...not a field trip, but we want to be educated.
...not a business trip, but we need to work.
...not a family reunion, but we want to visit friends and family.
...not a vacation, but we want to be re-created.
...not a mission trip, but we want to be missional.

We want to purposefully step out of our comfortable house in a quiet and safe neighborhood in a clean conservative city, shake loose from a all-too-familiar daily routine, and seek adventure in the form of new places, new experiences, and new friends.

It bothers me a bit that the defining moments of my generation seem to be catastrophes - Space Shuttles exploding and terrorist attacks rather than celebratory events like putting a man on the moon.  Today being 9/11 it’s impossible to start the day out without reminiscing and honoring the memory of those who lost their lives or were otherwise affected by the attacks of 9 years ago.  But there’s more to the story.

It’s been a busy day today, with shipments of stuff arriving from UPS, Fed-Ex and USPS. We picked up recovered chairs for the interior and new mattresses to replace the “good enough for camping but not for living” RV versions.  The biggest visual change today was getting some lettering done on both the truck and trailer. 

The materials and installation labor were provided by an old Jeeping friend - Frank Sanborn out of Charlotte, MI.

Today I ordered the equipment that I hope will provide us with reliable and fast-enough internet connectivity.  Since I know there are a large number of geeks following us I thought I’d post the details.

We’re pleased to announce our latest sponsor: Turnstone Furniture.  Details can be found over on their sponsor page.
