Home

Home is a wonderful place. After 5207 total miles we arrived home Sunday night at 9:15 P.M.. Sunday was a very long day driving from the west side of Chicago to Shelby in one day (14 hours and 750+ miles). We all collapsed in bed after stowing the camper and slept like the dead. Monday morning brought work, football practice and a return to "normal" life. Over the last two days I have had some time to reflect on our journey and am amazed at all we did and saw over the 16 days of our journey. We were blessed with safety and minimal mechanical difficulties. We were blessed with the opportunity to see and enjoy some beautiful and unique parts of God's creation. We were also blessed with the chance to share this experience with good friends. This adventure will certainly be one of the most memorable times of my life. I hope that this blog/journal has allowed others to get a feeling for what we saw and experienced and perhaps will encourage them to pursue their own adventure.
