Day 24 & 25 (6/15 /09 & 6/16/09)
Yes we are still alive! Due to sever weather in Missouri, which played havoc with our schedule, (and lack of Internet Monday evening) I have been unable to keep the blog updated. Tomorrow's weather looks better. If all goes well, we will cross the Mississippi in the late morning and arrive early afternoon in Carbondale, Il. on Wed. 6/17, allowing me time to update the Blog. Briefly, we spent Sunday evening in Marshfield, Mo.; spent Monday evening in Eminence, Mo.; and are spending Tuesday, 6/16 in Farmington, Mo.

Eminence, Mo., no wonder you had no cell phone. The populaton is only 528 people. They can communicate by yelling.
ReplyDeleteNow Farmington, Mo was an interesting place. First established in 1800 , when the trritory was still owned by the Spanish. It became Mo. via the Louisiana purchase in May 1803.
Carbondale, Ill is often referred to as Little Egypt. In the famine of 1800, this area supplied the entire state with grain.
Hi dad and Uncle Tim,
ReplyDeleteWe had a fun girl sleepover last night. Moxie LOVES Cara but she was a little rambunctous before she got to know her. Dougie misses you and can't wait until he can cuddle with you again. Have a fun and safe ride across the rest of the country! :-)

Tim,
ReplyDeleteWe're planning a get together Friday July 9th. Can't wait to catch up on your adventures. Best of luck with your final s-t-r-e-a-c-h! Your SKF buddy, Jack
Like the Apollo 13 mission that was out of communication while cruising on the dark side of the moon, you guys emerge from the blog blackout and update us with the much anticipated prediction of your arrival on the shores of the Mighty Mississippi. The feeling has to be that of almost being home crossing that watery threshold. I'm packing the bags for the rendezvous with the BRAG crew next week sometime!
