Travel Update May 22nd

Sorry we haven't been keeping you updated on our travels. Yes, the big red truck is back on the road but we have a new "regular "route. For the last five weeks Kurt has been picking up a load of windows in Tacoma on Fridays and delivering them in Denver on Mondays. He reloads with some kind of freight in Denver on Tuesday and is back in Tacoma by Thursday. Of course this gives us a way to visit our kids and grandson in Denver every weekend so we think we will stay with this route through the summer.
We have found at least three ways to travel from Tacoma to Denver so we can see some different scenery. One of the ways is to take a short cut from the corner of Wyoming up to Idaho- which takes you right by Kemmerer WY- The home of the orignal JC Penney store. A picture of the town sign is below. As you can see by the picture, Kemmerer is literally in the middle of nowhere. What would Mr. Penney think of his business if he were alive today?

Kurt is making one more run from Tacoma this week and then we will take a week off in Kettle Falls. Hope that catches you up on our comings and goings, Joanie and Kurt
