Subject: Car Number 3!!! Seriously!

 Yes, we are driving a third car. This time we made it to Denver Colorado and the  gas pedal started hiccuping on us. We thought it might be the gas line, maybe  dirt or air or the different types of gas we've used. The Hertz in Denver did  not have any cars, but told us there was another office about 7 miles back that  had some cars available. We took a chance on driving it there and made it,  although we hiccuped there and stalled a couple times.   Now, as you see in this picture, we have upgraded again from the Toyota Camry to  a Ford Escape. Hopefully, we will escape any more car troubles and continue  home.  Sent from my jphone  

Car Number 3!!! Seriously!

Gas station in Des Moines, Iowa

New Buffalo, Michigan...Chicago style hot dogs

Middle America

We are pretty much right in the center of the United States traveling to the border of Nebraska and Iowa right now.  Stopping in Omaha for the night and driving to Castle, Colorado tomorrow which will be 11-12hrs, but we also gain another hour too.  I cannot wait to drive through and see the Rocky Mountains and my Aunt Noreen, Natalie and Donovan.

The rental car is great and the fireflys out here in Iowa are huge...I see tons glowing next to the highway, it's like a bunch of Smurfs with flashlight, LOL.

Good Night!

Back On Track

Okay...we unpacked Hindi and packed our rental Toyota Camry.  Who knew that we would break down just crossing the timeline.  I think she couldn't handle the skip back an hour.

We are basically a day behind schedule, but now have the rental long enough for Jay to drive to LA, drop off their stuff, then drive back to Vegas.  It's nice to have unlimited miles. 

Tonight we will stay at Andy and Jen's house, thank you again.  And maybe see Carrie and Mike if they are around.  We left Hindi at the garage and said good bye.  She was a hard worker, now being donated for charity.

Oh, we ran into Mark's brother Tim at the Hertz office.  He was towing some woman from CT's mini cooper who's front driver side tire flew off on a bridge because the garage that had rotated her tires, obviously didn't tighten the lug nuts.  Yiks!
