With all our commitments done, we ventured into new territory; unscheduled travel. With nothing on the calendar but to get to Colorado before winter we waved goodbye to our Washington family and pointed Marcel further North West in hopes of making it to un-civilization before the sun set. Kerri had...
Kerri and I spent nearly a week living like regular folk; inside a house, on a regular bed, with running water, electricity, and a daily hot shower. This, so I could relieve my sister and brother in-law from parent-sitting for a weekend so they could get away for something fun....
