Matt Hey guys. Loving the travel log. Where's the gnome in all the pics? Seriously, I think we need more pictures. Feeling a little out of the loop. Just tried Google Earth but I couldn't find you Oh well. To make up for it, I've taken a vow of showerbacy. I will not be taking another shower until I hear that you 2 have done so. Just trying to help your re-introduction to civilization. Speaking of back home, if either of you tries to dig a hole in the backyard to answer nature's call at my house there will be trouble. That and Zen will probably loook at you funny! Oh, and Zen says hello. She thinks you need to extend the excellent adventure another couple of months, cause the Cubbies are 15-4 since you've been gone! Hope all is well out in Montana, can't wait to see you next weekend. Take care, and watch out for the meeses!! And for the record, I got the math problem on the 1st try!

Warren Gast Looks like and sounds like you're having a great time. Yes, elude the meese. I read about entensive forest fires in NE Utah. Are you anywhere near that or have you heard anything about them? This website is a great idea....I finally figured it out. I thought it was just an itinerary. Oops! Westward, ho! Have fun. -Dad

Brendan Looks like you guys are having an awesome time!!! The pictures are beautiful, Brendan

Sean Eddy Looks like you guys are having a blast. Hope you avoid the fires in Utah. I loved the pic of Alcatraz - for a moment, I thought the road trip was bringing you out West!

Ben Thompson OK, so now I'm really jealous! I could use some beef-smelling ice water from Wall Drug right about now. You've still got the best part of your trip coming up! So you guys sick of driving yet? Wishing you both the best and looking forward to reading more.

Mom Hi Guys, Sorry I missed your phone call yesterday. Just finished reading your blog and looking at all the pictures and I loved it. It's so fun to actually see what you are up. The pictures are great and of course, I love the captions. Especially: Bethany Gast, Coors Photgrapher. It looks like it is so much fun except for the tornado weather. Keep the blog and pictures coming. Love you guys, Mom P.S. Pat meant milking the elks on the last message

Alyson Greetings Bedo and Andrew! I hope you two have a wonderful trip out west as you see some of America's most beautiful parks.

Be sure to visit the infamous Wall Drug, Bear Country USA, and try some panning for gold if you have time Can't wait to see all your pictures and catch up with you once you return. We'll see you in August at the Couples Shower BBQ and have a fabulous time! All my love, Alyson
