We're heading West in a big way, but in a rather small car. Most of you know that. Most of you know it'll be two adults and three kids (ages 6, 3, and 11.75 months) in one Volvo station wagon. And most of you know our ultimate destination is a log cabin -- being rented by two of our dearest friends -- on Spoon Lake outside the town of Columbia Falls, Montana, and just minutes from the west entrance to Glacier National Park.
This is our way of getting started. Our trip begins a week from today: July 27, 2007, some time after 1 o'clock in the afternoon (when the workday is over).
This is also our way of getting started with this blog. I hope there will be much more to come, including photos and commentary from others in the traveling party. We'll try to make you laugh, try to make you come back for more, and try to keep you entertained every day of our trip (as long as we get some WiFi on a daily basis). We hope you'll see a little of what we see along the road, including over half a dozen national parks and any number of roadside oddities, attractions, and museums.
More than just a road diary, with this blog we'll try to connect you to the West that we're heading off to enjoy.
Comments, suggestions, and general finger-pointing are welcome, of course.

Hey good luck with the engine light. What a drag. I always assume it's a faulty light. When my "check oil light" went on in my Toyota Trecell years ago, I was smart enough to make the self diagnosis of a faulty light. Of course it turned out to be out of oil, but how was I to know that?
Thanks for sharing the blog address. I'm excited to hear the details, good and bad. Although I must request only good feedback from the visit at the Cincinnati stop. Right?
Drive safely and see you in a few days.
