Leg One Of A Great Journey


Excitement is what I was thinking, about to go on a  road trip, traveling through a wilderness to reach a frontier of the "last" variety. the proper arrangements where made to ensure safe travels, compasses where calibrated, maps where drawn, candy was stocked, and the Wilke brothers made sure to give there family suitable parting good byes; hugs and what not. 
The Wilkes welcomed me to there home-a rendezvous point on the to the last frontier.  This is picture of there medicine shelf. It might be socially unacceptable to photo graph and publish some ones personal  medicines. It is also a small reflection of there lives and health. 
I small Wilke boy was very proud of his Micky Mouse watch.


Gideon inspects Ginger for ticks. Gideon found one in the fold of her ear.

I suggest the ol' match ember burning trick. Ginger Could not hold her self still enough for an accurate removal.
We were off, on the road. Somewhere in British Colombia, we enjoyed each-others company. 

Canada

Taylor Swift transported us into an alternate universe of magic and wonder. We would give the stereo a break every couple of hours.

 Levi did not enjoy Taylor as much as Gideon or I, shame. It seemed to wear him out.


Feeling hungry and road weary we pulled over at a rest stop where this guy baked us beans.
Levi wakes from his slumber to wash the newly dirtied dishes.

We spent our last night by a thawing lake where, we indulged in drink and merry.
