Hearts across Highways with lots of miles and moments... as we go chasing "Giants" (honk if you like Sequoias)

Route of our Journey - Out and Back

7 years ago we took an adventure that led us from East to West of this great country and back. Earlier this year we started to get the 7 year inch to take another adventure.

Well we are packed booked and ready to hit the road on June13th, rack up the miles and memories.

We will be sure to keep you posted on the stops and exploits along the way. Some highlights include a Mississippi river cruise, The Black hills, the Sequoia Nat'l Park , Rainy Knights Camp and many others

Some questions to ponder....will David find a casino? will he meet some fun Canadians? What crazy games will Tracey invent?

by the way...did you know these facts about Sequoia National Park ??

• Giant sequoias are adapted to fire; their thick bark protects them from flames, and fire helps clear underbrush, allowing young sequoias to thrive.

• The landscape of Sequoia National Park was shaped by glaciers during the last Ice Age, creating its dramatic valleys and peaks.

• The first non-Native inhabitant built a log cabin in the park, which still stands today.

• George W. Bush was the first sitting president to visit Sequoia National Park in 2003. I guess Presidents don't have time while they are in office to enjoy national parks

• A fallen giant sequoia, known as Tunnel Log, was carved out to allow cars to drive through it, creating a unique roadside attraction.

Speaking of unique roadside attractions...

All of you that have been along for our previous adventures know that there WILL be random stops that David likely will not look forward to, but Tracey will stop anyway.

Who can forget the Biggest Coffee Pot and David's Love for that....hee hee hee

Stay tuned and we will see you on the road......tomorrow
