well, we left Anchorage friday night at 10PM. Me made it here Orange, Texas at 8 this morning. Took about 76 hours to make the trip i beleive. We saw at least 20+ buffalo, 20+ moose, a few caribu, some foxs, a wolf, mountian lion. wild horses, a few porcupine. We ranged from 34MPG to 26MPG. When we hit Kansas, the wind was teribble!!! made for bad MPG. I took just a few pics along the way, not much time to stop and take pics, but ill have more on the return trip, well stop alot to take pics.

Is it a state law in Montana that you wear that cowboy hat on your dashboard?? Thanks for keeping us up to date on your journey.
