As of right now, we're south of Colorado springs, tomorrow we head towards Denver-ish. From San Francisco to here.... it has been boiling hot, 107+ degrees from mid cali till we got to colorado, the desert... lives up to its name, we had a little bit of an overheating problem, but one stop and we're all good, nothing's cracked. Vegas... is somthing to be seen, we ate at the Hooters Hotel, and walked around for quite a while, bright place, not to mention it was over 100 even after midnight. After that we hit up the Grand Canyon, quite the grand view, ha. We've gone so many places it really is hard to remember what all we have done in the past few days. Today we went to the Great Sand Dunes in Colorado. It's an odd odd place... more or less like somone took a trillion tons of sand and just decided to dump it by some mountains. it was literally like a two mile hike to the top of a dune. that should get us caught up and up to date. time to wade through the pictures and find some

They say third time is charm.

107 degrees sounds hot! Continue to enjoy the ride. When you get back you just need to schedule a press conference and update everyone at once. LOTS of pople are keeping up with you. Enjoy the concert and thanks for the update. Here's a hug. a kiss, and a pat on the back for all of you!

Lots of well wishes

Good job overcoming the overheating issue! That's why they call it the desert. Keep in mind possibly swinging thru Florida on the way home. Or everyone is welcome when Chance comes down after the Trip. Remember...life is the journey not the destination.

Hey Guys,
It is good to know that you are still safe and having a wonderful time. Awesome pics, just like before. I agree, you boys are the talk of the town. Since I found out about it I have told several friends what I know of your trip. Everyone is anxious to hear more. I agree with the Laxton's when they say to schedule a press conference. I think a major spread in the newspaper would also be a good way to share your story. I think Daniel is jealous!! :) Boys, know that I am still praying for you. Don't forget to give God the thanks He deserves for watching over you all on this journey. Be safe on your trip back home.
