Liesl is my little dog. She's a dachshund/rat terrier mix. Sometimes also known as "the rat-weiner".

Eunice says to drink plenty of water. Save travels with Thirsty. Gasoline was $3.35 per gallon last weekend here Vinton, Iowa. Love ya, from T and E P .

Thanks, T & E! Thirsty is very heavy and the rooftop box does add some drag, so I am going to try to be gentle with her. Though I hope she doesn't get hooked on that cheap gas.

Ter—

While you’re in Lawrence, see if you can find any artwork by Adam Rohe—posters, postcards

& such. My maternal great grandfather, he was a son of German immigrants, & a Union soldier who escaped from Andersonville, then re-upped.

Later he settled in Lawrence & did some poster art work of the town to attract immigrants. Also some crazy complex political cartoons, though I think he made his living painting stage scenery.

Have fun with Sierra.

Thank you! I will probably try to get through Arizona pretty quickly this time. There is too much to see! I am wondering how much of our route in the other direction I'll retrace. I remember getting a good comet photo near Casa Grande I think.

Terri, this is a trip more journey and heroic. I'm 85 now and it would not be something I can do more than imagine. So I am so interested to hear about and also to keep you in my heart. Ed Mycue

Ed, I will definitely be thinking about you when I return to Ghana. And hopefully bring you along a little, virtually.

I prefer an old WWII term for the 'homeless'. Displaced persons. You go. Thanks for inviting me.
