There were some things that just made this trip better. So I want to give a shout out to couple of folks:
Joe Rachubinski- for suggesting I replace the Aliner water tank drain plug with a spigot (I am sure that is not what is it called - but you get the idea.)
Brian Glackin - for installing the battery gauge. We had electric more often that I expected, but it was a relief always knowing how charged the battery was.
Steve Rykaczewski - for getting us off the truck laden interstate and onto much calmer roads out west, for forewarning us about 60 mph winds in Guadalupe Mountains, and for suggesting Aquirre Springs and Canyon de Chelly.
Mary Glackin- for sewing the liners onto the Aliner curtains -- which worked out perfectly. And for knitting my favorite pair of socks - I was so very glad to have them when it was 32F in the NM Mountains!!
Diane Castellucci- for the Road Atlas - which was invaluable for plotting an planning our trip. And also for my lined flannel shirt- which I wear every morning while camping.
Greg Doneker - for checking in with us via FaceTime (even if it was parentally unapproved)
Bill Lee- for the old school percolator - which we used every day for life affirming coffee.
The Vernons - for serving as our personal tour guides during our Kansas visit and finding us a great place to camp.
Last but not least, my traveling companion Kathy - for putting up with me for 6 uninterrupted weeks in tight quarters!
I have no doubt forgotten something or someone- so Thank you to everyone who followed along with us in spirit :)
