Close to Dallas, Texas!!

Today we find ourselves about an hour east of Dallas Texas. We are en-route to Colorado to see David and Becky and Mike and Elizabeth who are going out there for a few days. We decided to change our plans for the East Coast and instead are heading up to Denver and then to Vail to see the kids. We have been on the road since Monday and traveled the Florida panhandle, then across Mobile Bay and on past New Orleans. We drove by Baton Rouge, Louisianna then Lafayette, and then north. Today we drove past Shreveport and into Texas. This has been quite a journey and the country side has been ever changing. First we were in the pine lands in Florida's panhandle, then near the Gulf in Mobile Bay, then across the Mississippi delta country where the freeway was a bridge that went for twenty miles across the bayous. Today we started gaining elevation through what looked like pine covered foothills in northern Louisianna. Turning to Texas the forests turned to lower brush and then farmland. The weather was in the mid-seventies with no rain. We hope that the days stay mild. Vail is forecasting snow, but hopefully will start warming up soon.

Our adventure has changed course but continues to be wonderful and we are enjoying seeing the country.

Hope all is well with everyone.
