We were able to get a mini-van as a rental for the next leg of our trip. The girls said they were actually happy the truck broke down because it's so comfy. Each has a bucket seat in the back that reclines and each has a shade that pulls up on the window to block out the sun. Spoiled doesn't begin to describe them!
When we got in it, the first thing that popped up on the menu was an error message "Maintenance Required". All I could think was "par for the course!" We had to go back to the rental place to get Aunt Maxine's car, so while we were there, we asked about the error message. They said it was due to the oil change that was required and completed before we got it. The error message just hadn't been reset. We googled it, but just haven't reset it as yet ourselves. Fortunately there are other menus you can scroll through to take it off. It does however still have a yellow warning light on it. We'll just ignore that for now!
It was hard to say goodbye to the Aunts and Uncles today. But knowing we'll see them again in about 10 days makes it more tolerable. They're just the sweetest. They took such good care of us while in Denver, and did a great job of keeping us positive while we rode out the bumpy ride of the truck. It's never easy leaving them.
We headed out for Park City UT for Jen to see one of her good friends over night. We traveled through Wyoming the majority of the way. It is gorgeous country for sure. The flat plains are amazing. You can see forever. It then transitions into rocky plateaus and buttes. It then further changes into what looks like the formations we saw in the Badlands. Simply breath taking.
We had a huge challenge finding a place to stay tonight. There is some sort of bicycle event this weekend that they are preparing for. I'm sure if we had googled Park City, we'd have read about it. We weren't really planning on Park City, but more Salt Lake which is just up the road. Oh well, we have a place to stay. But true to our black cloud form, Cass asked for a double room and we were told we got the last room they had. When we opened the door, it's a single double bed. When I went back up front to ask, they said "Oh no, we're sorry. The handicap rooms only have a single double bed, and that's all we have." Needless to say, she's sleeping on a roll away tonight.
Tomorrow we climb in the car to head for Crater Lake. As soon as we get on the road, we'll be trying to coordinate a place to sleep. It's somewhat out in the boonies, so I'm not really sure what we'll find. It's a 12 hour trip from where we are now, so it's going to be another long day in the car.
We're meeting Jen's friend and eating breakfast with her in the morning. They had a short hello/goodbye exchange, but a little bit of friendship time is better than none! They had met when Jen worked out here as a wilderness counselor. Oh the stories that job inspired. The best one was when the camper decided the best way to get to go home was to injure a staffer. One guess on which staffer she chose to injure?? Yup, you guessed it - Jennifer! She threw a baseball sized rock at Jen's head on her very first trip out on her new job. Fortunately she wasn't injured, but that's a story we NEVER told Eleanor about until after she came home from Utah. She'd have insisted that we go get Jen and bring her home ASAP. Just one of Jen's black could events. There are numerous to tell, but that's another blog/book!
Since tomorrow is a long day, I'll close here. We had an interesting day of arguing in the car over silly things, farting/burping contests, and picture taking at 85 mph. We made good memories vs. broken down car horror stories. Here's to hoping tomorrow holds the same!

Griswalds ain't got nutin' on the McCanns! August 3, 2015
Fifty five hours into our vacation, and we've had quite the ride. The first phone call we got from the dealership about the car was reasonably good news. The electrical issues we were having was caused by the alternator. Tony had just replaced it Friday before we left. He bought it from a local auto store, so it not being the best quality was understandable. All they had to do was replace the alternator and that was fixed. They started diagnosing the other issues from there.
Around 4:30 we got the call. In Tony's discussion with the guy that called, Tony asked him how he was doing. They guy answered "Better than your truck". We knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant call. The list of necessary repairs was long, but worse yet, was going to take a considerable amount of time to fix. The head gasket is blown, the turbo is out, and the pinion seal is leaking. It will take anywhere between 10 days to two weeks to repair.
