We started the week in the Grand Canyon, which feels like a second home. After hiking out on Friday we headed straight to Grandma Millie’s house in Prescott. Now as I write this we are preparing for Thanksgiving in Phoenix at Jay’s parent’s house. I refer to Jay’s parents house as our western headquarters and we have not been back here since April, so it feels good to be home. We got to open up our boxes and discover the clothes and such that we forgot we owned. We received mail that my parents had shipped. We also have a secure place to make modifications to the car, the bikes, and the blog, so hopefully we’ll be ready to finish out our year on the road in good shape.
