My wastebasket holds most of my photography… that either makes me a poor photographer or a great editor.  – Donna Downey

It's almost roadtrip time!  After working the past twenty-six days straight to get ready, I am looking forward to some rest and relaxation of course filled with photography.  It I don't get too distracted this afternoon and I can finish up these last few projects, we will be on our way sometime tomorrow. 

I have to remind my wonderful friends, family and acquaintances that this journal is not meant to be a great literary work but simply a way to jot down our thoughts about all the things that you experience on a good roadtrip. All who tarry here are welcome to totally ignore the journal and/or the photos.  Most of them will be most appreciated by our family who eagerly wait to hear which way we went and what we saw and think that  photo of us and the pups in front of a huge redwood or a National Park sign ranks right up there with Ansel Adams.  That's one of the great things about your family and your dearest friends!

Anyway, we are so looking forward to beginning this journey.  As many of you know, Charles Dad, Bill  was ill for over eighteen months and passed away in July.  His mother has had some health problems as well but is now doing very well and getting back to her spry self.  It has been a very difficult year for us so bear with us if we tell you over and over again how much Bill would have enjoyed this view or that ranch.  They often traveled with us and it brought us such joy to see them enjoying the backroads of this great country. 

So join us for this rambling journal and a few photos as we begin another great roadtrip.  Yahoo!!!

Let's get this show on the road... literally.

Hope you all are well as we begin.

Peace, Hope & Love,

Donna, Charles, Paris & Dodger
