Whoo-hooo!!! Concatulations!!

Anyone up for a meet and greet especially down US 40?

Any chance of hitting up the Portland area before you head east?? We're
not THAT far from Seattle :-) and I would so love to meet you in person.

I'll BET!

I thought I'd replied to this. Right now, I'm planning to go down I-5 to
Portland, then up the Columbia Gorge to Lewiston Idaho, then down to Boise
Idaho then to Salt Lake then south through Orem Utah and then down to the
Grand Canyon. We'll connect to I-40 around Flagstaff and on to the east.
Plans are subject to change depending on weather conditions, pregnancy
conditions, and so forth. We'll have both Hermine and Qui Gon Cat with
us. These two have a reputation of shredding those hard plastic carriers.
Yikes.

As much as I'll miss your not being in the vicinity to visit, that sounds
like a delightful and fun road trip. I wish you well, it does sound a bit
daunting, but stay safe and please post as often as you are able so we can
vicariously enjoy the trip along with you (almost all motels have WiFi, so
I'm hoping one of you has a laptop you can drag along). I would *LOVE* to
follow your adventures!

Also, if your plans happen to change and you will be in my vicinity, just
north of Houston (which has lots and lots of interesting and fun things to
do), I hope you know that you are welcome do drop in without prior notice
and know that we have enough rooms and beds to accommodate the lot of you
(if futons are OK with you) - we have two twin beds in the guest room, a
futon in Ben's bedroom that can be moved to another, more private room, two
large sofas, a futon in my office, and a futon in the garage that we can
move to a more private room, so seven extra places to sleep. Even after
Katrina we manage to house 9 furless two-legged family, 4 d*gs, and six cats
comfortably and it didn't feel we were tripping over each other (this is an
old, dilapidated, but *very* large house). With Ben now the only
able-bodied house keeper it's a mess, but you won't need to feel
uncomfortable using or dirtying anything (I've actually managed to overcome
my OCD, came to terms with the mess, and find it is quite nice to not worry
over every fingerprint or dust bunny).

what we can do to have a Portland area RPCA gathering.

US Route 40 or Interstate 40? - both run east-west. I live a few miles
south of I 40 in South Central Missouri.




We'll be going through North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma,
New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington State (but in
reverse order) I'd love to find a way to meet though.

Well, I had a dyslexic moment - I live near I44, not I40. It would be a
long and somewhat horrible detour to come up here (the only reasonable
route back to NC runs through The Poplar Street Bridge complex between
St. Louis and East St. Louis - not for the faint of heart or the easily
confused, especially when it's under construction/repair, which it
usually is during the summer).

Please explain 'filk' for the unwashed masses (such as myself).
