Katy_3131 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Random question: Do you have all three of them on the bench or do you have something in the foot wells too? I can't tell where T is sitting..( I need a new car and can get a honda ridgeline cheep if I can get all the dogs into the back seat..)

Jeff Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 long long day 657 miles on some rough bad roads in portions. Lots of caribou in the way this morning as well. All 5 of us are beat. Tomorrow is another 600+ mile day too. To answer the question above, the foot wells (along with the rest of the truck) are completely packed. Fish (Plecos) in a cooler on the left and our day travel bag on the right. That is all topped with a foam mattress pad for the dogs to lay on.

Trudy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 2 themes today... Caribou and crazy dogs The caribou - not good for time or gas mileage when you have to keep stopping to let a caribou or two or three or a herd of 20 get out of the road Crazy dogs and their thoughts for the day (this was NOT staged lol) Yes - he rode like that for quite a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I realize all this wildlife is slowing you down and making for a more treacherous drive, but OHMYGOSH, what amazing things you are seeing! Some people pay a fortune to take tours and never see anything half as cool as the photos you've posted over the past few days. I'm loving taking the trip vicariously with you. Keep the photos coming! Quote ...............Chase (FTH Smooth Talker), Morgan (Cata), Reggie (Gable Caney), Rufus (Reward RJ). Fosters check in, but they don't check out.

Guest bigbrindlebunny Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Incredible pictures, I'm seein' them but I ain't believin' them. All we have here in DC today is traffic, more traffic, and traffic due to security blockades for (you guessed it) Nuclear Summit motorcades.
