Well, not literally on the road “with”, but after prepping for this road trip to Chicago with a plethora of Wright books as well as good stuff from the internet, we feel that we’ve become pretty good buds with the old guy. We will immerse ourselves in the heart of Wright country and see many of his creations up close. We’ll cover a few thousand miles over one month and there’s lots more than FLW to see, too. All the while we’ll pass on a few pearls of wisdom - depending on your perspective, of course. This blog is actually being written for us, so that we can relive the exuberance of youth when in our dotage. As with our past road trips, for those friends who want to come along for the ride, there’s no obligation, no app, plus it’s free. That said, we’re happy to have you join us as we head for our first stop when we leave on Tuesday, May 29, to that old standby, beautiful downtown Winnemucca. Chicago is still a few days away and many miles down the line. Wagons Ho!
Day 1: Gold River to Winnemucca NV, 288 miles.
The kitchen sink is NOT there. Just the necessities. Our house’s foundation rose a full foot, though. That said, now you see it.....
...PRESTO, now you don’t. Cricket was sweating bullets.
Great day, top temp in the low nineties. Cruise control “on” while listening to a fresh 64 gig MP3 stick that Pam just loaded yesterday with the vast majority of our personal music library. Pandora and You Tube eat your hearts out! Yay Ray Conniff!!
