Our trip east

We left in the middle of the night on May 19th, finally landing in Alexandria, VA on May 22nd. Below is a snapshot of the Land Cruiser somewhere near Columbus, OH after overnighting with family. Minus the rocking chair strapped to the roof rack, we were a pretty salty bunch. Of note: we left with three heavy-duty tubs on our rear hitch carrier; by Day 2 there were only two. A long and painful story.

Oh Linde, bummer about the tub falling off. How tough! Hope the trip get WAY better!

inquiring minds want to know! what's the long and painful story? or is it too fresh...you need some time to recover from the trauma first?

Despite the blizzarding passes through Colorado and rain through Kansas, the exhaust melted a hole through the tub. We lost the graduation gift we bought Cam along with John's dress shoes-- melted to the core. And Piper's baby doll was scorched. It was a sad day in Salina.
