....then I long for my Indiana home!

We’re back in Lafayette for about three weeks before we head out on our next adventure. When we pulled into the drive Tuesday evening, Dallas & Chloe were out at the pole building and Chloe was jumping up and down, she was so excited…. and so were we! It was so good to see them after 6 months!

Doug is happy to be back in the shop and it’s a good time to do maintenance on the truck .

And here is Dallas with his latest project -- a large GoCart/small Dune Buggy!

It’s just a good feeling to be back “home” helping out here wherever needed and seeing our family & friends.

Back Home in Texas!

We're back in San Antonio. Our Mexico trip was a great adventure but I'm glad to be back and was singing "God Bless America" as we crossed the border! Doug really enjoyed getting to use his Spanish and had lots of opportunities to do just that.

We didn't have any trouble crossing back into the US. At the Mexican checkpoint, we turned in our tourist cards and truck permit but will keep the RV permit as it is good for 10 years. At US Customs, they had us pull over to the side of the road and searched our RV. First they brought in a dog to sniff for (we assumed) drugs; then two other officials looked to see what food we brought back. They questioned some of our meat but only confiscated Doug's granny smith apples!

We will stay here for a few weeks then head out on another excursion where we will ultimately end up at the Grand Canyon to do some hiking end of April.
