Heading west

I know, I know, how many blogs are you allowed to post in one day?!?!? Well, we haven’t had wifi to upload pictures to the blog until now. I know…Excuses, Excuses!!!  We do have an instagram account if you want more…you know…instant visuals more often!!  It’s www.instagram.com/GregLynLong/.

We left our sons house in Annapolis and drove to PA to our daughters house and spent the night and went to church with them the next morning then left heading west.

We’ve had many adventures already and seen so much it’s hard to remember it all…so here are a LOT of pictures to catch you up on what we’ve seen, done and experienced!

 

Getting propane at a beer distributor, car wash and propane vendor when a truck stop was out of it and a Tractor Supply had their tanks installed backwards so couldn’t fill one that’s built in like ours!

We’ve had LOTS of wind to deal with for a couple of days…we didn’t leave watching out for the wind behind when we got off the boat!

 

Got to meet and catch up with several of Greg’s cousins when we drove through IL.

 

Route 36 through Kansas is the route the Pony Express followed waaaay back in the day.

I love the churches in the small towns we drive through.

We saw this army tank on a semi in Nebraska headed for Ft Kearney. Greg said it’s the first time he’s ever seen a tank on the highway!

We stopped at the Great Platte River Archway for the night in Kearney Nebraska. This horse with 2 brothers (12 and 15) was about how they narrowly escaped an indian attach where they were shot with arrows one that actually pinned them together. They both survived and grew up and had families of their own.

This is a sod house. There were no building materials on the prairie so they figured out how to use sod to make bricks for their houses.

The Mississippi, Missouri and other major rivers out west have caused serious flooding!

One thing we’ve learned is that the weather can NOT sneak up on you out here!

We got to Wall South Dakota yesterday. We walked around Main Street and went into the famous Wall Drug Store.

This monument was put up on Memorial Day May 30 1939 to honor the memory of those from Wall and vicinity who were called to serve their country during The World War.

We were blessed to worship with the very friendly people of Evangelical Free Bible Church of Wall South Dakota today. We praise God everyday for the opportunity we have to make this trip. We ask you to pray for our safety on the roads and to bless our actions and words that we will be worthy ambassadors for Christ as we interact with those around us as we continue west.
