The Trip towards Nauvoo

For several months now, we have been planning a trip to Nauvoo, with Sheri and Joel. Them with their truck and fifth wheel and us with our van/camper. In the back of our van, we took out the middle seats and folded the back row into the floor. Placed a deluxe inflatable full size mattress in the back and put an ice chest and our suitcases at the foot.

In the planning stage, Sheri figured out that it would take them about 6 days to get to Nauvoo with their large trailer and small children. While they have a 3 month trip planned ahead of them, we only have 2 weeks of vacation. So it was decided that they would leave a couple days before us, and we would catch up with them somewhere in Montana. And as it turned out we caught up with them Sunday afternoon just outside of Bozeman, MT at the home a longtime family friend, Colette Crawford. Where she fed us a yummy Elk Steak Dinner, and allowed us use of her shower. (But not in that order)

Colette's husband Lonnie took Seth out for a ride on the tractor, next thing we knew Seth was steering the tractor with minimal help from Lonnie.

As you can see Seth had a great time.

We travled with Sheri and Joel all the next day and camped together in Rapid City

so we could all go see Mt. Rushmore!

We all had a great time traveling together!

Tuesday morning we parted ways with them so we could travel at "real" speeds, arriving at mom and dad's house in Nauvoo IL at 2am wednesday morning! =)
