Well, we made it across most of the United States in about 20 hours and arrived last night in Eagle, Nebraska.
In travelling news, we were lucky enough to have the technological mind of Mr. Weatherly set up streaming radio so we could tune into KRFC in Fort Collins. The signal didn't last for long, but we were able to listen to our good friends, Lonesome Traveler on Live at Lunch while driving across Missouri.
Travelling across the country with 4 people, 3 dogs, 5 instruments and enough gear for 3 months can get a little tight in a van... so our arrival at the home and Vineyard of Bart & Nancy Holmquist was a welcome break from the tight quarters!
The band members have been sleeping, eating Nancy's fabulous cooking, (fresh mango salsa, anyone?) enjoying the great house wine, and catching up on sleep. The dogs, who got plenty of rest in the car for 2 days, have been running and playing with the other two family members in the house, Mazy and Hydro. I know that we have all made friends for life!
While we have enjoyed our relaxing morning, we are really looking forward to the first show of the tour in a couple of hours!
Check back again for updates tomorrow when we will be crossing the border into Colorado for shows in Wray, Longmont, Fort Collins, Denver, Loveland and beyond!
Don't forget to check out the pictures!
