R and R!

DJ is resting at a close friends home in Montana before she and Big Bertha continue their journey Northward to Alaska. While in Montana, DJ will take some time to rejuvenate both body and spirit. Big Bertha will also get a little TLC in the form of a tune up and some fresh rubber. Until next time.... God Bless. Updated by DJ's husband Mark.

47 States - 3 to go.............

Alaska, California & Hawaii - YES!!!

Yesterday on I-94 I saw to vehicles, one with a Hawaii plate & another with Alaska - WHAT A SIGN!!! I'm starting the day in the rain but it should clear as I head through North Dakota. When I arrive in Montana I will be able to update you on more of the happens that Big Bertha & I have experienced - WOW!!!

Until next time my friends - God Bless, DJ & Big Bertha

F__kin A,what a night!!

DJ had a very interesting experience last night. It seems there were tornado warnings all around the area she was camped at. Shortly after she arrived the weather took a turn for the worse, before she knew it, she was in some of the worst weather she has ever experienced. It rained so hard and the wind was so fierce that she was literally holding on for dear life. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and wind pounded her little tent all night, it was all she could do just to keep the tent from tearing apart. She only managed about two hours sleep all night. But like the trooper she is, DJ shook it off and logged more than 400 miles stopping for the evening in Fargo North Dakota. What a gal! Until next time... God Bless. Updated by DJ's husband Mark.

Heading West!

DJ is hunkered down for the night at a campsite in Wisconsin. Until next time... God Bless. Updated by DJ's husband Mark.

Get rrrrrrr.............. done!

DJ is hunkered down in a campsite in Indiana. She would like to thank the GREAT folks of Cleveland/Akron Honda in Oakwood, Ohio for fixing Big Bertha's fuel line leak. They brought her in & treated like family - DJ traveled over 400 miles after the repair without a hitch. 46 states down, 4 to go! Until next time.... God Bless. Updated by DJ's husband Mark.

Big Bertha is getting her tubes tied.....................

Just kidding!! The fuel leek has gotten worse & trying to get her Montana would be too risky. Gas on a hot motor - NOT GOOD!!! I will be taking her to a shop in Ohio in the morning. Stay tuned...........

Thanks to the Knights Inn in Macedonia, OH. for giving me a discount on a room!

Just DJ's opinion:

Attention Ladies - as I have traveled throughout this country, the lastest styles are EVERYWHERE!! As women we need to stop asking if this makes my butt look big & take a good look at ourselves and ask OURSELVES should I be wear this JUST BECAUSE it is the lastest style??? 3/4 pants are not designed for all body types - & Double ZERO should not be a size!!!
If the lasted fashion is important to you - please consider this: choose to flatter - not to fit in.

Attention Men - with the Temps rising, shirts are coming off...........please guys my eyes are burning here!!Please tell me..............why is it OK for a man to have enough hair on his back to braid & if a woman has any hair body except on her head - it's gross??

OH.....................there is more questions & comments to come..................:)

Until next time my friends - God Bless, DJ & Big Bertha

Started out RUFF..................

My day that is...........we told you all about the fuel line mess in NJ, well the saga continues. I was looking over Big Bertha this morning & found the NEW fuel line that was just put on now has a small leek. No fuel leek is exceptable but on a Valk - loosing fuel is reaaaaal bad - we need all the fuel we can get!! I will keep a close eye on it......Big B. is not scheduled for service until we arrive in Montana the 3rd week of July. Never a dull moment - HUH???..................:)

A rainbow at the end of this Storm:
Thank you to: Dick & Dee Gheen owners of Woodland Campground in Woodland, PA for giving Big Bertha & me 50% off a very nice, quite campsite. God Bless you both!!

Still rolling WEST - Until next time my friends...God Bless, DJ & Big Bertha
