the trip has started! well, kind of. I'm in toledo visiting my family, dana is in bowling green visiting his friend Jeff.

We will be meeting up tomorrow so that i can drop him off at the airport to go to Yosemite, and i will head off to Chicago to pick up the Jeep from Eric. Yes, we're taking the Jeep. After much debate, it became oh-so-apparent once we packed the car. (and some of the places I want to visit suggest a 4 wheel drive vehicle) It is disapointing that we won't be saving the money (and comsuming less) on the the gas, but i think it's the right decision.

I am still having an ongoing debate with myself about whether or not to buy a nicer digital camera... perhaps in minneapolis...

check back next week for some real trip news - we should be in montana by then, and perhaps have climbed devils tower... i know the suspense is killing you!
