Intermission: Less than one week left.

Greetings family, friends, and fans.  Our apologies for the posting hiatus.  We've been moving pretty quickly these past few weeks, and the blog has been a struggle to keep current.  Many of the photos are hard to access, since I've resorted to storing them on an external hard-drive (after maxing out this computer's memory).  And worse, most of the photos from Texas have disappeared with yet another camera folly.

As you may remember, the Canon video camera I bought for the trip malfunctioned on day two in Idaho and was useless thereafter.  Ryan's Canon bit the dust on day 15 in Michigan after leaving it on the roof of the car.  Following along the same lines of intelligence, I placed my Nikon on the floor by our table at a restaurant in Santa Fe.  It was stolen by the time we were in Albuquerque and I realized its absence.  

To say that we've been unlucky with cameras on this trip is an understatement.  Ryan has since replaced his Canon with a duplicate.  Perhaps the manufacturer will mend the tape deck on the mini d.v. camera.  As for my Nikon, I'm just hoping that the credit agency insures the camera against theft.  

On the lighter side, we'll be home on Friday!  Even though we wont be on the road, we plan on continuing posts while we're at home.  So stay tuned to the blog and we will too!
