west-coast, WATCHOUT!!!

It's true....Ben and Bree are conquering the west-coast. We headed out of Lexington on Monday with the Mazda truck, a new $65 topper, and an unknown route and an unknown day of arrival at our final destination of Mendecino California. Ben has some friends who live on a goat ranch in northern California and so we had to ask ourselves, is there anything we could be doing with our lives right now that sounds any better than playing with goats? The answer was definitely a no...so we are California bound. We passed through St. Louis, and Kansas at record speed and have spent the last day and a half with our friend Maggie in Breckinridge, Colorado. In St. Louis, we didn't want to pay the $5 to park at the arch, so we did a "rolling stop" and snapped individual pictures with the arch behind us, and we were back on the road. Once you reach Kansas, you actually enter another time dimension where you feel that each passing hour may actually be an eternity. There were several roadside attractions advertised including the birth place of Bob Dole and Arlen Specter, the "world's largest prairie dog", a "36 inch live donkey", a "giant van gogh painting", to name a few. Maybe we are losers...but we decided the most exciting part of Kansas was actually the continental breakfast at the Holiday Inn. (I'm talking waffles, fruit loops, boiled eggs...)
Anyway, so we got to Breckinridge Colorado and have been hanging out and loving the scenery and freezing our arses off. We went cross-country skiing yesterday and are recouping today. I think we're headed to Moab Utah tomorrow. Hope all is well....give us a call! Ben's cell is 502-389-8982 and I dont have one. Peace!
