Tour Launch Today!

Today is a very big day! Silas hits the road on what will be a great test for the truck and equipment. After a huge amount of research, Silas went and picked up a new Honda portable generator yesterday. It's working beyond expectations and allows Silas to be warm and able to function within the truck. I love that there's no worries about generator noise that will transfer to the videos. The cost was most uncomfortable but there's no question that it's worth every penny.

I can't go on this leg of the trip but I am beyond excited to see Silas get going and do all the things that have been planned for so long. If there's a way I can still be the navigator and write about things on the trip to the balloon fest, that Silas won't be writing about, maybe I can. We'll see. I have been to the area and the travel blog that this one is linked with may well benefit. In the mean time, I will sit tight here in Iowa and continue to raise money for the tour.

Big thanks to Mr and Mrs Lotho for taking good care of Silas and for suggesting the Balloon Fest! We are going to see some cool music and video come out of this trip! Wish our guy well and safe travel. Happy Motoring Darlin'!
