Yeah, yeah, yeah. The photos link has been broken for ages. I know. The problem was primarily with Yahoo Hosting Service's massive suckitude. Christy did some legwork to move our domain registrar over to GoDaddy.com and lickety split - problem solved.

The moral of this story, kids, is that Yahoo domain registrar can take a flying leap. Oh, and stay in school.

Montana forest fire

We're on another marathon drive, this time from Yankton, SD to as far
as we can get in Montana. We just passed Columbus, MT, host to this
currently raging forest fire. We could see the flames from the
highway...so sad. This is our 2nd fire we've seen, the last one was
in Helena on our way east. Here's to hoping this is the last.

Tuesday we put on to the Snake River for a 5 day rafting trip. Our
last major hurrah before heading back to Seattle!

cedar point amusement park

We were given tickets to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, OH (home to Callahan Auto Parts) for our honeymoon (thanks Tom and Linda!!). We had a brilliant fun day but the highlight was definitely the Top Thrill Dragster ride. 0 to 120MPH in 3.8 seconds. Vertical climb of 420 feet. See for yourself:

the new truck

After a bee-line across the country, we made it to CT to visit my parents for a few days this week. The logistical plan of this trip has gotten complicated and is as follows:

- ride the motorcycle around for a few weeks and drop it off in Coeur d'Alene, ID
- pick up my parents' car in ID that they left after the wedding and drive it to CT
- pick up my parents' old truck in CT and drive that back to Seattle

My parents were nice enough to give us their old Ford Ranger. They did mention that they weren't doing us any favors. When the windsheild spray and wipers come on randomly as we're driving down the highway, we laugh it off. But 2 hours after picking up the truck, when the clutch stopped working in traffic, we didn't find it quite as funny.

We're currently in NJ at Mohini's house, an unscheduled overnight on our way to DC. But the truck seems to have fixed itself, so that's always a good sign.

:)

Someday, we'll catch up on blogposts, but for now, off to DC!

Our favorite signs so far...

1) Weeds are a pain in the grass!
(apparently BC hay farmers don't mess around with their weeds)

2) Badger crossing
(forget about the moose and bear. Those badgers are sneaky)

3) Hours: mon-sat 9-6, sun 9-6
(New Denver grocery store. Beware those tricky Sunday hours)

We're in hopping Eureka, MT...heading towards Fernie, BC for our 4th border crossing into Canada. Taking bets on whether we'll get cavity searched at the border...
