T.J. I told Connor it was missing a comma. I totally missed that joke. That's why you're a professional. :-)

Kelly did you guys win the pool for the free breakfast??

T.J. Larry, we find the eating places mostly on Yelp.com. That's where we found the Love Muffin. Karen, Yeah, Prairie Dog Town looked like the kind of place where the owner would throw rattlesnakes at you. I'm OK with not seeing it but Connor really wanted to. Sorry, Connor. Maybe next time.

DUNMORE ZALES Hey, it looks as if you're about halfway there (here? whatever...)! We think it was worth the long ride, the snow, everything--just to experience that ball o' twine!! Enjoy your KC BBQ, too! This may be the last msg you receive from us, as you'll be parting ways soon (tomorrow?). (Just kidding, T.J.! We won't forget you!)

DUNMORE ZALES Just read your latest blogs. Thank God you weathered the storm. You weren't so lucky about the prairie dogs, though. Bummer :( We're getting 2-3 inches of snow tonight--and it's NOT an April Fool's joke! Can't wait for you guys to get home--we miss you a lot!!! Mom's been staying awake, praying for your safety until 2 or 3:00 AM. Come home quick so the circles under her eyes don't become permanent! BTW, Dad doesn't even realize that you're in the process of driving across the country. Status quo, right?!!!

Amy So glad you made it through the snow storm safely! I'll think good thoughts for no snow!

Connor Oh look another victim fallen prey to the Prussians. He has mastered the true art of thievery and extortion. What a Jerk!

T.J. Thanks for following along with us. Here are some responses to your comments. Matt, nice photos! I really liked Moab/Arches and your tacky, roadside stuff. Dunmore Zales, yes, Chili is packed. We can't see out the back. Thank God for side view mirrors. Besides, what's behind us is not important. And bowling? Already? Let me settle into the Scranton lifestyle gradually, please. :-) Keep those cards and letters coming!

DUNMORE ZALES Hi, we're back!!! Seems as if you're having lots of fun. Maybe the burgers were only so-so because they were "dino-burgers"? A Joe Bonadio here:Greg and family are coming here the weekend of April 8-9. Dust off your bowling shoes, guys--we're in for a swingin' weekend!!!
