On the Road Again!

We are about to hit the road, with our sights set on Wisconsin and Minnesota. We won't be getting anywhere near there today...just to Rapid City, SD...and even then we are seeing quite a delay from my original itinerary as we cannot leave until an additional and unexpected orthodontia appointment is satisfied. Oh, those kids and their teeth. It looks like the weather in route today will be quite favorable, so make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their upright and locked position...sit back...and enjoy the ride. And whatever you do, DON'T ANNOY THE DRIVER! That would be mainly me.

Yesterday's official, "airport" high temperature was 93 degrees. It reached 96 at Felts Field in Spokane Valley, and probably did a bit better than that downtown. Today won't be quite as hot, as low 90s are anticipated, and then it will be down into the 80s for Thursday and Friday. There are a few showers right now well to our south, over the Blue Mountains, and that is where they will stay this morning, well to our south. From there it will be a mostly sunny day, and mostly sunny skies are forecast through Friday. On the weekend there will be a few more clouds and it will be cooler still...highs in the 70s. Where we are headed, southern Wisconsin, we should have a nice round of thunderstorms on Friday. I'm looking forward to that!

Being that we will be out on the range the next couple of days, and all there is out there is a whole bunch of antelope, it may be a bit more difficult to keep you posted on the progress of our wagon train. I'll do the best I can to search out wireless networks and report our progress.
