Hi, Herrwego Nation! This blog entry is brought to you by guestblogger and new Gainesville resident, Marisa Pacella. Alexis and Jon went pretty much straight from Texas to Gainesville, FL as they’ve done New Orleans before and an extra day together was way more appealing than Alabama or Mississippi. Day 109 – 111 November 19…
Never having been to Texas I didn’t know what the cities would be like. Even through the weather was unusually cold and damp, San Antonio turned out to be delightful. Day 103 – 104 November 13 – November 14, 2014 Miles 12482 – 12802 There are not too many National Parks between New Mexico and…

Days 48 – 54 September 19 – September 25, 2014 Miles 6425 – 6559 We arrived in San Francisco late in the day and checked…
Portland was a great stop for good food and a good break between national parks on our way down the west coast. Days 42 – 44 September 13 – September 15, 2014 Miles 5397 – 5596 Next on the map was Portland and we decided to spend 2 nights there. As usual we showed up…
Our curse of bad rainy weather is finally over and my cold is gone! We arrived in Seattle Friday afternoon just after our host for the trip, Jon’s cousin Bill, got off of work for the weekend. Days 34 – 36 September 5 – September 7, 2014 Miles 4370 – 4649 The weather was…
