Roger's Big Adventure

(this is a cell phone picture)
Dec. 19th, as Roger, Glenn, Andy and Jon were ready to head for California. They had gotten 16" of snow over night. It took them 1 1/2 hours to make it from this driveway to the end of the block.


"The Dad Tracker"

We thought it would be great if David could keep track on Roger's trip. He called or text us each time they crossed the boarder into a new state. I only got one call at 1:00am.

Roger left for Wisconsin on Dec 16th to help move his brother Glenn and family home to California. Heather and the kids fly in on wednesday, the 24th. We can't wait to see them. Roger flew from Oakland to Salt Lake City, where he boarded a flight with his brother Andy to Chicago. Their brother-in-law Jon joined them on thursday the 18th. The Uhaul truck broke down an hour out. They left a whole day and a new truck later. There were 4 drivers and 2 vehicles. The plan was to rotate drivers. The weather was terrible across the upper plains so they decided to go south. They figured it out as 2400 miles and 48 hours. Well, they did it 7 states in 48 hours, even with another break down about 2 1/2 hours from home. We are so happy that they are home safe and in time for Christmas. They diffently had a journal worthy trip.
