Underway!

We're now in Indiana at the Werner family home. We took today off to re-pack the truck, to get things better organized, and to give Baxter some time to relax after a long day on the road.

Things were a bit hectic with last-minute packing and all, but we got the truck loaded to the gills with all of our assorted junk. Angela helped load the kayak and we were on our way.

A bit of a late start in the morning (of course), but we made it the 600 miles to Greensburg, IN by midnight or so. After spending Tuesday getting the Werner girls off to the airport to fly back to their various homes, we got started with the unloading, reloading and cleaning that needed to be done.

Thanks to a friendly police officer in rural Indiana, we discovered a burned-out headlight that also needed to get fixed. We spend today helping Merita with heavy around-the-house-and-yard stuff. Christina masterfully repacked the truck and we now have plenty of space for everything. We even got in a few things we didn't think we'd get to take along!

Baxter has done really well along the way. He fusses a bit about going so fast (much beyond standard kitty speeds), but he soon settles down and just naps. He does seem to have an inordinate interest in tractor trailers, though, and runs to the window to see them go by when he can.

Kitty's pretty much settled in here in Greensburg. Not sure he's really looking forward to taking to the road again tomorrow. Here he is camped out on Merita's couch.

But it's back onto the road for us all tomorrow. We're trying to get past Chicago before the Memorial Day weekend traffic really gets going. Then off to the Dakotas and into the West!

More news and some snazzier pictures, we hope, in the coming days...
