Thanks for playing....

Today we will arrive full circle, back in the Bay Area, after almost 8 months on the road. We stayed overnight in Bakersfield in the middle of an orange grove and as I was checking out the ripe oranges on the tree next to us, I couldn't help but also notice our US map, on the back of the van, now covered with the states that we stayed in.



So with appologies to Jonny Cash.... sing along if you know the words:

I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere, man
Crossed the deserts bare, man
I've breatherd the mountain air, man
Travel - I've had my share, man
I've been everywhere

Our plan is to stay in the Bar Area for the next month or so, deciding where we would like to settle down, and then head that direction when weather permits.

We will occasionally add to the blog, but not as often. Thanks to everyone who followed our adventures, posted comments and sent emails, it was like having our friends and family along for the ride (without having to feed you).

We'll see you soon!
