up.... So, we decided it probably wasn't going to and just left anyway.
It's a bit chilly, but we are working our way south. Our main goal was to not be below freezing over night. We made it to Black River Falls, WI and stayed at a truck stop. It was a bit cold, but we gained 5 degrees in temperature from home! So that's a plus. Our goal today is to just keep getting farther south. We'll see how far we get. :)
The kitties are doing great traveling. Curly spends most of the driving time on one of our laps. Zoe lays in the middle of the floor somewhere. Lucy walks around, but is often in one of our laps and Pickles hides under the table. We'll see how much that changes when they get more used to it and it gets warmer.

Well, we made it home. I spent most of the day unpacking the RV. The RV is mostly done and a lot of stuff is put away. Mary took care of the house while we were gone and we came back to not only a clean and organized house, but the yard is very pretty now. She even put in pretty flowers out front. :D
So, we'll be home for a while now. At least until fall. ;)

Almost There

We left the oil field and kept working our way home. We stopped at a person's house along the way. She's one of the players and quest writers for the game. She fed us some great pizza. After that, we kept going and made it all the way to Baxter and stayed in a Gander Mountain parking lot. We should make it home in 4-5 hours now.

Heading Home 
Wednesday, June 10, 2009, 07:20 PM - Driving
We ended up staying in the parking lot of the bar Sara works at since there was a large dirt area of the lot. This afternoon, we went out to lunch with Sara and her roommate. We then headed out of town and have basically been driving ever since. We are now sitting just south of Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, parked in a National Grassland which is also an oil field. We'll be back on the road tomorrow morning.
I'll post the Yellowstone photos here.

Old Faithful erupting.

An old geyser.

One of many very neat colored, hot springs. This one is one of the hottest I believe.

Joe's favorite area in the park. He likes his rocks. ;) This very short little road went through the rocks. It looked like giant boulders had just been thrown down to the ground.

A mountain goat that was just off the side of the highway while we were working our way out of the park.
