Thanks for your prayers!

We made it back safe and sound on Monday afternoon. The bus performed very nicely and we are all excited about the prospect of traveling again! In fact, we almost scheduled a trip to Utah next week!!!

Here's a brief trip report:
We left our house at about 10PM Thursday night and drove all the way through the night to Bend, OR. We only stopped once for fuel...made it in about 16hrs.

Enjoyed an awesome family camp hosted by the Johnson family. (Friday-Sunday)

Left camp Sunday afternoon and visited our friends house (also in Bend, OR) for several hours...Hit the road for home at about 11PM. Stopped for fuel and picked up a passenger who needed a ride to Sacramento area! Drove straight through to Sacramento where we fueled up (and dropped off our passenger).

The only excitement happened when we hit the Grapevine (a five mile, 6% grade) in the heat of the day, 100+ deg. Our bus would normally climb this hill at a whopping 20MPH. But this time, due to the heat, we had to slow it down to 10...and we had to turn the heater on full! It was a blast! A HOT blast!!! Never was the AC appreciated more then when we made the top of the grade!

Thanks for all your prayers!
