We're Truckin'!

The view from our front door!

Our first night we stayed in Bullhead City right next to the Colorado River.  We then made our way to Oatman, a little old west town they call a ghost town.  Lakyn got bit by a donkey!  Hahahahaha!!!  She's okay, it was just a little nip.  I got a picture of it but the delay on the camera missed the action and only got the aftershock. 

 




We left Oatman by winding back and forth up a narrow two lane road, people looked at us funny, probably callin' us dumbasses but we had fun.  This pic was taken on what we call Deadman's Point due to the numerous cross memorials.  One in particular was named Jimmy Hoffa, hmmm.  Now we are in Kingman, Arizona that doesn't have any towers for our new pay as you go phone and we have to stay here til Wednesday cuz we're volunteering at their animal shelter on Tuesday.  The fine folks here say we should have service when we reach Flagstaff though.  

We stayed in the Walmart parking lot last night!  Hahaha, it wasn't that bad, by the time it was time for bed the lot was almost full with other RVer's.  We went to the skatepark today and Aaron said it sucked.  Not much happening in Kingman.  I wish we didn't have to stay so long but we have to wait anyway for our gas money.  Can't wait to move on down the road.

I finally got my store at etsy up to sell my jewelry.  I've only posted and few things so far but I'm working on it.  I've posted a link to it on the blog in the side bar.  Check it out!!!  

This is what we asked for.  We are getting into the groove of this way of life just yet and I'm sure we'll get used to it.  Going with the flow and lightening up is what this is all about.  We'll post again when we move into another town.

Love and Light,
Tiff and family

Delayed

Hi, Just letting everyone know that we've been delayed a little, due to repairs on Gypsy Rose that needed to be done before we could pull out.  (That dang Mercury Retrograde...)  So then I had to re-consult the heavens and the closest positive date for departure is now the 17th of Feb.  That's okay though, everything happens for a reason and everything is as it should be in my book so EVERYTHING'S GOOD!!! 

I've been working on making some more necklaces for my etsy shop (Soulweaver.etsy.com) so I would have more than a few to post for sell and we should be setting it up for customers tomorrow.  Just have to retake some pics that didn't turn out like I like.  The kids have been visiting their friends and cousins, having fun, but I think everyone is ready and anxious to get going on our journey.  

We're thinking that we'll be heading into Arizona then maybe over to Slab City (see Into the Wild for further explanation and visuals on this site)  My brother wants us to go to Disneyland in April for his and his sons birthday so we will be setting up a volunteer mission for free tickets.  We love to volunteer anyway so that will be a bonus!!  We are planning to find volunteering opportunities in everyplace we end up in so maybe we'll wait to see what's available in Arizona.  Then we'll be heading up the California, Oregon and Washington Coast.  These are just tentative plans.  We know that plans change and expectations can only let us down so we try to live in the moment and go where the day takes us.

Thanks to our family for hosting a See Ya Later Alligator's party last weekend.  It was fun and the chili was really good.  I wish everyone could have made it.  It was good to see all of you together before we take off on our adventures.  I will try to figure out how to set up pictures and text on this crazy machine by the time we have some travel pics to share.

We love everyone, 
Love and Light,
Tiff & family
