SILVERTHORNE, Colorado -- We've made it through Loveland Pass, crossing our first major hump of The Divide at just over 11,000 feet. The Heart of Gold has been a champ, barely even passing the halfway mark on the engine temp gauge.
This is also where we make our first real turn since Dayton, saying goodbye to I-70 as we turn onto Route 9 following the Blue Water River until it meets the headwaters of the Colorado River.
But first, the brakes are just starting to squeal a bit, so we to need to check them out. In the meantime, Willie's been singing to me in my mind all morning, so I thought I'd share the love.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost
-- J.R.R. Tolkien
(They) attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
-- Douglas Adams
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best...
-- Paul to the Philippians
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed
by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
-- Mark Twain

Ok, I realize that you posted twice yesterday, but they were early. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. I hope that the delay is because you are getting another head start and not due to any snags in the plan. Afterall you have to catch us up!
John, I don't know if Marlaina told you or if she will remember, so just in case I will repeat myself. When in Seattle, I have requested that you and Marlaina drink a cup or two of SBC for us. Marlaina informed me that you are the beer drinker so we also request that you down a few good micro brews for Marc and me. Marc likes a good IPA, I like a good amber. We both enjoy a good stout. I like my stout with a brownie, (although not a requirement.). If you go to the Pike Place Market let us know. We will tell you where to stop for the best seafood and who to ask for. That should cover it for now. Big wheels keep on turnin...
