Hey y'all!
So we have a new thing going on, we have to be in Idaho for doctor appts and various other reasons, so we decided to store the bus for the month and stay with family.
The fuel cost to drive the bus and car the 800 miles back to Kooskia, along with space rent at an rv park there, would have left us with little money left over, so that's why we decided to just take the car.
I won't have cell service once we get into town (gotta love tiny towns), so I'll update when we get back to the bus on or around the 1st of May.
God bless y'all!

3/7/18 Crescent City, Ca Round 2!
Hey y'all!
So I'm writing this one on Sunday the 11th, but should have written it on the 7th, so that's why the date is the 7th.
Anyways, we made the drive. We are back in Crescent City, CA. So glad to be done that drive! Before we drive the bus back across, we have to have the gears re-done in the pumpkin, 60mph max takes FOREVER!!!! Either change the gearing, or we will have to get a new commuter-style bus... Like a greyhound, or a tour bus. (Preferably one with a toilet already installed and working!)
So, back to the trip.... We ended up staying in truck stops the entire trip, which saved us easily $300+, so while it was cold at night, it was a good thing. We drove from Gautier, MS up through Shreveport, LS. Then we drove up through Amarillo, TX to Albuquerque, NM, then on to Flagstaff, AZ. From there we went through Bakersfield, CA up to Yuba City, CA where we stayed 2 might because of family we have there. On the morning of the 7th we headed out for the final 300+/- miles up to Crescent City.
Needless to say, we are glad to not drive for a while! We are grateful to have the opportunity to be back at the beach, it is absolutely beautiful, even though we need to buy Wetsuit boots and gloves so we can surf for longer than 45min or so! Shanesta and Lucas need new wetsuits with long sleeves and legs, the summer suits don't really work in 50degree water! But that will come with time. The days of board shorts and t-shirts to surf are on hold for a while! Hahaha!
Well that's about it for now, we are heading back to Idaho on the 1st of April, so I will update more later.
God Bless y'all!
