Here we are on Catalina Island. What a cool place! 

We're finally in Phoenix and it was 118 yesterday, or so we heard! Rachel and I had no idea where this trip was going to take us, but looking back it was well worth it. We're tired, broke, still homeless and jobless, but we're working out all of the details right now. I've got to say, I have a new perspective on life having taken this trip. Thanks to all who helped make this trip a success. Thanks God for an abundant life. 

Half Way

We are planning to leave Oregon tomorrow morning very early. We've
recently had a great time with Jen Gingrich and Rod Yoder here in
north Oregon. So far, Cliff has become quite accustom to traveling in
the car. He just finds a place to sleep and chills out. We've
visited Marion SD with Larry and Anette, Oak Lane Hutterian, the Bad
Lands SD, the big horn mountains, Jackson WY, the Grand Teton National
Park and Yellowstone, Boseman MT with Jimmy and Melinda Talarico(we
tied them in Cranium), Cascade ID was nice with Uncle Pal, June, Jake
and Gracie, leaving ID we drove through the Columbia River Gorge and
had a great view of Mt. Hood. There are so many detail, so hopefully
I'll get the audio blog to work tonight or tomorrow morning. I
haven't really tried to figure it out since there is so much to see
and do. Greetings to all who know we're on this trip and are praying
for us.