We purchased a warranty on the truck a while back that had a mileage cap on it. At the end of this trip, that mileage cap would have been met. Since we had this issue now, the costs associated with the large majority of the repairs will be covered. That's about the only good news to come out of all these challenges. Tony will be driving a nearly brand new truck home when it all gets done.
We will be renting a car for the next phase of the vacation. We were supposed to leave at 8 in the morning for Salt Lake. That won't be happening. The repairs have to be validated with the warranty company before they'll approve the repairs and our rental car. Not entirely sure when that will take place. We're hoping it's tomorrow, but then again with the way these things seem to go, it could take longer. It's a good thing we love spending time with the Aunts!
The interesting piece of this whole nightmare is that before we left Friday, I looked at Tony and said, "Ok, you replaced all this stuff and added in all this new things, so what could possibly go wrong with it?" Never, and I mean NEVER, ask those sorts of stupid questions. The answers are sure to follow.
While the gas issue I had didn't have anything to do with these problems we're having now, I think it served a great purpose. When I was the one to cause the gas issue, everyone in the car said a prayer of thanks that it wasn't them that did it. I have a fairly fiery temper and sharp tongue to go with it. I truly believe that God was teaching me to hold my temper because shit happens and many times there is nothing that can be done about it. It's not anyone in particular's fault or responsibility. The gas issue was just the calm before the storm. I learned my lesson and have held it together fairly well through these mechanical issues.
I'm about to start looking at the plan to start developing plan B. The entire trip we'll have the looming question of when the truck will be ready. Cassidi starts back to school August 19th. She has to be back by then. If all else fails, she'll catch a plane back. Jennifer and I are supposed to be back for work on the 18th. I guess if worse comes to worse, we can create some wiggle room there. I told Tony that we'd three catch a plane back and he could drive back when it's ready. He didn't like that plan. The only thing I can think to do is just let go of the "what ifs" and do our best to enjoy the "right now". This trip sure has put my stress management and yoga skills to the test. Deep breaths... One foot in front of the other... Find the happy place...

If you want coke, ask for coke! August 2, 2015
Today has been a much better day. For one, being out of that truck has been glorious!! We didn't have to check on battery warning lights, drive without a speedometer, or worry if we had the right gas. We didn't have to adjust our pillows and blankets trying to find just the right spot to catch a few minutes of shut eye. We didn't have to drive aimlessly for hours on end!
Today was a day for enjoying family and catching up with Tony's sweet Aunts. Aunts Maxine and Earnesteen are some pretty cool people. And of course, so are Uncles Jack and Fred. It's always great catching up with them and seeing how life has been treating them since the last time we were together.
Being Irish, alcohol runs in their veins and we had to have cocktail hour. They offered Cass her choice, and she decided on rum and coke. Aunt Maxine doesn't believe in doing anything half way and the rum may have outweighed the coke by a bit. Cass cringed slightly when taking the first swig and immediately was told "If you want coke, ask for coke!" We all died laughing. That's Aunt Maxine - no holds barred. Love that woman!!
We have come up with a plan of Tony taking the truck to the Ford dealership here early tomorrow morning. We're hoping for nothing but good news! It did run fine around the city today, albeit we only went a total of 20 miles or so. Maybe all the kinks worked themselves out over night and tomorrow will be nothing but smiles and high fives.
The crew is exhausted. They were all in bed sleeping by 9:15. I thought I better get caught up on blogs while I had a chance. Tomorrow is another day of rest, and we'll gladly take it. We're going to need to play some catch up as Tuesday we get back to the mad dash vacation.

Disaster strikes - August 1, 2015
(I wrote this after getting back on the road)
Well, as luck would have it, the wheels on the bus came off our trip about 3:30 a.m. We were just outside of St. Louis when I stopped to get gas before our MO pic (the girls decided to take a body letter making pic for each state sign) and switching drivers. As fate churned, I mistakenly put regular gas into the diesel truck. I had three signs I had the right pump, but in hindsight, I also had three that it wasn't. Bottom line, it was the wrong thing, and I unknowingly killed the truck. Nine hours and $600 later, we're back on the road. We're doing our best to make up ground and stay on track, but that's to be seen. MidAdventure McCanns - that is our family motto!
