I’m sorry to report that we’ve cancelled the 2015 Texas trip for the time being. We were supposed to begin the trip April 4th (tomorrow), but Ann’s 86yo grandfather’s health has slipped rapidly in the past couple of days. Hospice assistance is now being provided to him. While his death has been expected for some time, it’s imminent enough that we both feel it is better remain in Pasco.

If we find ourselves skipping Texas this year, we should still be getting to Colorado/Utah/Nevada. There are some places I need to visit and photograph for my current book, so that trip (maybe May??) might be the replacement. Mostly, I’m just itching for a good long trip after being cooped up in my office researching and writing most of the last six months.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

Just a great looking wagon.
