Well, some of you may have heard about our plan. Some have heard and think we are nuts. We are. On May 20th, tomorrow, we are leaving on a road trip to the east coast and back. We are taking Luna and Rita, and we have outfitted our "big" Prius with a platform bed. We also have a tent that will attach to the back of the car. There is tons of storage under the platform, and the dog crates fit perfectly. So, please stay tuned for updates if you are interested. I hope to post a few pictures and five things each day that surprise us, bug us, or that we find funny.
Our goal is to hit Scarsdale, New York, and help Sophie and Mike move back to California. Oh, and Callie too. They will caravan back with us. Not to worry. We will not have four people and three dogs sleep in the car!
The only bummer is that it looks like we will have rain for at least the first couple of days. Thank goodness there are dog-friendly hotels along the way!
If you need to get in touch, I will have my bcgates@sbcglobal.net email up and running, and my cell phone should work. However, I realize that we may hit some spots without coverage, so don't worry if we don't update.

The girls are ready!
Bill building the platform. Looks like he has his priorities right.
That's it. Going minimal. The curtain is for privacy while we sleep. I've made cardboard cutouts for the side windows that pop in. Coleman stove, small cooler, decks of cards, flask of whiskey. What more would we need?