(update)
Tony had asked us to start a journal that stays in his truck to document the trip. We all laughed a bit because he was so excited about it. The funny part is that it's a journal that he made out of leather. He's a leather nut, but the look of excitement on his face when he told us was priceless. He didn't like us laughing at him, so I agreed to update it.
When we stopped in at the MO welcome center, I decided to correct the bad luck we were having by finding a four leaf clover. I've always been able to find them and have had fairly good luck in life. I even have one tattooed on my foot with all of our initials in each leaf. I'm a firm believer in their luck generating capabilities!
No sooner did I finish the journal entry and put the four leaf clover in the back of the journal, and I looked up to see traffic at a dead stop ahead of us. Tony was somewhat of a zombie from lack of sleep from our interesting night and wasn't paying attention. I let out a screech and he fortunately was able to lock down the breaks in time without hitting them. My heart was pounding, and I had more than my tired body could take. Everyone in the car was discussing their reaction to the near accident. It was somewhat funny (for example Cass said she thought she crapped her pants), but no humor could stave off the meltdown that burst out of my body.
I think the lack of sleep, peri-menopausal PMS, and just too many things going wrong in too short of a period of time mounted into a full on sobfest for me. I had cried the night before when Tony wasn't as kind as he could have been initially when I killed the truck. But this was a whole new level of tears gushing from my eyeballs. I couldn't stop them. And then I just wanted it to be over. The WHOLE TRIP!! I begged them to just stop and put me on a plane home. I had endured enough and just wanted OUT of that truck.
Fortunately, I came to my senses, moved to the back seat, and got in a nap. I woke up with a better frame of mind and didn't insist on the plane ride home. I didn't return to the front seat again until the very last leg of the trip last night coming into Denver. The truck started experiencing some electrical difficulties after the gas situation was corrected. The dashboard would just lose power and all the gauges would drop to zero and the battery light came on. Tony messed around with it a bit and we diagnosed the problem as being all the gadgets we had plugged in pulling too much electricity off the battery. We did various things to try and correct it, but each time it would happen again. When we pulled in to the hotel, there was a horrible smell coming from the engine. We had no idea what that was, but decided to sleep on it.
In my planning, I had allocated 26 hours for a 22 hour google map estimate. It only took us 36! The fortunate piece is that our plan may not have to change if we can get the truck issues resolved. We'll see how that goes come Monday. Our hope is that every bad piece of luck seems to have struck in this 36 hours. We're hoping it's done with us! Maybe I'll just go out and pick every dang four leaf clover in Denver to make sure of it.

NorthWest Adventure - July 31, 2015
(I wrote this in a journal Friday evening as we were heading out)
Our trip originated as Jen's 30th birthday celebration. Well, before that it was about picking up Aunt Maxine's moose collection she gave Tony. I made Jen pick the route and attractions that we'd visit. She took a chapter out of the over achieving sampler tour we took in 2003. We crammed in more than was imaginable that trip. I think we may just out do even that crazy feat.
The logistics of scheduling this trip were a tad more challenging this time. Jen was 17 and Cass 8 then. We only had Tony and my work to consider. This time, we had to take into account Tony's London travels, Jen's work, Cass' college, and my new business. Picking a date proved rather difficult. We settled on the end of July into August. Jen kept waffling on the date to leave, but we finally got it settled.
In trying to determine what vehicle to take on the trip, I knew immediately we would NOT be buying or renting an RV like last time. We looked into renting a van, but they wouldn't let Cass drive due to her age. None of those options worked out, so we decided on taking the truck. Of course Tony needed to "tune up" lots of things - in addition to buying new gadgets like a back up camera. He always makes sure to collect a few toys on these adventures. Let's hope there is no need for any new tools on this trip however!
