Hi everyone! As many of you know, Adair and I made it safely into New Orleans and are staying in the dorms on campus for a few days while we get settled and try to find a place. I just figured out how to connect to the internet here, so more updates and more episodes of "Dane & Adair's Travel Log" should be up soon! We experienced a small measure of homesickness the first night, as we found ourselves in a strange place surrounded by strange people and for now we don't really have a place to call our own. However, today I think we are both feeling better, and Adair is already off to work so that she can financially support my scholarly whims :) Note: Thanks to Grandma for the explanation of the snow fences mentioned in day two of our "Travel Log," that was one of our guesses.

This country needs more weird oversized Abe Lincoln heads, no? Pit stop in Nowheresville, Wyoming

On Friday, July 27th, Adair and I left Salem at about 9:00 local time. We made good progress east through Pendleton, and into Idaho.

In Burley, there was a triathlon starting the next day. I saw no water in the area, so I assume it was a triathlon involving some sort of dinner/desert/alcohol consumption competition. So, we pushed right on through. Once entering Utah, things definitely got better. We found a hotel on my dying phone, and reserved it. Unfortunately, it was a complete trash heap of a place, but it was cheap and our car was left untouched during the night. Not sure how many Mormons we saw, but at Denny's a...

Welcome to Dane & Adair's Travel Blog! (a.k.a Bonnie and Snide) Hello family and friends! As we trek across the country, Adair and I decided it would be fun to keep a log of our trip, by way of pictures, videos, and as of today, blog posts. Right now we are in a small city called Limon, Colorado, about an hour outside of Denver, and we finally found a safe-looking spot to lay our heads... Hope you all enjoy!