While the monster truck is rather large, we knew space was going to be an issue. Especially when Cassidi takes three bags to spend one night. We quickly came up with a bag limit, of which we knew she'd break anyway. The girls wanted to take camping gear and again I immediately said no way! We definitely won't have time to find a site, set up, and break down each day. Plus driving non-stop is going to make our bodies feel like crap. Sleeping in a soft bed and having a hot shower the next morning is going to feel much better than the hard ground. I haven't made all the reservations as yet, but I know which locations need hotels.
I did break out the anal retentive, vacation Nazi and created a spreadsheet for our travels. I wanted everyone to sign it like a contract to commit to the plan and not waver half way through. I know my clan well. We'll get to the top corner of WA and they'll poop out. Needless to say, no one signed it!
All the planning and packing and scheduling has come to a close. If we forgot it, we'll just have to buy it new - whatever that may be. The first leg is visiting the Aunts in Denver (and picking up the moose collection!) We're driving straight through. We're only 3.5 hours in, and I'm ready to be there already. Should be a blast!!

To start our vacation off with a bang, we headed to Richmond to see Cassidi graduate from the 9 week Sheriff's Academy she participated in this summer. She did things like weapons week, chemical day, physical training, and defensive driving. She learned a significant amount of information and gained numerous skills.
She's now read to work in the jails of Henrico County. She'll be doing two 12 hour shifts a week. It will be interesting to see how all of that works out with her school schedule. I'm thinking she's going to be grumpy for a few years! She's definitely a person that needs her sleep. But she should be able to save enough money to pay for her second year of her masters program. That's the goal anyway!
In addition to this 40 hour a week program, she took three full credit college classes, of which she made three As. She was on a roll this summer and filled her weekends becoming a raft guide on the James River. We're super proud of her hard work and tenacity to survive such a grueling couple of months.
The drive to Richmond is 9 hours round trip. It was an extremely late night in which we didn't get home until 3:00 am. It wasn't the best plan to tie our vacation so closely with her graduation, but we only had a brief window of opportunity before her fall semester. It's hard to believe she'll be finished with her undergraduate degree in the spring. Time simply flies.
We're ready to enjoy some down time with her. It is very funny to hear the things coming out of her mouth related to law enforcement. We are going to have to get used to the fact she's growing up and will one day be able to arrest us!
Day one of our vacation was pretty successful.

Ready, set, VACATION!
Due to some clients changing their schedule, I'm getting an extra day off for our two and a half week adventure. It's going to be nearly 3 weeks off for me. I'm ok with that! With as crazy as this year has been with opening the new business, I think my body can use the down time from so much physical labor. We'll see if I can remember what it's like to not think MAMAW 24x7!
Our big adventure started as a family vacation to mark Jennifer's 30th birthday which is this fall. We did a three week trip out west the summer before her senior year of high school. We saw some magical places. The unfortunate piece is that neither of them remember much about it. They better we'll remember this time. I've changed it into both their birthdays and Christmas gifts... for 10 years! LOL
In planning this trip I keep telling myself it will probably be the last we take as just a foursome. My little family has grown up. It will be quite different with four adults this time. We've come up with some rules to follow so we can keep the peace. It will be interesting to see how long our rules hold out.
I made Jennifer come up with the outline of the itinerary. I then put on my project manager "i" dotter "t" crosser hat and added the meat to the plan. We'll be traveling through 16 states, see 5 national parks, visit 4 major cities, visit family, and sea kayak with killer whales in the most northerly corner of the west coast. By the time we're done, we'll travel close to 7000 miles and spend around 150 hours in a car seat. The hope is we'll have far more adventure than mis-adventure, but we're not naive enough to pretend there won't be some of that along the way. We are taking Tony McCann after all. He specializes in mis-adventure!!
I hope to keep my blog diary and post as many pictures as we can take. I love being able to look back over our travels to remember what happened and what we saw. When we do these marathon trips, so much happens in such a short amount of time, it's easy to forget. I hope you'll enjoy joining in on the ride!
